Yes, that sounds much like the case. So the replace of course just modifies the SW fdb entry, and then it just uses port_fdb_add() to replace HW entry I assume, which then in my case triggers SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE as the locked entry is removed. So I should not send the SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE message when removing the locked entry from port_fdb_add() function...

I think Hans is testing with mv88e6xxx which dumps entries directly from HW via ndo_fdb_dump(). See dsa_slave_port_fdb_do_dump() which sets NTF_SELF.
Hans, are you seeing the entry twice? Once with 'master' and once with 'self'?
When replacing a locked entry it looks like this:
# bridge fdb show dev eth6 | grep 4c 00:4c:4c:4c:4c:4c vlan 1 master br0 extern_learn offload locked
# bridge fdb replace 00:4c:4c:4c:4c:4c dev eth6 vlan 1 master static ; bridge fdb show dev eth6 | grep 4c 00:4c:4c:4c:4c:4c vlan 1 self static
This output means that the FDB entry was deleted from the bridge driver FDB.
The problem is then that the function br_fdb_find_rcu(br,eth_hdr(skb)->h_source, vid); , where the h_source and vid is the entry above, does not find the entry. My hypothesis was then that this is because of the 'self' flag that I see.
br_fdb_find_rcu() does a lookup in the bridge driver FDB, but per the output above, the entry isn't there for some reason. It's only in HW.
Can it be that you driver is deleting these entries from the bridge driver FDB via SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE for some reason?
I am thinking that the function dsa_slave_port_fdb_do_dump() is only for debug, and thus does not really set any flags in the bridge modules FDB, but then I don't understand why the above find function does not find the entry?
