This patch expands on the earlier work on layer-2 mdb entries by adding
support for host entries. Due to the fact that host joined entries do
not have any flag field, we infer the permanent flag when reporting the
entries to userspace, which otherwise would be listed as 'temp'.
Before patch:
~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee permanent
Error: bridge: Flags are not allowed for host groups.
~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee
Error: bridge: Only permanent L2 entries allowed.
After patch:
~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee permanent
~# bridge mdb show
dev br0 port br0 grp 01:00:00:c0:ff:ee permanent vid 1

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.
