Description Andy Gospodarek 2010-05-20 15:02:51 UTC
VLANs cannot be created on vxge-based devices because there is no definition for netdev->vlan_rx_kill_vid.  This should be added and pulled from upstream.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-20 17:59:28 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 3 Michal Schmidt 2010-08-26 14:48:18 UTC
I have added vlan_rx_kill_vid while doing bug 608598.

Brew build: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=2709623

I uploaded the built RPMs here:
http://people.redhat.com/mschmidt/kernel/bz608598/

Not tested yet.

in kernel-2.6.18-221.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5

Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed.
