Background information: the driver operates the hardware in a mode where
a single VLAN can be transmitted as untagged on a particular egress
port. That is the "native VLAN on trunk port" use case. Its value is
held in port->vid.
Consider the following command sequence (no network manager, all
interfaces are down, debugging prints added by me):
$ ip link add dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
$ ip link set dev swp0 master br0
Kernel code path during last command:
br_add_slave -> ocelot_netdevice_port_event (NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER):
[ 21.401901] ocelot_vlan_port_apply: port 0 vlan aware 0 pvid 0 vid 0
br_add_slave -> nbp_vlan_init -> switchdev_port_attr_set -> ocelot_port_attr_set (SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING):
[ 21.413335] ocelot_vlan_port_apply: port 0 vlan aware 1 pvid 0 vid 0
br_add_slave -> nbp_vlan_init -> nbp_vlan_add -> br_switchdev_port_vlan_add -> switchdev_port_obj_add -> ocelot_port_obj_add -> ocelot_vlan_vid_add
[ 21.667421] ocelot_vlan_port_apply: port 0 vlan aware 1 pvid 1 vid 1
So far so good. The bridge has replaced the driver's default pvid used
in standalone mode (0) with its own default_pvid (1). The port's vid
(native VLAN) has also changed from 0 to 1.
$ ip link set dev swp0 up
[ 31.722956] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device swp0
do_setlink -> dev_change_flags -> vlan_vid_add -> ocelot_vlan_rx_add_vid -> ocelot_vlan_vid_add:
[ 31.728700] ocelot_vlan_port_apply: port 0 vlan aware 1 pvid 1 vid 0
The 8021q module uses the .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid API on .ndo_open to make
ports be able to transmit and receive 802.1p-tagged traffic by default.
This API is supposed to offload a VLAN sub-interface, which for a switch
port means to add a VLAN that is not a pvid, and tagged on egress.
But the driver implementation of .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid is wrong: it adds
back vid 0 as "egress untagged". Now back to the initial paragraph:
there is a single untagged VID that the driver keeps track of, and that
has just changed from 1 (the pvid) to 0. So this breaks the bridge
core's expectation, because it has changed vid 1 from untagged to
tagged, when what the user sees is.
$ bridge vlan
port vlan ids
swp0 1 PVID Egress Untagged
br0 1 PVID Egress Untagged
But curiously, instead of manifesting itself as "untagged and
pvid-tagged traffic gets sent as tagged on egress", the bug:
- is hidden when vlan_filtering=0
- manifests as dropped traffic when vlan_filtering=1, due to this setting:
if (port->vlan_aware && !port->vid)
/* If port is vlan-aware and tagged, drop untagged and priority
* tagged frames.
*/
val |= ANA_PORT_DROP_CFG_DROP_UNTAGGED_ENA |
ANA_PORT_DROP_CFG_DROP_PRIO_S_TAGGED_ENA |
ANA_PORT_DROP_CFG_DROP_PRIO_C_TAGGED_ENA;
which would have made sense if it weren't for this bug. The setting's
intention was "this is a trunk port with no native VLAN, so don't accept
untagged traffic". So the driver was never expecting to set VLAN 0 as
the value of the native VLAN, 0 was just encoding for "invalid".
So the fix is to not send 802.1p traffic as untagged, because that would
change the port's native vlan to 0, unbeknownst to the bridge, and
trigger unexpected code paths in the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
