From f2f3729fb65c5c2e6db234e6316b71a7bdc4b30b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 18:30:02 +0300 Subject: net: bridge: fdb: don't flush ext_learn entries When a user-space software manages fdb entries externally it should set the ext_learn flag which marks the fdb entry as externally managed and avoids expiring it (they're treated as static fdbs). Unfortunately on events where fdb entries are flushed (STP down, netlink fdb flush etc) these fdbs are also deleted automatically by the bridge. That in turn causes trouble for the managing user-space software (e.g. in MLAG setups we lose remote fdb entries on port flaps). These entries are completely externally managed so we should avoid automatically deleting them, the only exception are offloaded entries (i.e. BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN + BR_FDB_OFFLOADED). They are flushed as before. Fixes: eb100e0e24a2 ("net: bridge: allow to add externally learned entries from user-space") Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.
