The unbalance of master's promiscuity or allmulti will happen after ifdown
and ifup a slave interface which is in a bridge.

When we ifdown a slave interface , both the 'dsa_slave_close' and
'dsa_slave_change_rx_flags' will clear the master's flags. The flags
of master will be decrease twice.
In the other hand, if we ifup the slave interface again, since the
slave's flags were cleared the 'dsa_slave_open' won't set the master's
flag, only 'dsa_slave_change_rx_flags' that triggered by 'br_add_if'
will set the master's flags. The flags of master is increase once.

Only propagating flag changes when a slave interface is up makes
sure this does not happen. The 'vlan_dev_change_rx_flags' had the
same problem and was fixed, and changes here follows that fix.

VLAN code under net/8021q/vlan_dev.c::vlan_dev_change_rx_flags() appears
to do the same thing that you are proposing, so this looks fine to me.
Since that is a bugfix, we should probably add:

Fixes: 91da11f870f0 ("net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol
support")

Hi Rundong, Florian

I've seen issues with tcpdump causing the promiscuous count to go
negative. I wounder if this will fix that at well?

Hi Andrew

Sorry for the previous mails due to my error mail format setting on browser.

I have reproduced the tcpdump issue in my env, but not sure if it is the
same issue as you mentioned.
Ifdown a slave interface which is under tcpdump capturing will also decrease
the master's promiscuous twice.

So when I do:
a) tcpdump -i ethx
b) ifdown ethx
c) ifup ethx
d) goto a
for several times the promiscuous count of master will go negative.

Applied with Fixes tag added, and queued up for -stable.

Thanks.
