Simply put, the best-effort VLAN filtering mode relied on VLAN retagging from a bridge VLAN towards a tag_8021q sub-VLAN in order to be able to decode the source port in the tagger, but the VLAN retagging implementation inside the sja1105 chips is not the best and we were relying on marginal operating conditions. The most notable limitation of the best-effort VLAN filtering mode is its incapacity to treat this case properly: ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 ip link set swp2 master br0 ip link set swp4 master br0 bridge vlan del dev swp4 vid 1 bridge vlan add dev swp4 vid 1 pvid When sending an untagged packet through swp2, the expectation is for it to be forwarded to swp4 as egress-tagged (so it will contain VLAN ID 1 on egress). But the switch will send it as egress-untagged. There was an attempt to fix this here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210407201452.1703261-2-olteanv@gmail.com/ but it failed miserably because it broke PTP RX timestamping, in a way that cannot be corrected due to hardware issues related to VLAN retagging. So with either PTP broken or pushing VLAN headers on egress for untagged packets being broken, the sad reality is that the best-effort VLAN filtering code is broken. Delete it. Note that this means there will be a temporary loss of functionality in this driver until it is replaced with something better (network stack RX/TX capability for "mode 2" as described in Documentation/networking/dsa/sja1105.rst, the "port under VLAN-aware bridge" case). We simply cannot keep this code until that driver rework is done, it is super bloated and tangled with tag_8021q. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
