By default, DSA switch ports inherit their MAC address from the DSA
master.
This works well for practical situations, but some selftests like
bridge_vlan_unaware.sh loop back 2 standalone DSA ports with 2 bridged
DSA ports, and require the bridge to forward packets between the
standalone ports.
Due to the bridge seeing that the MAC DA it needs to forward is present
as a local FDB entry (it coincides with the MAC address of the bridge
ports), the test packets are not forwarded, but terminated locally on
br0. In turn, this makes the ping and ping6 tests fail.
Address this by introducing an option to have stable MAC addresses.
When mac_addr_prepare is called, the current addresses of the netifs are
saved and replaced with 00:01:02:03:04:${netif number}. Then when
mac_addr_restore is called at the end of the test, the original MAC
addresses are restored. This ensures that the MAC addresses are unique,
which makes the test pass even for DSA ports.
The usage model is for the behavior to be opt-in via STABLE_MAC_ADDRS,
which DSA should set to true, all others behave as before. By hooking
the calls to mac_addr_prepare and mac_addr_restore within the forwarding
lib itself, we do not need to patch each individual selftest, the only
requirement is that pre_cleanup is called.

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.
