Multicast entries in the MAC table use the high bits of the MAC
address to encode the ports that should get the packets. But this
port
mask does not work for the CPU port, to receive these packets on
the
CPU port the MAC_CPU_COPY flag must be set.

Because of this IPv6 was effectively not working because neighbor
solicitations were never received. This was not apparent before
commit
9403c158 (net: mscc: ocelot: support IPv4, IPv6 and plain Ethernet
mdb
entries) as the IPv6 entries were broken so all incoming IPv6
multicast was then treated as unknown and flooded on all ports.

To fix this problem add a new `flags` parameter to
ocelot_mact_learn()
and set MAC_CPU_COPY when the CPU port is in the port set. We still
leave the CPU port in the bitfield as it doesn't seems to hurt.

Good catch, it seems that I really did not test that patch with
multicast traffic received on the CPU (and not only that patch, but
ever
since, in fact), shame on me.

What I don't like your patch is how it spills over the entire ocelot
driver, yet still fails to compile. You missed a bunch of
ocelot_mact_learn calls from ocelot_net.c (8 of them, in fact).
I don't know which kernel tree you applied this patch to, but clearly
not "net"/master:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git
My board use felix and I build without CONFIG_MSCC_OCELOT_SWITCH so I
missed these, my bad.

I would prefer to see a more self-contained bug fix, such as
potentially
this one:

It has the advantage of actually compiling, plus it should be easier
to backport because the changes are all in one place.


Please make sure to read:
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
(this will tell you what is wrong with your Fixes: tag)
Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst
(this will tell you what is wrong with this patch's --subject-prefix,
and why the patch does not build on the trees it is supposed to be
applied to):

I must say that this condescending tone is a real turn off.
