Add an intermediate state for clients behind a locked port to allow for

Hmm, can you use NDA_FLAGS_EXT instead ?
That should simplify things and reduce the nl size.


I am using NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS. NFEA_LOCKED is just the
flag as the other flags section is full wrt the normal flags, but maybe it
doesn't fit in that section?


Actually wait a second, this is completely wrong use of NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS.
That is a nested attribute, so the code below is wrong. More below..

I will just note that iproute2 support for parsing nested attributes
does not work, thus the BR_FDB_NOTIFY section (lines 150-165) are
obsolete with respect to iproute2 as it is now. I cannot rule out that
someone has some other tool that can handle this BR_FDB_NOTIFY, but I
could not make iproute2 as it stands handle nested attributes. And of
course there is no handling of NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS in iproute2 now.

This is wrong. NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS is a nested attribute, you can't use it as a u8.
You need to have this structure:
[ NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS ]
` [ NFEA_LOCKED ]

But that's why I asked if you could use the NDA_FLAGS_EXT attribute. You can see
the logic from the neigh code.

Also note that you need to account for the new attribute's size in fdb_nlmsg_size().


ci.ndm_used = jiffies_to_clock_t(now - fdb->used);
ci.ndm_confirmed = 0;
ci.ndm_updated = jiffies_to_clock_t(now - fdb->updated);
