I agree this side affect is a defect, thanks for spotting.
Above approach would work, but also I think it was good approach to return
success (0) when no change at all requested, we are loosing it here.
What do you think,
- Update a local 'dev_offloads' variable, instead of directly updating the
device config data
- if no change requested, "mask == 0", return success
- if change requested, check the 'vlan_offload_set' dev_ops in this stage
- assign the local 'dev_offloads' to 'dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.offloads' and
call the dev_ops
- On error recover the 'dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.offloads' to 'orig_offloads'
This way both side affect can be prevented and API returns success if no change
requested.
