Revision 2a95388353b74a70b9c43c55a781faa92e1a14f1 authored by David S. Miller on 16 November 2012, 18:38:12 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 16 November 2012, 18:38:12 UTC
Included fixes are:
- update the client entry status flags when using the "early client
  detection". This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly work;
- transfer the client entry status flags when recovering the translation
  table from another node. This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly
  work;
- prevent the "early client detection mechanism" to add clients belonging to
  other backbone nodes in the same LAN. This breaks connectivity when using this
  mechanism together with the Bridge Loop Avoidance
- process broadcast packets with the Bridge Loop Avoidance before any other
  component. BLA can possibly drop the packets based on the source address. This
  makes the "early client detection mechanism" correctly work when used with
  BLA.
