Hi,
This patch-set is inappropriate for -net, if at all. It's quite late over here and I'll
review the rest later, but I can say from a quick peek that patch 02 is
unacceptable for it increases the complexity with 1 order of magnitude of all
add/del call paths and some of them can be invoked on user packets. A lot of
this functionality should be "hidden" in the driver or done by a user-space
daemon/helper.
Most of the flooding behaviour changes must be hidden behind some new
option otherwise they'll break user setups that rely on the current. I'll review
the patches in detail over the following few days, net-next is closed anyway.

Cheers,
 Nik

Hi Nik,

Thanks for your quick response!
Once you have a chance to review the set, please let me know how I can improve them to make them acceptable. These are real problems and we do need to fix them.

Thanks,
Joseph
