This series starts by adding support for SA filtering to the bridge, which is then allowed to be offloaded to switchdev devices. Furthermore an offloading implementation is supplied for the mv88e6xxx driver.
Public Local Area Networks are often deployed such that there is a risk of unauthorized or unattended clients getting access to the LAN. To prevent such access we introduce SA filtering, such that ports designated as secure ports are set in locked mode, so that only authorized source MAC addresses are given access by adding them to the bridges forwarding database. Incoming packets with source MAC addresses that are not in the forwarding database of the bridge are discarded. It is then the task of user space daemons to populate the bridge's forwarding database with static entries of authorized entities.
The most common approach is to use the IEEE 802.1X protocol to take care of the authorization of allowed users to gain access by opening for the source address of the authorized host.
With the current use of the bridge parameter in hostapd, there is a limitation in using this for IEEE 802.1X port authentication. It depends on hostapd attaching the port on which it has a successful authentication to the bridge, but that only allows for a single authentication per port. This patch set allows for the use of IEEE 802.1X port authentication in a more general network context with multiple 802.1X aware hosts behind a single port as depicted, which is a commonly used commercial use-case, as it is only the number of available entries in the forwarding database that limits the number of authenticated clients.
+--------------------------------+ | | | Bridge/Authenticator | | | +-------------+------------------+ 802.1X port | | | +------+-------+ | | | Hub/Switch | | | +-+----------+-+ | | +--+--+ +--+--+ | | | | Hosts | a | | b | . . . | | | | +-----+ +-----+
The 802.1X standard involves three different components, a Supplicant (Host), an Authenticator (Network Access Point) and an Authentication Server which is typically a Radius server. This patch set thus enables the bridge module together with an authenticator application to serve as an Authenticator on designated ports.
For the bridge to become an IEEE 802.1X Authenticator, a solution using hostapd with the bridge driver can be found at https://github.com/westermo/hostapd/tree/bridge_driver .
The relevant components work transparently in relation to if it is the bridge module or the offloaded switchcore case that is in use.

In a 802.1X scenario, clients connected to a bridge port shall not be allowed to have traffic forwarded until fully authenticated. A static fdb entry of the clients MAC address for the bridge port unlocks the client and allows bidirectional communication.
This scenario is facilitated with setting the bridge port in locked mode, which is also supported by various switchcore chipsets.
