Update vlan mc and uc addresses with VID tag while propagating address

Underlying driver for the real device would be able to properly identify
that you are attempting to add an address to a virtual device, which
happens to be of VLAN kind so I am really not sure this is the right
approach here.
From there, it seems to me that we have two situations:
- each of your network devices expose VLAN devices directly on top of
the real device, in which case your driver should support
ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid and ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid to know when VLAN devices
are create and maintain a VLAN device to VID correspondence if it needs
to when being called while setting the addresses
- you are setting up a bridge that is VLAN aware on one of your bridge
ports, and there you can use switchdev to learn about such events and
know about both addresses as well as VIDs that must be programmed into
your real device
No limits to have any "middle" device between real end device and
virtual one, not only a bridge, but also other kind. And as it's generic
change, it should cover all such cases, the simplest example is:
real_dev/macvlan/vlan.
It is not generic if the additional information is a VLAN ID, that
construct does not apply to all types of virtual devices, that is part
of my issue with the extra VID that is being added. If this was a void *
priv and any virtual device could pass up/down information that might be
more acceptable.
I tractate it as virtual identification not relating it to vlans only.
VID just uses for eth devices part of already reserved address.
I was also thinking about passing smth like pointer on vlan device,
frankly even don't remember what stopped me, probably size of pointer or
so, maybe it looked harder... but it still seems possible and at least for
ethernet address is enough space: 32 - 6 = 26, 26 > 8.
Despite it only combines methods with extended address space and passing
link to vlan device, it adds ability to apply allmulti and promisc modes
per vlans.
It seems to me that what you need may be something like either:
- notifications on slave devices when addresses are added via
ndo_set_rxmode()
or
- dev_{uc,mc}_sync() should be augmented with a "source net_device"
argument which allows you to differentiate which network device is the
source of the address programming. That way, no need to "hash" the MAC
address with a VID, any network device specific information can be
provided and in the real device driver you can do: if
(netif_is_vlan()... etc.)
No issue to retrieve vlan dev if it's directly on top of real dev.
Issue is to get it when it's not directly connected as it's not in
vlan_info group list. Who knows what else can be "structed" on top of
real dev till the vlan device. Please look on reply for cover letter,
as it seems requires similar response.
In that case, there are notifications generated that you must be
listening to determine whether you have something like a VLAN device on
top of a bond, which is a port member of a bridge, on which one of your
real device port is enslaved (yes, it can be that type of stacking).
It becomes even harder, traversing all structure of devices, seems not very
simple task.
Hopefully someone else will chime in.
