Jordan, With lots of further testing, these patches do defintely help. I still can't reliably debug an mbuf crash that happens within 5-10 minutes of bringing up the vlans with some traffic though. All the backtrace tells me is that someone smashed the buffer. At the very least, I'd like to see the ability to compile a kernel with ti0 and vlan turned on in 3.4-RELEASE. A kernel config that doesn't link is pretty embarassing. The ifconfig support is required as well to actually configure and use the vlan devices. I understand that 3.0 was -CURRENT (and bleeding edge) when this was originally committed. (Garrett's work in progress). Bill Paul, who's been graciously chatting with me on IRC about these issues, added some hardware tag support (also incomplete). Now it's in the -STABLE branch, which it ain't. My patches do fix problems in the code, but it's not functional enough for -STABLE IMNSHO. (No Offense to Bill & Garrett's free-time-constraied, and appreciated efforts) If you're not willing to commit (which I fully understand), then I recommend removal if_vlan.c and the hooks in ti0 from -STABLE, until it's a little less volatile. - Steve -- C.
