[Bridge] [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] bridge: make setlink/dellink notifications more accurate
Hi, Before this set the bridge would generate a notification on vlan add or del even if they didn't actually do any changes, which confuses listeners and is generally not preferred. We could also lose notifications on actual changes if one adds a range of vlans and there's an error in the middle. The problem with just breaking and returning an error is that we could break existing user-space scripts which rely on the vlan delete to clear all existing entries in the specified range and ignore the non-existing errors (typically used to clear the current vlan config). So in order to make the notifications more accurate while keeping backwards compatibility we add a boolean that tracks if anything actually changed during the config calls. The vlan add is more difficult to fix because it always returns 0 even if nothing changed, but we cannot use a specific error because the drivers can return anything and we may mask it, also we'd need to update all places that directly return the add result, thus to signal that a vlan was created or updated and in order not to break overlapping vlan range add we pass down the new boolean that tracks changes to the add functions to check if anything was actually updated. Can't say that I am happy with this change, but currently I don't see any simpler way which doesn't affect user-space. v2: pass changed down to vlan add instead of masking errors Thanks, Nik Nikolay Aleksandrov (2): bridge: netlink: make setlink/dellink notifications more accurate bridge: vlan: signal if anything changed on vlan add net/bridge/br_netlink.c | 51 ++++++++++++++++----------- net/bridge/br_netlink_tunnel.c | 14 +++++--- net/bridge/br_private.h | 6 ++-- net/bridge/br_private_tunnel.h | 3 +- net/bridge/br_vlan.c | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 5 files changed, 102 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) -- 2.1.4

[Bridge] [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] bridge: netlink: make setlink/dellink notifications more accurate
Before this patch we had cases that either sent notifications when there
were in fact no changes (e.g. non-existent vlan delete) or didn't send
notifications when there were changes (e.g. vlan add range with an error in
the middle, port flags change + vlan update error). This patch sends down
a boolean to the functions setlink/dellink use and if there is even a
single configuration change (port flag, vlan add/del, port state) then
we always send a notification. This is all done to keep backwards
compatibility with the opportunistic vlan delete, where one could
specify a vlan range that has missing vlans inside and still everything
in that range will be cleared, this is mostly used to clear the whole
vlan config with a single call, i.e. range 1-4094.

[Bridge] [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] bridge: vlan: signal if anything changed on vlan add
Before this patch there was no way to tell if the vlan add operation
actually changed anything, thus we would always generate a notification
on adds. Let's make the notifications more precise and generate them
only if anything changed, so use the new bool parameter to signal that the
vlan was updated. We cannot return an error because there are valid use
cases that will be broken (e.g. overlapping range add) and also we can't
risk masking errors due to calls into drivers for vlan add which can
potentially return anything.

v2: pass changed down to vlan add functions instead of using a specific
