Entonces, aunque los controladores necesitan fallar limpiamente en ds->ops->change_tag_protocol(), DSA seguir\u00e1 llamando a dsa_tree_notify() nuevamente, para restaurar el antiguo protocolo de etiqueta para los conmutadores potenciales en el \u00e1rbol donde el cambio s\u00ed tuvo \u00e9xito (antes de fallar para otros). Esto significa para el controlador felix que si informamos de un error en felix_change_tag_protocol(), recibiremos otra llamada donde proto_ops == old_proto_ops. Si procedemos a actuar en consecuencia, podemos hacer cosas inesperadas. Por ejemplo, llamaremos a dsa_tag_8021q_register() dos veces seguidas, sin ejecutar dsa_tag_8021q_unregister() entre ambas. Luego, llamaremos a dsa_tag_8021q_unregister() mediante old_proto_ops->teardown, lo cual (si logra ejecutarse, tras analizar las estructuras de datos da\u00f1adas) dejar\u00e1 los puertos inoperativos.
