    bridge: mdb: fix delmdb state in the notification · 7ae90a4f
    Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
    Since mdb states were introduced when deleting an entry the state was
    left as it was set in the delete request from the user which leads to
    the following output when doing a monitor (for example):
    $ bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    (monitor) dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    $ bridge mdb del dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    (monitor) dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 temp
    ^^^
    Note the "temp" state in the delete notification which is wrong since
    the entry was permanent, the state in a delete is always reported as
    "temp" regardless of the real state of the entry.
    
    After this patch:
    $ bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    (monitor) dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    $ bridge mdb del dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    (monitor) dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    
    There's one important note to make here that the state is actually not
    matched when doing a delete, so one can delete a permanent entry by
    stating "temp" in the end of the command, I've chosen this fix in order
    not to break user-space tools which rely on this (incorrect) behaviour.
    
    So to give an example after this patch and using the wrong state:
    $ bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    (monitor) dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    $ bridge mdb del dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 temp
    (monitor) dev br0 port eth3 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent
    
    Note the state of the entry that got deleted is correct in the
    notification.
