Cuando se utiliza el primero, la VLAN se marca en el controlador del puente con el indicador privado 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'. Para evitar las fugas de memoria mencionadas en la confirmaci\u00f3n citada, el controlador del puente intentar\u00e1 eliminar una VLAN mediante el controlador 8021q si la VLAN no est\u00e1 marcada con el indicador mencionado anteriormente. Cuando cambia el protocolo VLAN del puente, se notifica a los controladores switchdev mediante el atributo 'SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_VLAN_PROTOCOL', pero tambi\u00e9n se llama al controlador 8021q para agregar las VLAN existentes con el nuevo protocolo y eliminarlas con el protocolo anterior. En caso de que las VLAN se descargaran mediante switchdev, el comportamiento anterior es redundante y presenta errores. Redundante porque las VLAN ya est\u00e1n programadas en el hardware y los controladores compatibles con el cambio de protocolo de VLAN (actualmente solo mlx5) cambian el protocolo al recibir la notificaci\u00f3n del atributo switchdev. Presenta errores porque se llama al controlador 8021q a pesar de que estas VLAN est\u00e1n marcadas con 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'. Esto provoca fugas de memoria [1] al eliminar las VLAN. Se soluciona no llamando al controlador 8021q para las VLAN ya programadas mediante switchdev.
