My 2 cent on this... A kernel upgrade is not viable for a stable release. The problem here is simple... Things related to VLAN are broken in 5.10 and got fixed in 5.15. DSA is ""easy enough"" to check all the changes related to VLAN and mvebu switch and backport them to 5.10. (even warning some kernel guy once the affected patch are found and sent to stable mailing list to ask greg to be backported) Problem is that we currently lack manpower to bisect this and ideally by disabling these target we will push the community on finding the problem. Require some time but the fact that things are broken on 5.10 and are fixed in 5.15 makes everything less hard to bisect... Someone can totally have some fun building intermediate kernel 5.11, 5.12, 5.13 once things starts to work so he can reduce the patch to check... AFAIK there were many changes to VLAN part and were totally related to mvebu so it just require some user with the device and time to actually bisect this. Once we have the affected commit we can totally backport them and put the patch for the mvebu target and we will reenable the affected devices. > _______________________________________________ > openwrt-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel -- Ansuel _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
