[PATCH net-next v2 3/3] net: bridge: Add a configurable default FDB learning limit

From: Johannes Nixdorf <hidden>
Date: 2023-06-19 07:15:26
Also in: bridge
Subsystem: ethernet bridge, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Nikolay Aleksandrov, Ido Schimmel, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

This adds a Kconfig option to configure a default FDB learning limit
system wide, so a distributor building a special purpose kernel can
limit all created bridges by default.

The limit is only a soft default setting and overridable per bridge
using netlink.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Nixdorf <redacted>

Changes since v1:
 - Added a default limit in Kconfig. (deemed acceptable in review
