As I am not familiar with roaming in this context, I need to know
how the SW
bridge should behave in this case.

In this case, is the roaming only between locked ports or does the
roaming include that the entry can move to a unlocked port, resulting
in the locked flag getting removed?

Any two ports. If the "locked" entry in mv88e6xxx cannot move once
installed, then the "sticky" flag accurately describes it.

But since I am also doing the SW bridge implementation without 
mv88e6xxx I
need it to function according to needs.
Thus the locked entries created in the bridge I shall not put the 
sticky
flag on, but there will be the situation where a locked entry can move 
to an
unlocked port, which we regarded as a bug.

I do not regard this as a bug. It makes sense to me that an authorized
port can cause an entry pointing to an unauthorized port to roam to
itself. Just like normal learned entries. What I considered as a bug is
the fact that the "locked" flag is not cleared when roaming to an
authorized port.

In that case there is two possibilities, the locked entry can move to
an unlocked port with the locked flag being removed or the locked
entry can only move to another locked port?

My suggestion is to allow roaming and maintain / clear the "locked" 
flag
based on whether the new destination port is locked or not.

Thus I understand it as saying that the "locked" flag can also be set 
when roaming from an unlocked port to a locked port?
