There is a structural problem in switchdev, where the flag bits in
struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info (added_by_user, is_local etc) only
represent a simplified / denatured view of what's in struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry :: flags (BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER, BR_FDB_LOCAL etc).
Each time we want to pass more information about struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry :: flags to struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info
(here, BR_FDB_STATIC), we find that FDB entries were already notified to
switchdev with no regard to this flag, and thus, switchdev drivers had
no indication whether the notified entries were static or not.
[...]
Here is the summary with links:
- [v2,net] net: bridge: switchdev: don't notify FDB entries with "master dynamic"

You are awesome, thank you!
