Hi,
Bridge port isolation flag (BR_ISOLATED) was added in commit
7d850abd5f4e. But switchdev does not offload it currently.
It should be easy to implement in drivers, just like bridge offload
but prevent isolated ports to communicate with each other.
Your thoughts?
Regards,
Qingfang

It maps well on Broadcom switches but there was not a known use case
AFAICT that warranted mapping this flag to program the switch hardware
accordingly.

If nothing else, do add BR_ISOLATED to BR_PORT_FLAGS_HW_OFFLOAD so that
switchdev drivers which have an offloaded data plane have a chance to
reject this new bridge port flag if they don't support it yet.
