[PATCH net-next 4/5] net: bridge: ensure FDB offloaded flag is handled as needed
Posted by Hans J. Schultz 1 year, 7 months ago
Since user added entries in the bridge FDB will get the BR_FDB_OFFLOADED
flag set, we do not want the bridge to age those entries and we want the
entries to be deleted in the bridge upon an SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE
event.

Looks correct

This also looks correct, but the function name is not really accurate
anymore. I guess you can keep it as-is unless someone has a better name

I have been wondering if it makes sense to have both external_learn and 
offloaded flags as they now work pretty much the same seen from the 
bridge. But as I don't know other switches, I guess there is some good 
reason to have the two?
