IVDF - individual virtual device filtering. Allows to set per vlan
l2 address filters on end real network device (for unicast and for
multicast) and drop redundant not expected packet income.
If CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_IVDF is enabled the following changes are
applied, and only for ethernet network devices.
By default every ethernet netdev needs vid len = 2 bytes to be able to
hold up to 4096 vids. So set it for every eth device to be correct,
except vlan devs.
In order to shrink all addresses of devices above vlan, the vid_len
for vlan dev = 0, as result all suckers sync their addresses to common
base not taking in to account vid part (vid_len of "to" devices is
important only). And only vlan device is the source of addresses with
actual its vid set, propagating it to parent devices while rx_mode().
Also, don't bother those ethernet devices that at this moment are not
moved to vlan addressing scheme, so while end ethernet device is
created - set vid_len to 0, thus, while syncing, its address space is
concatenated to one dimensional like usual, and who needs IVDF - set
it to NET_8021Q_VID_TSIZE.
There is another decision - is to inherit vid_len or some feature flag
from end root device in order to all upper devices have vlan extended
address space only if exact end real device have such capability. But
I didn't, because it requires more changes and probably I'm not
familiar with all places where it should be inherited, I would
appreciate if someone can guid where it's applicable, then it could
become a little bit more limited.
