Now that both the bridge and VXLAN drivers implement the MDB get net device operation, expose the functionality to user space by registering a handler for RTM_GETMDB messages. Derive the net device from the ifindex specified in the ancillary header and invoke its MDB get NDO. Note that unlike other get handlers, the allocation of the skb containing the response is not performed in the common rtnetlink code as the size is variable and needs to be determined by the respective driver.

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.
