Hi Vlad,

Exactly.
Those are two different things; sometimes their configuration collide,
sometimes not.

Ok.

Yes, that is correct.

However I wouldn't call it "untagged_bitmap".
The name might suggest that "egress untagged" is an anomaly, where
"normal" behavior is egress tagged.
But as said, both are valid, its just a matter of configuration.

You basically need one more bit for each member port, stating
egress tagged/untagged.

Yes, looking forward to review the code.

P.S.
Sorry for late spotting this; I don't follow net-dev regularly.
I hope to take a look at the code soon, see if I have any meaningful
comments.

Regards,
Shmulik
