Yes, that is the interesting question here.... against each other, or themselves? They are called from a notifier chain. It is the same notifier chain for both dsa_switch_mdb_add() and dsa_switch_vlan_add(). notifier_call_chain() itself appears to not provide any guarantees about the same handler being called in parallel. It is dsa_port_notify() which is calling the notifier_call_chain(). This is being called by both dsa_port_vlan_add() and dsa_port_mdb_add() in dsa_slave_port_obj_add(). This is a switchdev op. switchdev_port_obj_add_now() does have ASSERT_RTNL(); So that should serialize everything. Andrew
