net: bridge: switchdev: Ensure deferred event delivery on unoffload

When unoffloading a device, it is important to ensure that all
relevant deferred events are delivered to it before it disassociates
itself from the bridge.

Before this change, this was true for the normal case when a device
maps 1:1 to a net_bridge_port, i.e.

br0
/
swp0

When swp0 leaves br0, the call to switchdev_deferred_process() in
del_nbp() makes sure to process any outstanding events while the
device is still associated with the bridge.

In the case when the association is indirect though, i.e. when the
device is attached to the bridge via an intermediate device, like a
LAG...

br0
/
lag0
/
swp0

...then detaching swp0 from lag0 does not cause any net_bridge_port to
be deleted, so there was no guarantee that all events had been
processed before the device disassociated itself from the bridge.

Fix this by always synchronously processing all deferred events before
signaling completion of unoffloading back to the driver.

net: bridge: switchdev: Skip MDB replays of deferred events on offload

Before this change, generation of the list of MDB events to replay
would race against the creation of new group memberships, either from
the IGMP/MLD snooping logic or from user configuration.

While new memberships are immediately visible to walkers of
br->mdb_list, the notification of their existence to switchdev event
subscribers is deferred until a later point in time. So if a replay
list was generated during a time that overlapped with such a window,
it would also contain a replay of the not-yet-delivered event.

The driver would thus receive two copies of what the bridge internally
considered to be one single event. On destruction of the bridge, only
a single membership deletion event was therefore sent. As a
consequence of this, drivers which reference count memberships (at
least DSA), would be left with orphan groups in their hardware
database when the bridge was destroyed.

This is only an issue when replaying additions. While deletion events
may still be pending on the deferred queue, they will already have
been removed from br->mdb_list, so no duplicates can be generated in
that scenario.

To a user this meant that old group memberships, from a bridge in
which a port was previously attached, could be reanimated (in
hardware) when the port joined a new bridge, without the new bridge's
knowledge.

For example, on an mv88e6xxx system, create a snooping bridge and
immediately add a port to it:

root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ ip link add dev br0 up type bridge mcast_snooping 1 && \
> ip link set dev x3 up master br0

And then destroy the bridge:

root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ ip link del dev br0
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ mvls atu
ADDRESS FID STATE Q F 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a
DEV:0 Marvell 88E6393X
33:33:00:00:00:6a 1 static - - 0 . . . . . . . . . .
33:33:ff:87:e4:3f 1 static - - 0 . . . . . . . . . .
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 1 static - - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$

The two IPv6 groups remain in the hardware database because the
port (x3) is notified of the host's membership twice: once via the
original event and once via a replay. Since only a single delete
notification is sent, the count remains at 1 when the bridge is
destroyed.

Then add the same port (or another port belonging to the same hardware
domain) to a new bridge, this time with snooping disabled:

root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ ip link add dev br1 up type bridge mcast_snooping 0 && \
> ip link set dev x3 up master br1

All multicast, including the two IPv6 groups from br0, should now be
flooded, according to the policy of br1. But instead the old
memberships are still active in the hardware database, causing the
switch to only forward traffic to those groups towards the CPU (port
0).

Eliminate the race in two steps:

1. Grab the write-side lock of the MDB while generating the replay
list.

This prevents new memberships from showing up while we are generating
the replay list. But it leaves the scenario in which a deferred event
was already generated, but not delivered, before we grabbed the
lock. Therefore:

2. Make sure that no deferred version of a replay event is already
enqueued to the switchdev deferred queue, before adding it to the
replay list, when replaying additions.

net: switchdev: Add a helper to replay objects on a bridge port

When a front panel joins a bridge via another netdevice (typically a LAG),
the driver needs to learn about the objects configured on the bridge port.
When the bridge port is offloaded by the driver for the first time, this
can be achieved by passing a notifier to switchdev_bridge_port_offload().
The notifier is then invoked for the individual objects (such as VLANs)
configured on the bridge, and can look for the interesting ones.

