Yes, doing what you suggest would make perfect sense for a DSA master that
is capable of VLAN filtering, I did encounter that problem with e1000 and
the dsa-loop.c mockup driver while working on a mock-up 802.1Q data path.
Yes, I have another patch where I add those VLANs from tag_8021q.c which
I did not show here.
But if the DSA switch that uses tag_8021q is cascaded to another one,
that's of little use if the upper switch does not propagate that
configuration to its own upstream.
Yes, that would not work. As soon as you have a bridge spanning any of those
switches, does not the problem go away by virtue of the switch port forcing
the DSA master/upstream to be in promiscuous mode?
Well, yes, bridged it works but standalone it doesn't. A bit strange if
you ask me.
Agreed there is no question this should be fixed.
