    rocker: Handle SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD/_DEL · c6fa35b2
    Petr Machata authored
    Following patches will change the way of distributing port object
    changes from a switchdev operation to a switchdev notifier. The
    switchdev code currently recursively descends through layers of lower
    devices, eventually calling the op on a front-panel port device. The
    notifier will instead be sent referencing the bridge port device, which
    may be a stacking device that's one of front-panel ports uppers, or a
    completely unrelated device.
    
    rocker currently doesn't support any uppers other than bridge. Thus the
    only case that a stacked device could be validly referenced by port
    object notifications are bridge notifications for VLAN objects added to
    the bridge itself. But the driver explicitly rejects such notifications
    in rocker_world_port_obj_vlan_add(). It is therefore safe to assume that
    the only interesting case is that the notification is on a front-panel
    port netdevice.
    
    Subscribe to the blocking notifier chain. In the handler, filter out
    notifications on any foreign netdevices. Dispatch the new notifiers to
    rocker_port_obj_add() resp. _del() to maintain the behavior that the
    switchdev operation based code currently has.
