Description csg 1999-12-06 00:50:01 UTC
sys/net/if_vlan.c contains support for ethernet hardware that
support tagged VLANs in hardware.  Currently (AFAIK) only the "ti"
driver written by Bill Paul has support for these features.

Apparently, when the ethernet driver detects a tagged frame from the
hardware, it passes the frame, along with the tag to vlan_input_tag()
instead of the normal vlan_input() call from inside ether_input().

The problem arrises in an attempt to log errors on the parent device.
vlan_input_tag() walks the list of vlan devices, looking for a matching
and tries to log the error on the parent device if appropriately.

Unfortunatly, the current code incorrectly assumes that all vlans
are configured, and/or associated with a parent device.  If you 
receive a frame for a VLAN that's not in the list, you walk off
the end of the list.  Boom.

Fix: This patch modifies vlan_input_tag to return -1 in the event of an
error so the parent device can maintain its counters for us.

How-To-Repeat: 
1. Setup a host with multiple VLAN's on an 802.1Q trunk to the machine,
   with a ti0 ethernet interface.

2. Configure some but not all of the vlan interfaces:

   # ifconfig <parent-device> up
   # ifconfig vlan0 vlandev <parent-device> vlan <tag-number 1>
   # ifconfig vlan1 vlandev <parent-device> vlan <tag-number 2>
 
3. Wait for traffic on an as-of-yet unconfigured vlan number.

4. Watch your machine crashdump..

I incorrectly removed the check for reporting an error condition
if the vlan interface wasn't IFF_UP.  Here's a corrected patch:
