Subject: [patch net-next 0/7] mlxsw: Offload FDB learning configuration

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...lanox.com>

Ido says:
This patchset addresses two long standing issues in the mlxsw driver
concerning FDB learning.

Patch 1 limits the number of FDB records processed by the driver in a
single session. This is useful in situations in which many new records
need to be processed, thereby causing the RTNL mutex to be held for
long periods of time.

Patches 2-6 offload the learning configuration (on / off) of bridge
ports to the device instead of having the driver decide whether a
record needs to be learned or not.

The last patch is fallout and removes configuration no longer necessary
after the first patches are applied.

Ido Schimmel (7):
  mlxsw: spectrum: Limit number of FDB records per learning session
  mlxsw: spectrum: Make VLAN deletion function symmetric
  mlxsw: spectrum: Don't abort on first error when removing VLANs
  mlxsw: spectrum: Configure learning for VLAN-aware bridge port
  mlxsw: spectrum: Offload learning to the switch ASIC
  mlxsw: spectrum: Remove unnecessary check in FDB processing
  mlxsw: spectrum: Don't set learning when creating vPorts
