How about the below (untested):

The semantics are very clear, IMO. On FDB miss, add a locked FDB entry
and drop the packet. On FDB mismatch, drop the packet.

Entry can roam from an unauthorized port to an authorized port, but not
the other way around. Not sure what is the use case for allowing roaming
between unauthorized ports.

Note that with the above, locked entries are not refreshed and will
therefore age out unless replaced by user space.


Okay I was under the impression that entries should be able to roam freely between authorized and unauthorized ports in the bridge as long as the locked flag is on when roaming to the MAB enabled port. As you know roaming is not a big issue with mv88e6xxx.

As I see this code, an entry cannot roam to an authorized port as there is no update after the port mismatch check and the packet is dropped as it should in this case in the locked section.
