[RFC PATCH] macvlan: add FDB bridge ops

From: John Fastabend <hidden>
Date: 2012-03-21 00:40:20
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Add support to add/del and dump the forwarding database
for macvlan passthru mode. The macvlan driver acts like
a Two Port Mac Relay (TPMR 802.1Q-2011) in the passthru
case so adding forwarding rules is just adding the addr
to the uc or mc lists.

By default the passthru mode puts the lowerdev into a
promiscuous mode to receive all packets. This behavior
is not changed by this patch. This is a bit problematic
and needs to be solved without IMHO breaking existing
mechanics. Maybe on the first add_fdb we can decrement
the promisc mode? That seems to work reasonable well and
keep existing functionality in place... but requires
an initial add to set things up which is a bit annoying
so maybe a flag is better. I haven't thought too hard
about it yet so any ideas welcome

This patch is a result of Roopa Prabhu's work. Follow up
patches are needed for VEPA and VEB macvlan modes.

Only lightly touch tested at this point.
