[PATCH v8 net-next 01/12] net: bridge: add locked entry fdb flag to extend locked port feature

Hans J. Schultz
2022-10-18T16:58:54Z

Add an intermediate state for clients behind a locked port to allow for
possible opening of the port for said clients. The clients mac address
will be added with the locked flag set, denying access through the port
for the mac address, but also creating a new FDB add event giving
userspace daemons the ability to unlock the mac address. This feature
corresponds to the Mac-Auth and MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) named
features. The latter defined by Cisco.

Only the kernel can set this FDB entry flag, while userspace can read
the flag and remove it by replacing or deleting the FDB entry.

Locked entries will age out with the set bridge ageing time.
