We need to clear all of the bridge private skb variables as they can be
stale due to the packet being recirculated through the stack and then
transmitted through the bridge device. Similar memset is already done on
bridge's input. We've seen cases where proxyarp_replied was 1 on routed
multicast packets transmitted through the bridge to ports with neigh
suppress which were getting dropped. Same thing can in theory happen with
the port isolation bit as well.

What's the performance hit of doing this on every packet?

Can you just set a flag that tells the code to reset on recirculation?
Seems like br_input_skb_cb has space for that.

Virtually non-existent, we had a patch that turned that field into a 16 byte
field so that is really 2 8 byte stores. It is already cache hot, we could
initialize each individual field separately as br_input does.

I don't want to waste flags on such thing, this makes it future-proof 
and I'll remove the individual field zeroing later which will alleviate
the cost further.

Also note that we already do this on input for each packet since the
struct was reduced to 16 bytes. It's the safest way since every different
sub-part of the bridge uses some set of these private variables and
we've had many similar bugs where they were used stale or unintentionally
were not initialized for some path.
