When the vlan filtering is enabled on the bridge, but
the filter is not configured on the bridge device itself,
running tcpdump on the bridge device will result in a
an Oops with NULL pointer dereference.  The reason
is that br_pass_frame_up() will bypass the vlan
check because promisc flag is set.  It will then try
to get the table pointer and process the packet based
on the table.  Since the table pointer is NULL, we oops.
Catch this special condition in br_handle_vlan().

Changes since v1:
  - Do not use a BUG or BUG_ON as it is possible to trigger the
    false BUG condition when thrashing the vlan_enable toggle.
    Instead just drop the skb.

Maybe that frame went through should_deliver() while vlan_filtering was
disabled?
I hope it doesn't affect other codes in an adverse way...

Why is this not kfree_skb() but kfree_skb_list()?
I haven't seen kfree_skb_list() in the bridge code.

Thanks,

yes.  That's what happend.

I didn't see any adverse conditions while running the while(1) loop
changing vlan_flitering, but I didn't run it for all that long (about a
minute).

I am working on a series to reduce the possible races that involves
marking the skb (in the cb) and using that marking in later invocations.

I thought it is possible to get a list here, but upon further inspection
I don't see that happening.   I'll change that to kfree_skb().
