When we join a bridge that already has some local addresses pointing to itself, we do not get those notifications. Similarly, when we leave that bridge, we do not get notifications for the deletion of those entries. The only switchdev notifications we get are those of entries added while the DSA port is enslaved to the bridge. This makes use cases such as the following work properly (with the number of additions and removals properly balanced): ip link add br0 type bridge ip link add br1 type bridge ip link set br0 address 00:01:02:03:04:05 ip link set br1 address 00:01:02:03:04:05 ip link set swp0 up ip link set swp1 up ip link set swp0 master br0 ip link set swp1 master br1 ip link set br0 up ip link set br1 up ip link del br1 # 00:01:02:03:04:05 still installed on the CPU port ip link del br0 # 00:01:02:03:04:05 finally removed from the CPU port Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
