Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Incremental fixups for DSA unicast filtering There are some bugs I've discovered in the recently merged "DSA unicast filtering" series: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220302191417.1288145-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ First bug is the dereference of an uninitialized list (dp->fdbs) when the "initial" tag protocol is placed in the device tree for the Felix switch driver. This is a scenario I hadn't tested. It is handled by patches 1-3. Second bug is actually a sum of bugs that canceled each other out during my previous testing. The MAC address change of a DSA slave interface breaks termination for the other slave interfaces. But this actually does not happen if the slave interface whose address is changing is down. And even when up, traffic termination is still not broken because we fail to properly disable host flooding. Patches 4-6 handle this for the Felix driver (the only one benefiting from unicast filtering so far). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
