I'm only pointing out the obvious here, we need an opt in for MAB, and the implemented behavior I've seen here kind of points to mapping this to "+learning +locked", where the learning process creates locked FDB entries.
I can go with the reasoning for the opt in for MAB, but disabling link local learning system wide I don't think is a good idea, unless someone can ensure me that it does not impact something else. In general locked ports should never learn from link local, which is a problem if they do, which suggests to me that this patch should eventually be accepted as the best solution.
Hi Vladimir, sorry, I forget myself. We cannot use +learning as an opt in for MAB with this driver, as there will be no HW refresh and other interrupts like the age out violation will not occur either, which will be needed further on. If we really need an opt in for MAB, I think it will have to be a new flag. Hans
