I dug into this and I don't think the two are symmetric. The egress reject is right for exactly the reason you gave: in tc you can redirect to the VLAN device directly, so reducing the egress to the physical parent is only needed for XDP. But that is a transmit argument, and VLAN_INPUT never touches the egress or redirect side. It only sets the lookup's ingress (flowi_iif), which picks the iif policy rule and the VRF table, and there is no XDP-only constraint there for the symmetry to mirror. tc also has a real user for it. In __netif_receive_skb_core() the tcx ingress hook runs before vlan_do_receive() demuxes the frame, so a clsact program on the physical port sees a tagged frame with skb->dev still the physical device and the tag in skb->vlan_tci. That is exactly the physical-ifindex-plus-tag input VLAN_INPUT takes, and it wants the subinterface-scoped answer. The 2/3 selftest already runs the VLAN_INPUT cases on the tc path, including the VRF-table-selection ones, and they pass, so this isn't a theoretical tc path. So I would keep VLAN_INPUT allowed on both. If you would rather hold a uniform "both VLAN flags are XDP-only" line under the same restrict-now-relax-later rule as the TBID and OUTPUT combos, I will add the reject, but unlike the egress case it removes a working tc path rather than one tc cannot use. Happy either way, just let me know. Thanks for the review. -Avinash