Calling switchdev_bridge_port_offload() when the second port joins the
bridge lower is unnecessary, but the replay is still needed. To that end,
add a new function, switchdev_bridge_port_replay(), which does only the
replay part of the _offload() function in exactly the same way as that
function.

net: bridge: br_switchdev: Tolerate -EOPNOTSUPP when replaying MDB

There are two kinds of MDB entries to be replayed: port MDB entries, and
host MDB entries. They are both replayed by br_switchdev_mdb_replay(). If
the driver supports one kind, but lacks the other, the first -EOPNOTSUPP
returned terminates the whole replay, including any further still-supported
objects in the list.

For this to cause issues, there must be MDB entries for both the host and
the port being replayed. In that case, if the driver bails out from
handling the host entry, the port entries are never replayed. However, the
replay is currently only done when a switchdev port joins a bridge. There
would be no port memberships at that point. Thus despite being erroneous,
the code does not cause observable bugs.

This is not an issue with other object kinds either, because there, each
function replays one object kind. If a driver does not support that kind,
it makes sense to bail out early. -EOPNOTSUPP is then ignored in
nbp_switchdev_sync_objs().

For MDB, suppress the -EOPNOTSUPP error code in br_switchdev_mdb_replay()
already, so that the whole list gets replayed.

The reason we need this patch is that a future patch will introduce a
replay that should be used when a front-panel port netdevice is enslaved to
a bridge lower, in particular a LAG. The LAG netdevice can already have
both host and port MDB entries. The port entries need to be replayed so
that they are offloaded on the port that joins the LAG.

net: bridge: switchdev: don't notify FDB entries with "master dynamic"

There is a structural problem in switchdev, where the flag bits in
struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info (added_by_user, is_local etc) only
represent a simplified / denatured view of what's in struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry :: flags (BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER, BR_FDB_LOCAL etc).
Each time we want to pass more information about struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry :: flags to struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info
(here, BR_FDB_STATIC), we find that FDB entries were already notified to
switchdev with no regard to this flag, and thus, switchdev drivers had
no indication whether the notified entries were static or not.

For example, this command:

ip link add br0 type bridge && ip link set swp0 master br0
bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master dynamic

has never worked as intended with switchdev. It causes a struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry to be passed to br_switchdev_fdb_notify() which has
a single flag set: BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER.

This is further passed to the switchdev notifier chain, where interested
drivers have no choice but to assume this is a static (does not age) and
sticky (does not migrate) FDB entry. So currently, all drivers offload
it to hardware as such, as can be seen below ("offload" is set).

bridge fdb get 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 master
00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 offload master br0

The software FDB entry expires $ageing_time centiseconds after the
kernel last sees a packet with this MAC SA, and the bridge notifies its
deletion as well, so it eventually disappears from hardware too.

This is a problem, because it is actually desirable to start offloading
"master dynamic" FDB entries correctly - they should expire $ageing_time
centiseconds after the *hardware* port last sees a packet with this
MAC SA - and this is how the current incorrect behavior was discovered.
With an offloaded data plane, it can be expected that software only sees
exception path packets, so an otherwise active dynamic FDB entry would
be aged out by software sooner than it should.

With the change in place, these FDB entries are no longer offloaded:

bridge fdb get 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 master
00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 master br0

and this also constitutes a better way (assuming a backport to stable
kernels) for user space to determine whether the kernel has the
capability of doing something sane with these or not.

As opposed to "master dynamic" FDB entries, on the current behavior of
which no one currently depends on (which can be deduced from the lack of
kselftests), Ido Schimmel explains that entries with the "extern_learn"
flag (BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN) should still be notified to switchdev,
since the spectrum driver listens to them (and this is kind of okay,
because although they are treated identically to "static", they are
expected to not age, and to roam).

bridge: switchdev: Allow device drivers to install locked FDB entries

When the bridge is offloaded to hardware, FDB entries are learned and
aged-out by the hardware. Some device drivers synchronize the hardware
and software FDBs by generating switchdev events towards the bridge.

