Currently, the filter mode (i.e., INCLUDE / EXCLUDE) of MDB entries cannot be set from user space. Instead, it is set by the kernel according to the entry type: (*, G) entries are treated as EXCLUDE and (S, G) entries are treated as INCLUDE. This allows the kernel to derive the entry type from its filter mode. Subsequent patches will allow user space to set the filter mode of (*, G) entries, making the current assumption incorrect. As a preparation, remove the current assumption and instead determine the entry type from its key, which is a more direct way.

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.
