The VLAN aware bridge offloading is similar to the VLAN unaware offloading, this makes it possible to offload the VLAN bridge functionalities. The hardware supports up to 64 VLAN bridge entries, we already use one entry for each LAN port to prevent forwarding of packets between the ports when the ports are not in a bridge, so in the end we have 57 possible VLANs. The VLAN filtering is currently only active when the ports are in a bridge, VLAN filtering for ports not in a bridge is not implemented. It is currently not possible to change between VLAN filtering and not filtering while the port is already in a bridge, this would make the driver more complicated. The VLANs are only defined on bridge entries, so we will not add anything into the hardware when the port joins a bridge if it is doing VLAN filtering, but only when an allowed VLAN is added.

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.