When a port is locked, the hardware must not learn autonomously, as
otherwise any host will blindly gain authorization. Instead, the
hardware should generate events regarding hosts that are trying to gain
authorization and their MAC addresses should be notified by the device
driver as locked FDB entries towards the bridge driver.

Allow device drivers to notify the bridge driver about such entries by
extending the 'switchdev_notifier_fdb_info' structure with the 'locked'
bit. The bit can only be set by device drivers and not by the bridge
driver.

Prevent a locked entry from being installed if MAB is not enabled on the
bridge port.

If an entry already exists in the bridge driver, reject the locked entry
if the current entry does not have the "locked" flag set or if it points
to a different port. The same semantics are implemented in the software
data path.

net: bridge: switchdev: replay all VLAN groups

The major user of replayed switchdev objects is DSA, and so far it
hasn't needed information about anything other than bridge port VLANs,
so this is all that br_switchdev_vlan_replay() knows to handle.

DSA has managed to get by through replicating every VLAN addition on a
user port such that the same VLAN is also added on all DSA and CPU
ports, but there is a corner case where this does not work.

The mv88e6xxx DSA driver currently prints this error message as soon as
the first port of a switch joins a bridge:

mv88e6085 0x0000000008b96000:00: port 0 failed to add a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 to fdb: -95

where a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 is a local FDB entry corresponding to the
bridge MAC address in the default_pvid.

The -EOPNOTSUPP is returned by mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge() because it
tries to map VID 1 to a FID (the ATU is indexed by FID not VID), but
fails to do so. This is because ->port_fdb_add() is called before
->port_vlan_add() for VID 1.

The abridged timeline of the calls is:

br_add_if
-> netdev_master_upper_dev_link
-> dsa_port_bridge_join
-> switchdev_bridge_port_offload
-> br_switchdev_vlan_replay (*)
-> br_switchdev_fdb_replay
-> mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add
-> nbp_vlan_init
-> nbp_vlan_add
-> mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add

and the issue is that at the time of (*), the bridge port isn't in VID 1
(nbp_vlan_init hasn't been called), therefore br_switchdev_vlan_replay()
won't have anything to replay, therefore VID 1 won't be in the VTU by
the time mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add() is called.

This happens only when the first port of a switch joins. For further
ports, the initial mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add() is sufficient for VID 1 to
be loaded in the VTU (which is switch-wide, not per port).

The problem is somewhat unique to mv88e6xxx by chance, because most
other drivers offload an FDB entry by VID, so FDBs and VLANs can be
added asynchronously with respect to each other, but addressing the
issue at the bridge layer makes sense, since what mv88e6xxx requires
isn't absurd.

To fix this problem, we need to recognize that it isn't the VLAN group
of the port that we're interested in, but the VLAN group of the bridge
itself (so it isn't a timing issue, but rather insufficient information
being passed from switchdev to drivers).

As mentioned, currently nbp_switchdev_sync_objs() only calls
br_switchdev_vlan_replay() for VLANs corresponding to the port, but the
VLANs corresponding to the bridge itself, for local termination, also
need to be replayed. In this case, VID 1 is not (yet) present in the
port's VLAN group but is present in the bridge's VLAN group.

So to fix this bug, DSA is now obligated to explicitly handle VLANs
pointing towards the bridge in order to "close this race" (which isn't
really a race). As Tobias Waldekranz notices, this also implies that it
must explicitly handle port VLANs on foreign interfaces, something that
worked implicitly before:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/[email protected]/#24735260

So in the end, br_switchdev_vlan_replay() must replay all VLANs from all
VLAN groups: all the ports, and the bridge itself.

net: bridge: create a common function for populating switchdev FDB entries

There are two places where a switchdev FDB entry is constructed, one is
br_switchdev_fdb_notify() and the other is br_fdb_replay(). One uses a
struct initializer, and the other declares the structure as
uninitialized and populates the elements one by one.

One problem when introducing new members of struct
switchdev_notifier_fdb_info is that there is a risk for one of these
functions to run with an uninitialized value.

So centralize the logic of populating such structure into a dedicated
function. Being the primary location where these structures are created,
using an uninitialized variable and populating the members one by one
should be fine, since this one function is supposed to assign values to
all its members.

