For each VLAN the kernel needs to go over the Right, that's what I was expecting. :-) > entire FDB and delete affected entries.

Indeed, we already have that issue also with expire which goes over all entries. I have rough patches that improve the situation from way back, will have to go over and polish them to submit when I got more time. Long ago I've tested it with expiring 10 million entries but on a rather powerful CPU. > > To reproduce I added mdelay(100) in br_fdb_delete_by_port() and ran > this: > > ip link add name br10 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 > ip link add name dummy10 up type dummy > ip link set dev dummy10 master br10 > bridge vlan add vid 1-4094 dev dummy10 master > bridge vlan del vid 1-4094 dev dummy10 master > > Got a similar trace to Stefan's.

Otherwise looks good to me, thanks!
