There is no way to configure the bridge, to receive only specific link
layer multicast addresses. From the description of the command 'bridge
fdb append' is supposed to do that, but there was no way to notify the
network driver that the bridge joined a group, because LLADDR was added
to the unicast netdev_hw_addr_list.

Therefore update fdb_add_entry to check if the NLM_F_APPEND flag is set
and if the source is NULL, which represent the bridge itself. Then add
address to multicast netdev_hw_addr_list for each bridge interfaces.
And then the .ndo_set_rx_mode function on the driver is called. To notify
the driver that the list of multicast mac addresses changed.

Hi,
I'm sorry but this patch is wrong on many levels, some notes below. In general
NLM_F_APPEND is only used in vxlan, the bridge does not handle that flag at all.
FDB is only for *unicast*, nothing is joined and no multicast should be used with fdbs.
MDB is used for multicast handling, but both of these are used for forwarding.
The reason the static fdbs are added to the filter is for non-promisc ports, so they can
receive traffic destined for these FDBs for forwarding.
If you'd like to join any multicast group please use the standard way, if you'd like to join
it only on a specific port - join it only on that port (or ports) and the bridge and you'll

And obviously this is for the case where you're not enabling port promisc mode (non-default).
In general you'll only need to join the group on the bridge to receive traffic for it
or add it as an mdb entry to forward it.

have the effect that you're describing. What do you mean there's no way ?

Thanks for the explanation.
There are few things that are not 100% clear to me and maybe you can
explain them, not to go totally in the wrong direction. Currently I am
writing a network driver on which I added switchdev support. Then I was
looking for a way to configure the network driver to copy link layer
multicast address to the CPU port.

If I am using bridge mdb I can do it only for IP multicast addreses,
but how should I do it if I want non IP frames with link layer multicast
address to be copy to CPU? For example: all frames with multicast
address '01-21-6C-00-00-01' to be copy to CPU. What is the user space
command for that?

Check SIOCADDMULTI (ip maddr from iproute2), f.e. add that mac to the port
which needs to receive it and the bridge will send it up automatically since
it's unknown mcast (note that if there's a querier, you'll have to make the
bridge mcast router if it is not the querier itself). It would also flood it to all

Actually you mentioned non-IP traffic, so the querier stuff is not a problem. This
traffic will always be flooded by the bridge (and also a copy will be locally sent up).
Thus only the flooding may need to be controlled.

other ports so you may want to control that. It really depends on the setup
and the how the hardware is configured.

In addition you're allowing a mix of mcast functions to be called with unicast addresses
and vice versa, it is not that big of a deal because the kernel will simply return an error
but still makes no sense.
