This would not have been needed if dsa_port_set_state() would have
called dsa_port_fast_age().
Currently it only does that if dp->learning is true. From previous
conversations I get the idea that with MAB, port learning will be
false.
But I don't understand why; isn't MAB CPU-assisted learning? I'm
looking
at the ocelot hardware support for this and I think it could be
implemented using a similar mechanism, but I certainly don't want to
add
more workarounds such as this in other drivers.
Are there any other ways to implement MAB other than through CPU
assisted learning?
We could add one more dp->mab flag which tracks the "mab" brport flag,
and extend dsa_port_set_state() to also call dsa_port_fast_age() in
that
case, but I want to make sure there isn't something extremely obvious
I'm missing about the "learning" flag.
In general locked ports block traffic from a host based on if there is a
FDB entry or not. In the non-offloaded case, there is only CPU assisted
learning, so the normal learning mechanism has to be disabled as any
learned entry will open the port for the learned MAC,vlan.
Thus learning is off for locked ports, which of course includes MAB.
So the 'learning' is based on authorizing MAC,vlan addresses, which
is done by userspace daemons, e.g. hostapd or what could be called
mabd.
