Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: Get rid of switchdev_port_attr_get() This patch series splits the removal of the switchdev_ops that was proposed a few times before and first tackles the easy part which is the removal of the single call to switchdev_port_attr_get() within the bridge code. As suggestd by Ido, this patch series adds a SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS which is used in the same context as the caller of switchdev_port_attr_set(), so not deferred, and then the operation is carried out in deferred context with setting a support bridge port flag. Follow-up patches will do the switchdev_ops removal after introducing the proper helpers for the switchdev blocking notifier to work across stacked devices (unlike the previous submissions). David this does depend on Russell's "[PATCH net-next v5 0/3] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fix IPv6". Changes in v3: - rebased against net-next/master after Russell's IPv6 changes to DSA - ignore prepare/commit phase for PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS since we don't want to trigger the WARN() in net/switchdev/switchdev.c in the commit phase Changes in v2: - differentiate callers not supporting switchdev_port_attr_set() from the driver not being able to support specific bridge flags - pass "mask" instead of "flags" for the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS check - skip prepare phase for PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS - corrected documentation a bit more - tested bridge_vlan_aware.sh with veth/VRF ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
