Add new netlink attributes to the RTM_NEWMDB request that allow user space to add (*, G) with a source list and filter mode. The RTM_NEWMDB message can already dump such entries (created by the kernel) so there is no need to add dump support. However, the message contains a different set of attributes depending if it is a request or a response. The naming and structure of the new attributes try to follow the existing ones used in the response. Request: [ struct nlmsghdr ] [ struct br_port_msg ] [ MDBA_SET_ENTRY ] struct br_mdb_entry [ MDBA_SET_ENTRY_ATTRS ] [ MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE ] struct in_addr / struct in6_addr [ MDBE_ATTR_SRC_LIST ] // new [ MDBE_SRC_LIST_ENTRY ] [ MDBE_SRCATTR_ADDRESS ] struct in_addr / struct in6_addr [ ...] [ MDBE_ATTR_GROUP_MODE ] // new u8 Response: [ struct nlmsghdr ] [ struct br_port_msg ] [ MDBA_MDB ] [ MDBA_MDB_ENTRY ] [ MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO ] struct br_mdb_entry [ MDBA_MDB_EATTR_TIMER ] u32 [ MDBA_MDB_EATTR_SOURCE ] struct in_addr / struct in6_addr [ MDBA_MDB_EATTR_RTPROT ] u8 [ MDBA_MDB_EATTR_SRC_LIST ] [ MDBA_MDB_SRCLIST_ENTRY ] [ MDBA_MDB_SRCATTR_ADDRESS ] struct in_addr / struct in6_addr [ MDBA_MDB_SRCATTR_TIMER ] u8 [...] [ MDBA_MDB_EATTR_GROUP_MODE ] u8 Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <razor@blackwall.org> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
