Instead of having to add more and more arguments to
br_switchdev_fdb_call_notifiers, get rid of it and build the info
struct directly in br_switchdev_fdb_notify.

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

As explained in bugfix commit 6ab4c3117aec ("net: bridge: don't notify
switchdev for local FDB addresses") as well as in this discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210117193009.io3nungdwuzmo5f7@skbuf/

the switchdev notifiers for FDB entries managed to have a zero-day bug,
which was that drivers would not know what to do with local FDB entries,
because they were not told that they are local. The bug fix was to
simply not notify them of those addresses.

Let us now add the 'is_local' bit to bridge FDB entries, and make all
drivers ignore these entries by their own choice.

Hi,
Is there a PATCH 0/2 with overview and explanation of what's happening in this set ?
If there isn't one please add it and explain the motivation and the change.

Thanks,
 Nik

Nope, there isn't. Being a 2-patch series, and having the explanation
already provided in patch 2, I didn't consider a cover letter as
necessary. Change #1 is just preliminary refactoring.

Hi Vladimir

This goes to the question about the missing cover letter. Why should
drivers get to ignore them, rather than the core? It feels like there
should be another patch in the series, where a driver does not
actually ignore them, but does something?

Hi Andrew,

Bridge fdb entries with the is_local flag are entries which are
terminated locally and not forwarded. Switchdev drivers might want to be
notified of these addresses so they can trap them (otherwise, if they
don't program these entries to hardware, there is no guarantee that they
will do the right thing with these entries, and they won't be, let's
say, flooded). Of course, ideally none of the switchdev drivers should
ignore them, but having access to the is_local bit is the bare minimum
change that should be done in the bridge layer, before this is even
possible.

These 2 changes are actually part of a larger group of changes that
together form the "RX filtering for DSA" series. I haven't had a lot of
success with that, so I thought a better approach would be to take it
step by step. DSA will need to be notified of local FDB entries. For
now, it ignores them like everybody else. This is supposed to be a
non-functional patch series because I don't want to spam every switchdev
maintainer with 15+ DSA RX filtering patches.

This is the sort of information which goes into 0/2. It explains the
big picture 'Why' of the change.
