Linux kernel source tree

The VLAN filters info is currently being held in a list and 2 bitmaps
(active_cvlans and active_svlans). We are experiencing some racing where
data is not in sync in the list and bitmaps. For example, the VLAN is
initially added to the list but only when the PF replies, it is added to
the bitmap. If a user adds many V2 VLANS before the PF responds:
while [ $((i++)) ]
ip l add l eth0 name eth0.$i type vlan id $i
we might end up with more VLAN list entries than the designated limit.
Also, The "ip link show" will show more links added than the PF limit.
On the other and, the bitmaps are only used to check the number of VLAN
filters and to re-enable the filters when the interface goes from DOWN to
UP.
This patch gets rid of the bitmaps and uses the list only. To do that,
the states of the VLAN filter are modified:
1 - IAVF_VLAN_REMOVE: the entry needs to be totally removed after informing
the PF. This is the "ip link del eth0.$i" path.
2 - IAVF_VLAN_DISABLE: (new) the netdev went down. The filter needs to be
removed from the PF and then marked INACTIVE.
3 - IAVF_VLAN_INACTIVE: (new) no PF filter exists, but the user did not
delete the VLAN.

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.
