Hi,
Before this set the bridge would generate a notification on vlan add or del
even if they didn't actually do any changes, which confuses listeners and
is generally not preferred. We could also lose notifications on actual
changes if one adds a range of vlans and there's an error in the middle.
The problem with just breaking and returning an error is that we could
break existing user-space scripts which rely on the vlan delete to clear
all existing entries in the specified range and ignore the non-existing
errors (typically used to clear the current vlan config).
So in order to make the notifications more accurate while keeping backwards
compatibility we add a boolean that tracks if anything actually changed
during the config calls.

The vlan add is more difficult to fix because it always returns 0 even if
nothing changed, so we use EEXIST to signal that and in order not to break
overlapping vlan range add or script return expectations we clear it on
return, the functions used by vlan add are not expected to return EEXIST.

Thanks,
 Nik

Before this patch we had cases that either sent notifications when there
were in fact no changes (e.g. non-existent vlan delete) or didn't send
notifications when there were changes (e.g. vlan add range with an error in
the middle, port flags change + vlan update error). This patch sends down
a boolean to the functions setlink/dellink use and if there is even a
single configuration change (port flag, vlan add/del, port state) then
we always send a notification. This is all done to keep backwards
compatibility with the opportunistic vlan delete, where one could
specify a vlan range that has missing vlans inside and still everything
in that range will be cleared, this is mostly used to clear the whole
vlan config with a single call, i.e. range 1-4094.

Before this patch there was no way to tell if the vlan add operation
actually changed anything, thus we would always generate a notification
on adds. Let's make the notifications more precise and generate them
only if anything changed, so use EEXIST error to signal that the vlan
was not updated in any way. We just need to be careful about a few
places that could re-add the same vlan with the same flags not to return
any errors on EEXIST.

Self-NAK
Dave, please ignore this set and apologies for the noise.

I'd actually prefer to send "changed" down to vlan_add and vlan_del
to be set there instead of overloading EEXIST like that. It will be safer.

I'll wait for some comments about the rest of the change and will send
a v2.

Thanks,
 Nik
