br_mst_get_info answers the question: "On this bridge, which VIDs are mapped to the given MSTI?" This is useful in switchdev drivers, which might have to fan-out operations, relating to an MSTI, per VLAN. An example: When a port's MST state changes from forwarding to blocking, a driver may choose to flush the dynamic FDB entries on that port to get faster reconvergence of the network, but this should only be done in the VLANs that are managed by the MSTI in question.

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.
