"Static" is a loaded word, and probably not what the author meant when the code was written. In particular, this looks weird: $ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 local # totally fine, but $ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 static [ 2020.708298] swp0: FDB only supports static addresses # hmm what? By looking at the implementation which uses dev_uc_add/dev_uc_del it is absolutely clear that only local addresses are supported, and the proper Network Unreachability Detection state is being used for this purpose (user space indeed sets NUD_PERMANENT when local addresses are meant). So it is just the message that is wrong, fix it. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
