It may happen that we have the following topology with DSA or any other switchdev driver with LAG offload: ip link add br0 type bridge stp_state 1 ip link add bond0 type bond ip link set bond0 master br0 ip link set swp0 master bond0 ip link set swp1 master bond0 STP decides that it should put bond0 into the BLOCKING state, and that's that. The ports that are actively listening for the switchdev port attributes emitted for the bond0 bridge port (because they are offloading it) and have the honor of seeing that switchdev port attribute can react to it, so we can program swp0 and swp1 into the BLOCKING state. But if then we do: ip link set swp2 master bond0 then as far as the bridge is concerned, nothing has changed: it still has one bridge port. But this new bridge port will not see any STP state change notification and will remain FORWARDING, which is how the standalone code leaves it in. We need a function in the bridge driver which retrieves the current STP state, such that drivers can synchronize to it when they may have missed switchdev events.

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.
