Re: [PATCH RFC 1/2] net: dsa: integrate with SWITCHDEV for HW bridging

flat view

I currently use ATU command 110 (flush all non-static entries in a
particular FID). I see means to flush either all entries or all
non-static entries, but no means to only flush unicast or multicast
entries. Does any of the standards distinguish between learned unicast
and multicast addresses ? Flushing those selectively might be a
challenge.
You might need to walk the table and flush records individually if you
are only interested in one type.

We should also consider do we need to make these flush operations
atomic with respect to other operations? Do we need to disable
learning, flush, change the port STP status, and then enable learning?
