The merge commit 92716869375b ("Merge branch 'br-flush-filtering'")
added support for FDB flushing in bridge driver. The following patches
will extend VXLAN driver to support FDB flushing as well. The netlink
message for bulk delete is shared between the drivers. With the existing
implementation, there is no way to prevent user from flushing with
attributes that are not supported per driver. For example, when VNI will
be added, user will not get an error for flush FDB entries in bridge
with VNI, although this attribute is not relevant for bridge.
As preparation for support of FDB flush in VXLAN driver, move the policy
to be handled in bridge driver, later a new policy for VXLAN will be
added in VXLAN driver. Do not pass 'vid' as part of ndo_fdb_del_bulk(),
as this field is relevant only for bridge.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
