This patch set makes it possible to have synchronized dynamic ATU and FDB entries on locked ports. As locked ports are not able to automatically learn, they depend on userspace added entries, where userspace can add static or dynamic entries. The lifetime of static entries are completely dependent on userspace intervention, and thus not of interest here. We are only concerned with dynamic entries, which can be added with a command like: bridge fdb replace ADDR dev <DEV> master dynamic We choose only to support this feature on locked ports, as it involves utilizing the CPU to handle ATU related switchcore events (typically interrupts) and thus can result in significant performance loss if exposed to heavy traffic. On locked ports it is important for userspace to know when an authorized station has become silent, hence not breaking the communication of a station that has been authorized based on the MAC-Authentication Bypass (MAB) scheme. Thus if the station keeps being active after authorization, it will continue to have an open port as long as it is active. Only after a silent period will it have to be reauthorized. As the ageing process in the ATU is dependent on incoming traffic to the switchcore port, it is necessary for the ATU to signal that an entry has aged out, so that the FDB can be updated at the correct time. This patch set includes a solution for the Marvell mv88e6xxx driver, where for this driver we use the Hold-At-One feature so that an age-out violation interrupt occurs when a station has been silent for the system-set age time. The age out violation interrupt allows the switchcore driver to remove both the ATU and the FDB entry at the same time. It is up to the maintainers of other switchcore drivers to implement the feature for their specific driver. Hans J.
