It is currently impossible to delete individual FDB entries (as opposed
to flushing) that were added with a VLAN that no longer exists:
# ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
# ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# ip link set dev dummy1 master br1
# bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 master static vlan 1
# bridge vlan del vid 1 dev dummy1
# bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br1 vlan 1
00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 vlan 1 master br1 static
# bridge fdb del 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 master vlan 1
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
# bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br1 vlan 1
00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 vlan 1 master br1 static
This is in contrast to MDB entries that can be deleted after the VLAN
was deleted:
# bridge vlan add vid 10 dev dummy1
# bridge mdb add dev br1 port dummy1 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent vid 10
# bridge vlan del vid 10 dev dummy1
# bridge mdb get dev br1 grp 239.1.1.1 vid 10
dev br1 port dummy1 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent vid 10
# bridge mdb del dev br1 port dummy1 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent vid 10
# bridge mdb get dev br1 grp 239.1.1.1 vid 10
Error: bridge: MDB entry not found.
Align the two interfaces and allow user space to delete FDB entries that
were added with a VLAN that no longer exists:
# ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
# ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# ip link set dev dummy1 master br1
# bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 master static vlan 1
# bridge vlan del vid 1 dev dummy1
# bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br1 vlan 1
00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 vlan 1 master br1 static
# bridge fdb del 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 master vlan 1
# bridge fdb get 00:11:22:33:44:55 br br1 vlan 1
Error: Fdb entry not found.
Add a selftest to make sure this behavior does not regress:
# ./rtnetlink.sh -t kci_test_fdb_del
PASS: bridge fdb del
