Karsten Graul says: ==================== s390/qeth: Add bridge to switchdev LEARNING_SYNC The netlink bridgeport attribute LEARNING_SYNC can be used to enable qeth interfaces to report MAC addresses that are reachable via this qeth interface to the attached software bridge via switchdev notifiers SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE and SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE. Extend this support of LEARNING_SYNC to the bridge to switchdev notifiers SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE and SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_DEVICE. Add the capability to sync MAC addresses that are learned by a north-facing, non-isolated bridgeport of a software bridge to south-facing, isolated bridgeports. This enables the software bridge to influence south to north traffic steering in hardware. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
