Add an intermediate state for clients behind a locked port to allow for
possible opening of the port for said clients. The clients mac address
will be added with the locked flag set, denying access through the port
for the mac address, but also creating a new FDB add event giving
userspace daemons the ability to unlock the mac address. This feature
corresponds to the Mac-Auth and MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) named
features. The latter defined by Cisco.

As locked FDB entries are a security measure to deny access for
unauthorized hosts on specific ports, they will deny forwarding from
any port to the (MAC, vlan) pair involved and locked entries will not
be able by learning or otherwise to change the associated port.

Only the kernel can set this FDB entry flag, while userspace can read
the flag and remove it by replacing or deleting the FDB entry.

Locked entries will age out with the set bridge ageing time.

Also add a 'blackhole' fdb flag, ensuring that no forwarding from any
port to a destination MAC that has a FDB entry with this flag on will
occur. The packets will thus be dropped.

Hi,
Please add the blackhole flag in a separate patch.
A few more comments and questions below..

Okay, shall do. :-)

combine this and the above as one "if" block, no need to have a new one here
which preferrably starts with the MAB check

As the above if is an "or", and the MAB check works as an "and", it will have to be replicated for all "or" checks, thus twice in the above if.
The first check in the above "or" is for new entries, while the second part of the "or" is to allow roaming to a locked port.

Not happy about adding a new test in arguably the most used fast-path,
but I don't see
a better way to do blackhole right now. Could you please make it an unlikely() ?

Surely.

I guess the blackhole flag will be allowed for user-space to set at
some point, why
not do it from the start?

I guess it should be so. :-)

Actually adding a BR_FDB_LOCAL and BR_FDB_BLACKHOLE would be a conflict above -
the packet will be received. So you should move the blackhole check above the
BR_FDB_LOCAL one if user-space is allowed to set it to any entry.
