Hello,

I'd like to start a discussion if it makes sense to add an optional feature

to the bridge MAC address learning code to generate kernel uevents for

[SNIP]

I'm porting my patch (for 3.10.0) to head, and will make it available, I 
just want some

valuable feedback as early as possible.


Thanks, D.Herrendoerfer

This should be possible by listening for netlink events.
No need for udev interaction.

No, there are none, not for changes to the bridge forwarding table, also this would 
require a tool to continuously listen for changes.
