      enetc: permit configuration of rx-vlan-filter with ethtool · 7070eea5
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      Each ENETC station interface (SI) has a VLAN filter list and a port
      flag (PSIPVMR) by which it can be put in "VLAN promiscuous" mode, which
      enables the reception of VLAN-tagged traffic even if it is not in the
      VLAN filtering list.
      
      Currently the handling of this setting works like this: the port starts
      off as VLAN promiscuous, then it switches to enabling VLAN filtering as
      soon as the first VLAN is installed in its filter via
      .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid. In practice that does not work out very well,
      because more often than not, the first VLAN to be installed is out of
      the control of the user: the 8021q module, if loaded, adds its rule for
      802.1p (VID 0) traffic upon bringing the interface up.
      
      What the user is currently seeing in ethtool is this:
      ethtool -k eno2
      rx-vlan-filter: on [fixed]
      
      which doesn't match the intention of the code, but the practical reality
      of having the 8021q module install its VID which has the side-effect of
      turning on VLAN filtering in this driver. All in all, a slightly
      confusing experience.
      
      So instead of letting this driver switch the VLAN filtering state by
      itself, just wire it up with the rx-vlan-filter feature from ethtool,
      and let it be user-configurable just through that knob, except for one
      case, see below.
      
      In promiscuous mode, it is more intuitive that all traffic is received,
      including VLAN tagged traffic. It appears that it is necessary to set
      the flag in PSIPVMR for that to be the case, so VLAN promiscuous mode is
      also temporarily enabled. On exit from promiscuous mode, the setting
      made by ethtool is restored.
