Does it make the restore faster? Yes, since this would be called during system suspend/resume path.

Is that okay? If netdev is closed and opened ale_restore() is not called. ale_restore() is only called during system suspend/resume path since CPSW-ALE might have lost context during suspend and we want to restore all valid ALE entries.

Ack, what I'm referring to is the contents of am65_cpsw_nuss_resume(). I'm guessing that ALE_CLEAR is expected to be triggered by cpsw_ale_start(). Assuming above is true and that ALE_CLEAR comes from cpsw_ale_start(), the call stack is: cpsw_ale_start() am65_cpsw_nuss_common_open() am65_cpsw_nuss_ndo_slave_open() am65_cpsw_nuss_resume() but resume() only calls ndo_slave_open under certain conditions: for (i = 0; i < common->port_num; i++) { if (netif_running(ndev)) { rtnl_lock(); ret = am65_cpsw_nuss_ndo_slave_open(ndev); Is there another path? Or perhaps there's nothing to restore if all netdevs are down? > I have a question here. How should ageable entries be treated in this case? Ah, no idea :) Let's me add experts to To:

Or perhaps there's nothing to restore > if all netdevs are down? I see your point now. We are missing a ALE_CLEAR if all interfaces were down during suspend/resume. In this case the call to cpsw_ale_restore() is pointless as ALE will be cleared again when one of the interfaces is brought up. I'll revise the patch to call cpsw_ale_restore only if any interface was running. > >> I have a question here.

In DSA for example, we only keep ageable entries in hardware as long as the port STP state, plus BR_LEARNING port flag, are compatible with having such FDB entries. Otherwise, any transition to such a state flushes the ageable FDB entries. A link loss generates a bridge port transition to the DISABLED state, which DSA uses to generate a SWITCHDEV_FDB_FLUSH_TO_BRIDGE event. I'm not sure if it would even be possible to accurately do the right thing and update the ageing timer of the FDB entries with the amount of time that the system was suspended.

In that case I'll leave the entries as they are and let the Switch logic deal with the stale entries. They should eventually get flushed out. cheers, -roger
