Details

Could CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP be enabled in Arch kernels? Many older switches don't support MVRP yet, only the older protocol. (As far as I could figure out, GVRP has scalability issues but no technical problems otherwise.)
This task depends upon

Yes! Please add CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP=y to kernel. It's enabled in Debian and they have no problems with that. I need it.

BTW there is already CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MVRP=y enabled, which is similiar, but has not as wide support in switches as GVRP.
Also note that CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP=y will not change default behaviour unless user activates gvrp by "ip link set DEVICE up type vlan gvrp on loose_binding on". So it should not affect users who don't want to use it.

It would be nice if this was enabled not only in linux, but also in linux-zen, linux-lts and linux-hardened
