[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIE ifupdown2/common] disable rx-vlan-filter on iface in vlan-aware-bridge

[Alexandre Derumier]

Hi,

Some nics like mellanox connect-x  or intel i40e don't work with vlan-aware-bridge
when too many vlans are defined.
Depend of the model, connectx-3 is limited to 64 vlans, connect-x4 to 128vlans
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-7-and-mellanox-connectx4-and-vlan-aware-bridge.104926/#post-555269

i40e seem to throw errors like
Jan 18 14:44:27 jupiter kernel: [ 145.060365] i40e 0000:3d:00.0: Error I40E_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/error-i40e_aq_rc_enospc-forcing-overflow-promiscuous-on-pf.62875/
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-8-and-i40e-driver-kernel-6-2.129364/

rx-vlan-filter is only a protection to drop packets with unknown vlan at nic level.
(not related to vlan offloading, where nic can support any number of vlan)

When vlan-aware is enabled, bridge is already doing the vlan filtering, so it's pretty safe to disable it.
(AFAIK, it was not enabled on proxmox 5, as I didn't have mellanox problem at this time)

This patch serie add support to ifupdown2 to "rx-vlan-filter" and add ethtool as depend
and rx-vlan-filter is added to /etc/network/interfaces on phys nic if the nic is port of vlan aware bridge.
(or slave of bond port of vlan-aware-bridge)

(maybe they are other related bug reports)

..the submodule commit change seems wrong though, you change it here to some
non-upstream commit and in the "import traceback" patch you change it back
again.

I dropped this here and ammend your patch.

this doesn't apply, the diff context make it seems like you got more lines
on top - extra patches/commits?
