Merge branch 'bridge-mdb-bulk-delete'
Ido Schimmel says:
====================
Add MDB bulk deletion support
This patchset adds MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user space to
request the deletion of matching entries instead of dumping the entire
MDB and issuing a separate deletion request for each matching entry.
Support is added in both the bridge and VXLAN drivers in a similar
fashion to the existing FDB bulk deletion support.
The parameters according to which bulk deletion can be performed are
similar to the FDB ones, namely: Destination port, VLAN ID, state (e.g.,
"permanent"), routing protocol, source / destination VNI, destination IP
and UDP port. Flushing based on flags (e.g., "offload", "fast_leave",
"added_by_star_ex", "blocked") is not currently supported, but can be
added in the future, if a use case arises.
Patch #1 adds a new uAPI attribute to allow specifying the state mask
according to which bulk deletion will be performed, if any.
Patch #2 adds a new policy according to which bulk deletion requests
(with 'NLM_F_BULK' flag set) will be parsed.
Patches #3-#4 add a new NDO for MDB bulk deletion and invoke it from the
rtnetlink code when a bulk deletion request is made.
Patches #5-#6 implement the MDB bulk deletion NDO in the bridge and
VXLAN drivers, respectively.
Patch #7 allows user space to issue MDB bulk deletion requests by no
longer rejecting the 'NLM_F_BULK' flag when it is set in 'RTM_DELMDB'
requests.
Patches #8-#9 add selftests for both drivers, for both good and bad
flows.
