Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

When commit df1c0b84 ("[BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.") introduced the port state tests in br_fdb_update() it was to avoid learning/refreshing from STP BPDUs, it was also used to avoid learning/refreshing from user-space with NTF_USE. Those two tests are done for every packet entering the bridge if it's learning, but for the fast-path we already have them checked in br_handle_frame() and is unnecessary to do it again. Thus push the checks to the unlikely cases and drop them from br_fdb_update(), the new nbp_state_should_learn() helper is used to determine if the port state allows br_fdb_update() to be called. The two places which need to do it manually are: - user-space add call with NTF_USE set - link-local packet learning done in __br_handle_local_finish() Signed-off-by:Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by:
