Re: [PATCH net-next 0/3] Fan out FDB entries pointing towards the bridge to all switchdev member ports

Also in: bridge

Hello:

This series was applied to netdev/net-next.git (refs/heads/master):

The "DSA RX filtering" series has added some important support for
interpreting addresses towards the bridge device as host addresses and
installing them as FDB entries towards the CPU port, but it does not
cover all circumstances and needs further work.

To be precise, the mechanism introduced in that series only works as
long as the ports are fairly static and no port joins or leaves the
bridge once the configuration is done. If any port leaves, host FDB
entries that were installed during runtime (for example the user changes
the MAC address of the bridge device) will be prematurely deleted,
resulting in a broken setup.

Here is the summary with links:
  - [net-next,1/3] net: switchdev: introduce helper for checking dynamically learned FDB entries

  - [net-next,2/3] net: switchdev: introduce a fanout helper for SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD,DEL}_TO_DEVICE

  - [net-next,3/3] net: dsa: use switchdev_handle_fdb_{add,del}_to_device

You are awesome, thank you!
