[PATCH net-next] bridge: skip fdb add if the port shouldn't learn

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wilson Kok <wkok@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Check in fdb_add_entry() if the source port should learn, similar
check is used in br_fdb_update.
Note that new fdb entries which are added manually or
as local ones are still permitted.
This patch has been tested by running traffic via a bridge port and
switching the port's state, also by manually adding/removing entries
from the bridge's fdb.

Nik: Maybe it'd be better if we returned an error even though it
     doesn't look necessary. I'm open to suggestions.
