Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 net-next 12/24] net: bridge: drop context pointer from br_fdb_replay
As opposed to the port objects (mdb, vlan), the FDB entries on a LAG are
a bit special.
While a VLAN installed on a bridge port that is a LAG can reasonably be
modeled from the bridge's perspective as individual VLANs being
installed on all physical ports that are beneath that LAG (and similar
for multicast addresses), the same cannot really be said about a unicast
forwarding destination MAC address.
Actually there is no driver today that makes meaningful use of FDB
entries towards bridge ports that are LAG (bond/team) interfaces, so it
is hard to assume anything. But intuitively, since FDB entries are
usually exclusive to a single destination port, replicating them on all
LAG lowers sounds like a bad idea. Maybe, instead, the switchdev driver
models the LAG as a logical port, and the FDB entries associated with
the LAG target that.
Anyway, do not assume anything and drop the context pointer from the fdb
replay helpers. The context pointer was introduced specifically for the
case where the bridge port is a LAG, beneath which there are multiple
switchdev lowers, all of which must do the same thing when offloading a
given switchdev object, and none of the ports must act on the same
object twice. It appears that in the case of FDB entries it is not
useful: the driver appears to be required to be able to do something
more elaborate even though it is not clear what.
The trouble, really, is that call_switchdev_notifiers() is not able
today to pass the context pointer, but br_fdb_replay calls a hand-coded
version of that function which is. Refactoring call_switchdev_notifiers
does not appear really worth it without at least knowing the requrements,
so drop the functionality with no users for now.
