Currently it never happens that a netdevice that is already a bridge slave would suddenly become mlxsw upper. The only case where this might be possible as far as mlxsw is concerned, is with LAG netdevices. But if a LAG has any upper (e.g. is enslaved), enlaving mlxsw port to that LAG is forbidden. Thus the only way to install a LAG between a bridge and a mlxsw port is by first enslaving the port to the LAG, and then enslaving that LAG to a bridge. At that point there are no bridge objects (such as port VLANs) to replay. Those are added afterwards, and notified as they are created. This holds even for the PVID. However in the following patches, the requirement that ports be only enslaved to masters without uppers, is going to be relaxed. It will therefore be necessary to replay the existing bridge objects. Without this replay, e.g. the mlxsw bridge_port_vlan objects are not instantiated, which causes issues later, as a lot of code relies on their presence. To that end, add a new notifier block whose sole role is to filter out events related to the one relevant upper, and forward those to the existing switchdev notifier block. Pass the new notifier block to switchdev_bridge_port_offload() when the bridge port is created.

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.