As opposed to br_mdb_replay and br_vlan_replay which might be turned off

always on. So moving br_mdb_replay and br_vlan_replay inside
br_switchdev.c would mean adding some #ifdef's in br_switchdev.c, so we
keep those where they are.

The reason for the movement is that in future changes there will be some

With the introduction of explicit offloading API in switchdev in commit

net: make switchdev_bridge_port_{,unoffload} loosely coupled with the bridge

With the introduction of explicit offloading API in switchdev in commit
2f5dc00f7a3e ("net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform which bridge
ports are offloaded"), we started having Ethernet switch drivers calling
directly into a function exported by net/bridge/br_switchdev.c, which is
a function exported by the bridge driver.

This means that drivers that did not have an explicit dependency on the
bridge before, like cpsw and am65-cpsw, now do - otherwise it is not
possible to call a symbol exported by a driver that can be built as
module unless you are a module too.

There was an attempt to solve the dependency issue in the form of commit
b0e81817629a ("net: build all switchdev drivers as modules when the
bridge is a module"). Grygorii Strashko, however, says about it:

| In my opinion, the problem is a bit bigger here than just fixing the
| build :(
|
| In case, of ^cpsw the switchdev mode is kinda optional and in many
| cases (especially for testing purposes, NFS) the multi-mac mode is
| still preferable mode.
|
| There were no such tight dependency between switchdev drivers and
| bridge core before and switchdev serviced as independent, notification
| based layer between them, so ^cpsw still can be "Y" and bridge can be
| "M". Now for mostly every kernel build configuration the CONFIG_BRIDGE
| will need to be set as "Y", or we will have to update drivers to
| support build with BRIDGE=n and maintain separate builds for
| networking vs non-networking testing. But is this enough? Wouldn't
| it cause 'chain reaction' required to add more and more "Y" options
| (like CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q)?
|
| PS. Just to be sure we on the same page - ARM builds will be forced
| (with this patch) to have CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV=m and so all our
| automation testing will just fail with omap2plus_defconfig.

In the light of this, it would be desirable for some configurations to
avoid dependencies between switchdev drivers and the bridge, and have
the switchdev mode as completely optional within the driver.

Arnd Bergmann also tried to write a patch which better expressed the
build time dependency for Ethernet switch drivers where the switchdev
support is optional, like cpsw/am65-cpsw, and this made the drivers
follow the bridge (compile as module if the bridge is a module) only if
the optional switchdev support in the driver was enabled in the first
place:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/[email protected]/

but this still did not solve the fact that cpsw and am65-cpsw now must
be built as modules when the bridge is a module - it just expressed
correctly that optional dependency. But the new behavior is an apparent
regression from Grygorii's perspective.

So to support the use case where the Ethernet driver is built-in,
NET_SWITCHDEV (a bool option) is enabled, and the bridge is a module, we
need a framework that can handle the possible absence of the bridge from
the running system, i.e. runtime bloatware as opposed to build-time
bloatware.

Luckily we already have this framework, since switchdev has been using
it extensively. Events from the bridge side are transmitted to the
driver side using notifier chains - this was originally done so that
unrelated drivers could snoop for events emitted by the bridge towards
ports that are implemented by other drivers (think of a switch driver
with LAG offload that listens for switchdev events on a bonding/team
interface that it offloads).

There are also events which are transmitted from the driver side to the
bridge side, which again are modeled using notifiers.
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is an example of this, and deals with
notifying the bridge that a MAC address has been dynamically learned.
So there is a precedent we can use for modeling the new framework.

The difference compared to SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is that the work
that the bridge needs to do when a port becomes offloaded is blocking in
its nature: replay VLANs, MDBs etc. The calling context is indeed
blocking (we are under rtnl_mutex), but the existing switchdev
notification chain that the bridge is subscribed to is only the atomic
one. So we need to subscribe the bridge to the blocking switchdev
notification chain too.

