Ahh, that's unfortunate. The patch's assumption is correct that we must not have fdb->dst == NULL
and the dst to be non-local (i.e. without BR_FDB_LOCAL). Since all solutions break user-space in
a different way and since this patch also already broke it by the check for !p && !NUD_PERMANENT
in __br_fdb_add() which was allowed before that, I think the best course of action is to ignore
NUD_PERMANENT in __br_fdb_add() for extern_learn case and always set BR_FDB_LOCAL in br_fdb_external_learn_add()
when !p. That would allow all prior calls to work and would remove the dst==NULL without BR_FDB_LOCAL
issue. Honestly, I doubt anyone is using extern_learn with bridge device entries, but we cannot assume
anything since this is already a part of the uAPI and we must allow it. Basically we silently
fix the BR_FDB_LOCAL problem so old user syntax and code can continue working.
It is a hack, but I don't see another solution which doesn't break user-space in some way.
Handling NUD_PERMANENT only with !p is equivalent, unfortunately we shouldn't keep the error
since that can break someone who was adding such entries without NUD_PERMANENT flag, but
we can force it in kernel, that should make such scripts succeed. Traffic used to be blackholed
for such entries and now it will be received locally, that will be the only difference.
TBH, I want to keep that error so middle ground would be to handle NUD_PERMANENT only
when used with !p and keep it. :) WDYT ?
Solution which forces BR_FDB_LOCAL for !p calls (completely untested):
