Does adding one or two more nested VLANs move the panic into the

No, for both of the reasons above: there is no room to add more
(-EMLINK at N = 7), and skb_cow_head() would absorb it if there were.

What about the scenario that involves nested VLANs? For example:

vlan.1 - vlan.1.2 ... vlan.1..6 - bond - bond.1 - bond.1.2 ... bond.1..6?

Oh, I just remember that the MAX_NEST_DEV is 8. So there could be only 1
VLAN slave with this topology.

Thanks
