For switches that don't, I was thinking that we could add a check within DSA that bridging with software uppers such as LAGs can be allowed only as long as the bridge is VLAN-aware. If it is, then the classified VLAN for packets on standalone ports can be made == 0, and if independent VLAN learning is used, then the FDB entries learned on bridged ports will always have a VLAN ID != 0, so the standalone switch port won't attempt to shortcircuit the forwarding process towards the bridge port. Anyway, we can have both solutions, yours and the generic DSA restriction. I was just not expecting to see a fix for this already, it makes me think that the DSA restriction for VLAN-unaware software bridging should not be unconditional, but we should guard it behind a new bool option like ds->fdb_shared_across_all_ports = true or something like that. What do you think?
