2017-06-08	net: bridge: Add support for notifying devices about FDB add/del	Arkadi Sharshevsky
	Currently the bridge doesn't notify the underlying devices about new FDBs learned. The FDB sync is placed on the switchdev notifier chain because devices may potentially learn FDB that are not directly related to their ports, for example: 1. Mixed SW/HW bridge - FDBs that point to the ASICs external devices should be offloaded as CPU traps in order to perform forwarding in slow path. 2. EVPN - Externally learned FDBs for the vtep device. Notification is sent only about static FDB add/del. This is done due to fact that currently this is the only scenario supported by switch drivers.

2017-06-08	net: bridge: Add support for offloading port attributes	Arkadi Sharshevsky
	Currently the flood, learning and learning_sync port attributes are offloaded by setting the SELF flag. Add support for offloading the flood and learning attribute through the bridge code. In case of setting an unsupported flag on a offloded port the operation will fail. The learning_sync attribute doesn't have any software representation and cannot be offloaded through the bridge code.

2016-08-26	bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices	Ido Schimmel
	switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be flooded twice. It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch. This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account, such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which is impossible. The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports, which are not necessarily port netdevs. Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e. having the same parent ID). Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.
