mv88e6xxx is special among DSA drivers in that it requires the VTU to contain the VID of the FDB entry it modifies in mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge(), otherwise it will return -EOPNOTSUPP. Sometimes due to races this is not always satisfied even if external code does everything right (first deletes the FDB entries, then the VLAN), because DSA commits to hardware FDB entries asynchronously since commitc9eb3e0f87("net: dsa: Add support for learning FDB through notification"). Therefore, the mv88e6xxx driver must close this race condition by itself, by asking DSA to flush the switchdev workqueue of any FDB deletions in progress, prior to exiting a VLAN.

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.
