      net: dsa: centralize fast ageing when address learning is turned off · 045c45d1
      Vladimir Oltean 提交于
      Currently DSA leaves it down to device drivers to fast age the FDB on a
      port when address learning is disabled on it. There are 2 reasons for
      doing that in the first place:
      
      - when address learning is disabled by user space, through
        IFLA_BRPORT_LEARNING or the brport_attr_learning sysfs, what user
        space typically wants to achieve is to operate in a mode with no
        dynamic FDB entry on that port. But if the port is already up, some
        addresses might have been already learned on it, and it seems silly to
        wait for 5 minutes for them to expire until something useful can be
        done.
      
      - when a port leaves a bridge and becomes standalone, DSA turns off
        address learning on it. This also has the nice side effect of flushing
        the dynamically learned bridge FDB entries on it, which is a good idea
        because standalone ports should not have bridge FDB entries on them.
      
      We let drivers manage fast ageing under this condition because if DSA
      were to do it, it would need to track each port's learning state, and
      act upon the transition, which it currently doesn't.
      
      But there are 2 reasons why doing it is better after all:
      
      - drivers might get it wrong and not do it (see b53_port_set_learning)
      
      - we would like to flush the dynamic entries from the software bridge
        too, and letting drivers do that would be another pain point
      
      So track the port learning state and trigger a fast age process
      automatically within DSA.
