From b5f1d9ec283bd28a452cf61d7e5c2f2b1a9cccda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 23:47:18 +0300 Subject: net: bridge: add a flag to avoid refreshing fdb when changing/adding When we modify or create a new fdb entry sometimes we want to avoid refreshing its activity in order to track it properly. One example is when a mac is received from EVPN multi-homing peer by FRR, which doesn't want to change local activity accounting. It makes it static and sets a flag to track its activity.
