Otherwise this is as correct as can be without implementing TX forwarding offload for the bridge (which you've explained why it doesn't map 1:1 with what your hw can do). But just because a port is under a bridge doesn't mean that the only packets it sends belong to that bridge. Think AF_PACKET sockets, PTP etc. The bridge also has a no_linklocal_learn option that maybe should be taken into consideration for drivers that can do something meaningful about it. Anyway, food for thought.
Considering that you also have the option of setting ds->assisted_learning_on_cpu_port = true and this will have less false positives, what are the reasons why you did not choose that approach? _______________________________________________ Linux-mediatek mailing list Linux-mediatek@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mediatek
