So I cannot us the offloaded flag as it is added by DSA in the common case when using 'bridge fdb replace ... dynamic'. The idea is then to use the ext_learn flag instead, which is not aged by the bridge. To do this the driver (mv88e6xxx) will send a SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE switchdev event when the new dynamic flag is true. The function sending this event will then be named mv88e6xxx_add_fdb_synth_learned() in drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/switchdev.c,...

Link to patch? I don't see any SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE call in either the v1:

...t sure I would), I would consider extending struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info with a "bool pls_dont_age_out", and I would make dsa_fdb_offload_notify() set this to true if the driver did actually install the dynamic FDB entry as dynamic in the ATU. > > The idea is then to use the ext_learn flag instead, which is not aged by > the bridge.
