The bridge going in promisc will only help if the packets are sent to the CPU in the first place. And it does nothing to ensure that that will happen. So the bridge code works by accident. I also have an additional question, only partially related. Doesn't the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB mechanism conceptually overlap with what we're trying to do here? If there are no objections I would replace it with dev_mc_sync_multiple, to be symmetric with what I'm going to be changing for unicast. Only DSA and cpsw are using SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB anyway, and looks like cpsw is using it wrong. > > > > > > > > > When you are offloading the Linux data path to hardware this behavior is > > > > > not ideal as your hardware can handle much higher packet rates than the > > > > > CPU. > > > > > > > > > > In mlxsw we handle this by tracking the upper devices of the bridge.
