In rS360398, a new iflib device method was added to opt out of VLAN
events needing an interface reset.
I am switching the default to not requiring a restart for:
* VLAN events
* unknown events
After fixing various bugs, I do not think this would be a common need
of hardware and it is undesirable from the user's perspective causing
link flaps and much slower VLAN configuration. Currently, there are no
other restart events besides VLAN events, and setting the
ifdi_needs_restart default to false will alleviate the need to churn
every driver if an odd event is added in the future for specific
hardware.
markj points out this could cause churn in the other direction; I will
solve that problem with an event registration system as he mentions in
the review should we need it in the future.
These drivers will opt into restart and need further inspection or work:
* ixv (needs code audit, 61a8231 fixed principal issue; re-init probably
not necessary)
* axgbe (needs code audit; re-init probably not necessary)
* iavf - (needs code audit; interaction with Malicious Driver Detection
mentioned in rS360398)
* mgb - no VLAN functions are currently implemented. Left a comment.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
