Previously, such a notification was indistinguishable +from a local address notification. Include a local bit in the +notification so that the two classes can be discriminated. + +This allows DSA-like devices to add local addresses to the hardware +FDB (with the CPU as the destination), thereby avoiding flows towards +the CPU being flooded by the switch as unknown unicast. + +Signed-off-by: Tobias Waldekranz <tobias@waldekranz.com> +--- + include/net/switchdev.h | 1 + + net/bridge/br_switchdev.c | 1 + + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+) + +--- a/include/net/switchdev.h ++++ b/include/net/switchdev.h +@@ -124,6 +124,7 @@ struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info { + const unsigned char *addr; + u16 vid; + u8 added_by_user:1, ++ local:1, + offloaded:1; + }; + +--- a/net/bridge/br_switchdev.c ++++ b/net/bridge/br_switchdev.c +@@ -109,6 +109,7 @@ br_switchdev_fdb_notify(const struct net + .addr = fdb->key.addr.addr, + .vid = fdb->key.vlan_id, + .added_by_user = fdb->added_by_user, ++ .local = fdb->is_local, + .offloaded = fdb->offloaded, + }; + |
