With current implementation in single FDB LAG mode all packets are processed by eswitch 0 rules. As such, 'peer' FDB entries receive the packets for rules of other eswitches and are responsible for updating the main entry by sending SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE notification from their background update wq task. However, this introduces a race condition when non-zero eswitch instance decides to delete a FDB entry, sends SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE notification, but another eswitch's update task refreshes the same entry concurrently while its async delete work is still pending on the workque. In such case another SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE event may be generated and entry will remain stuck in FDB marked as 'offloaded' since no more SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE notifications are sent for deleting the peer entries. Fix the issue by synchronously marking deleted entries with MLX5_ESW_BRIDGE_FLAG_DELETED flag and skipping them in background update job.

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.
