Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: Switchdev representors are not vlan challenged
Git-commit: b2107cdc43d8601f2cadfba990ae844cc1f44e68
Patch-mainline: v5.15-rc6
References: stable-5.14.14
commit b2107cdc43d8601f2cadfba990ae844cc1f44e68 upstream.
Before this patch, mlx5 representors advertised the
NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED bit, this could lead to missing features when
using reps with vxlan/bridge and maybe other virtual interfaces,
when such interfaces inherit this bit and block vlan usage in their
topology.
Example:
$ip link add dev bridge type bridge
# add representor interface to the bridge
$ip link set dev pf0hpf master
$ip link add link bridge name vlan10 type vlan id 10 protocol 802.1q
Error: 8021q: VLANs not supported on device.
Reps are perfectly capable of handling vlan traffic, although they don't
implement vlan_{add,kill}_vid ndos, hence, remove
NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED advertisement.