This patch:
- keeps the driver-side perception of the switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload
unchanged
- moves the implementation of switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload from
the bridge module into the switchdev module.
- makes everybody that is subscribed to the switchdev blocking notifier
chain "hear" offload & unoffload events
- makes the bridge driver subscribe and handle those events
- moves the bridge driver's handling of those events into 2 new
functions called br_switchdev_port_{,un}offload. These functions
contain in fact the core of the logic that was previously in
switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload, just that now we go through an
extra indirection layer to reach them.

Unlike all the other switchdev notification structures, the structure
used to carry the bridge port information, struct
switchdev_notifier_brport_info, does not contain a "bool handled".
This is because in the current usage pattern, we always know that a
switchdev bridge port offloading event will be handled by the bridge,
because the switchdev_bridge_port_offload() call was initiated by a
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event in the first place, where info->upper_dev is a
bridge. So if the bridge wasn't loaded, then the CHANGEUPPER event
couldn't have happened.

net: bridge: switchdev: fix incorrect use of FDB flags when picking the dst device

Nikolay points out that it is incorrect to assume that it is impossible
to have an fdb entry with fdb->dst == NULL and the BR_FDB_LOCAL bit in
fdb->flags not set. This is because there are reader-side places that
test_bit(BR_FDB_LOCAL, &fdb->flags) without the br->hash_lock, and if
the updating of the FDB entry happens on another CPU, there are no
memory barriers at writer or reader side which would ensure that the
reader sees the updates to both fdb->flags and fdb->dst in the same
order, i.e. the reader will not see an inconsistent FDB entry.

So we must be prepared to deal with FDB entries where fdb->dst and
fdb->flags are in a potentially inconsistent state, and that means that
fdb->dst == NULL should remain a condition to pick the net_device that
we report to switchdev as being the bridge device, which is what the
code did prior to the blamed patch.

Currently the following script:

1. ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 && ip link set br0 up
2. ip link set

net: bridge: switchdev: treat local FDBs the same as entries towards the bridge

Currently the following script:

1. ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 && ip link set br0 up
2. ip link set swp2 up && ip link set swp2 master br0
3. ip link set swp3 up && ip link set swp3 master br0
4. ip link set swp4 up && ip link set swp4 master br0
5. bridge vlan del dev swp2 vid 1
6. bridge vlan del dev swp3 vid 1
7. ip link set swp4 nomaster
8. ip link set swp3 nomaster

produces the following output:

[ 641.010738] sja1105 spi0.1: port 2 failed to delete 00:1f:7b:63:02:48 vid 1 from fdb: -2

[ swp2, swp3 and br0 all have the same MAC address, the one listed above ]

In short, this happens because the number of FDB entry additions
notified to switchdev is unbalanced with the number of deletions.

At step 1, the bridge has a random MAC address. At step 2, the
br_fdb_replay of swp2 receives this initial MAC address. Then the bridge
inherits the MAC address of swp2 via br_fdb_change_mac_address(), and it
notifies switchdev (only swp2 at this point) of the deletion of the
random MAC address and the addition of 00:1f:7b:63:02:48 as a local FDB
entry with fdb->dst == swp2, in VLANs 0 and the default_pvid (1).

During step 7:

del_nbp
-> br_fdb_delete_by_port(br, p, vid=0, do_all=1);
-> fdb_delete_local(br, p, f);

br_fdb_delete_by_port() deletes all entries towards the ports,
regardless of vid, because do_all is 1.

fdb_delete_local() has logic to migrate local FDB entries deleted from
one port to another port which shares the same MAC address and is in the
same VLAN, or to the bridge device itself. This migration happens
without notifying switchdev of the deletion on the old port and the
addition on the new one, just fdb->dst is changed and the added_by_user
flag is cleared.

In the example above, the del_nbp(swp4) causes the
"addr 00:1f:7b:63:02:48 vid 1" local FDB entry with fdb->dst == swp4
that existed up until then to be migrated directly towards the bridge
(fdb->dst == NULL). This is because it cannot be migrated to any of the
other ports (swp2 and swp3 are not in VLAN 1).

