Ido Schimmel 635c8c8bba mlxsw: spectrum: Remove reference count from VLAN entries Commit `b3529af6bb` ("spectrum: Reference count VLAN entries") started reference counting port-VLAN entries in a similar fashion to the 8021q driver. However, this is not actually needed and only complicates things. Instead, the driver should forbid the creation of a VLAN on a port if this VLAN already exists. This would also solve the issue fixed by the mentioned commit. Therefore, remove the get()/put() API and use create()/destroy() instead. One place that needs special attention is VLAN addition in a VLAN-aware bridge via switchdev operations. In case the VLAN flags (e.g., 'pvid') are toggled, then the VLAN entry already exists. To prevent the driver from wrongly returning EEXIST, the driver is changed to check in the prepare phase whether the entry already exists and only returns an error in case it is not associated with the correct bridge port.

README

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.
