There are two kinds of MDB entries to be replayed: port MDB entries, and host MDB entries. They are both replayed by br_switchdev_mdb_replay(). If the driver supports one kind, but lacks the other, the first -EOPNOTSUPP returned terminates the whole replay, including any further still-supported objects in the list. For this to cause issues, there must be MDB entries for both the host and the port being replayed. In that case, if the driver bails out from handling the host entry, the port entries are never replayed. However, the replay is currently only done when a switchdev port joins a bridge. There would be no port memberships at that point. Thus despite being erroneous, the code does not cause observable bugs. This is not an issue with other object kinds either, because there, each function replays one object kind. If a driver does not support that kind, it makes sense to bail out early. -EOPNOTSUPP is then ignored in nbp_switchdev_sync_objs(). For MDB, suppress the -EOPNOTSUPP error code in br_switchdev_mdb_replay() already, so that the whole list gets replayed. The reason we need this patch is that a future patch will introduce a replay that should be used when a front-panel port netdevice is enslaved to a bridge lower, in particular a LAG. The LAG netdevice can already have both host and port MDB entries. The port entries need to be replayed so that they are offloaded on the port that joins the LAG.

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.
