Are you altering port state only on bridged ports, or also on standalone ports after this patch? Are standalone ports in the proper STP state (FORWARDING)?

Are standalone ports in the proper STP state > (FORWARDING)? The current code only sets FID 0's STP state. This patch sets both 0's and 1's states. The *5 part is binary magic. [1:0] is FID 0's state, [3:2] is FID 1's state and so on. Since 5 == 4'b0101, the value in [1:0] is copied to [3:2] after the multiplication. Perhaps I should only change FID 1's state.

Keep the patches dumb for us mortals please. If you only change FID 1's state, I am concerned that the driver no longer initializes FID 0's port state, and might leave that to the default set by other pre-kernel initialization stage (bootloader?). So even if you might assume that standalone ports are FORWARDING, they might not be.

The default value is forwarding, and the switch is reset by the driver so any pre-kernel initialization stage is no more.

So then change the port STP state only for FID 1 and resend. Any other reason why this patch series is marked RFC? It looked okay to me otherwise.

It looked okay to me otherwise. Okay, will resend with that change and without RFC. By the way, if I were to implement .port_fast_age, should I only flush dynamically learned FDB entries? What about MDB entries?

What about MDB entries? Yes, only dynamically learned entries. That should also answer the question about MDB entries, since a multicast address should never be a source MAC address so they should never be dynamically learned. The bridge should handle the deletion of static entries when needed.