After the migration to br0 takes place, swp4 requests a deletion replay
of all FDB entries. Since the "addr 00:1f:7b:63:02:48 vid 1" entry now
point towards the bridge, a deletion of it is replayed. There was just
a prior addition of this address, so the switchdev driver deletes this
entry.

Then, the del_nbp(swp3) at step 8 triggers another br_fdb_replay, and
switchdev is notified again to delete "addr 00:1f:7b:63:02:48 vid 1".
But it can't because it no longer has it, so it returns -ENOENT.

There are other possibilities to trigger this issue, but this is by far
the simplest to explain.

To fix this, we must avoid the situation where the addition of an FDB
entry is notified to switchdev as a local entry on a port, and the
deletion is notified on the bridge itself.

Considering that the 2 types of FDB entries are completely equivalent
and we cannot have the same MAC address as a local entry on 2 bridge
ports, or on a bridge port and pointing towards the bridge at the same
time, it makes sense to hide away from switchdev completely the fact
that a local FDB entry is associated with a given bridge port at all.
Just say that it points towards the bridge, it should make no difference
whatsoever to the switchdev driver and should even lead to a simpler
overall implementation, will less cases to handle.

This also avoids any modification at all to the core bridge driver, just
what is reported to switchdev changes. With the local/permanent entries
on bridge ports being already reported to user space, it is hard to
believe that the bridge behavior can change in any backwards-incompatible
way such as making all local FDB entries point towards the bridge.

entries pointing towards that port or towards the bridge.

However, this

net: bridge: switchdev: replay the entire FDB for each port

Currently when a switchdev port joins a bridge, we replay all FDB
entries pointing towards that port or towards the bridge.

However, this is insufficient in certain situations:

(a) DSA, through its assisted_learning_on_cpu_port logic, snoops
dynamically learned FDB entries on foreign interfaces.
These are FDB entries that are pointing neither towards the newly
joined switchdev port, nor towards the bridge. So these addresses
would be missed when joining a bridge where a foreign interface has
already learned some addresses, and they would also linger on if the
DSA port leaves the bridge before the foreign interface forgets them.
None of this happens if we replay the entire FDB when the port joins.

(b) There is a desire to treat local FDB entries on a port (i.e. the
port's termination MAC address) identically to FDB entries pointing
towards the bridge itself. More details on the reason behind this in
the next patch. The point is that this cannot be done given the
current structure of br_fdb_replay() in this situation:
ip link set swp0 master br0 # br0 inherits its MAC address from swp0
ip link set swp1 master br0
What is desirable is that when swp1 joins the bridge, br_fdb_replay()
also notifies swp1 of br0's MAC address, but this won't in fact
happen because the MAC address of br0 does not have fdb->dst == NULL
(it doesn't point towards the bridge), but it has fdb->dst == swp0.
So our current logic makes it impossible for that address to be
replayed. But if we dump the entire FDB instead of just the entries
with fdb->dst == swp1 and fdb->dst == NULL, then the inherited MAC
address of br0 will be replayed too, which is what we need.

A natural question arises: say there is an FDB entry to be replayed,
like a MAC address dynamically learned on a foreign interface that
belongs to a bridge where no switchdev port has joined yet. If 10
switchdev ports belonging to the same driver join this bridge, one by
one, won't every port get notified 10 times of the foreign FDB entry,
amounting to a total of 100 notifications for this FDB entry in the
switchdev driver?

Well, yes, but this is where the "void *ctx" argument for br_fdb_replay
is useful: every port of the switchdev driver is notified whenever any
other port requests an FDB replay, but because the replay was initiated
by a different port, its context is different from the initiating port's
context, so it ignores those replays.

So the foreign FDB entry will be installed only 10 times, once per port.
This is done so that the following 4 code paths are always well balanced:
(a) addition of foreign FDB entry is replayed when port joins bridge
(b) deletion of foreign FDB entry is replayed when port leaves bridge
(c) addition of foreign FDB entry is notified to all ports currently in bridge
(c) deletion of foreign FDB entry is notified to all ports currently in bridge
