Standalone ports should have address learning disabled, according to the documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.14-rc7/networking/dsa/dsa.html#bridge-lay... dsa_switch_ops on 5.10 or earlier does not have .port_bridge_flags function so it has to be done differently.
I've identified an issue related to this.
What issue is that? Where was it reported?
See Florian's message here https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20210317003549.3964522-2-f.fainelli@gmail.com...
- A partial backport of this patch?
The other part does not actually fix anything.
Then why is it not ok to just take the whole thing?
When backporting not-identical-patches, something almost always goes wrong, so we prefer to take the original commit when ever possible.
Okay. MDB and tag ops can be backported as is, and broadcast/multicast flooding can be implemented in .port_egress_floods.
thanks,
