Sure, that approach sounds very interesting, but my point was that bypassing the ingress
and egress logic defeats most of the bridge features. You just get an fdb hash table which
you can build today with ebpf without any changes to the kernel. :) You have multiple states,
flags and options for each port and each vlan which can change dynamically based on external
events (e.g. STP, config changes etc) and they can affect forwarding even if the fdbs remain
in the table.
One (untested, potential) way is to speedup full flows that have successfully passed from ingress to
egress for some period of time and flush them based on related events that might have affected
them, but that is very different. Another way would be to replicate some of that logic in ebpf
which would hit performance, and would probably also require more helpers. It would be interesting
to see how this problem would be solved.

Oh, my bad. I obviously should've looked at the bpf tree. :)
