Jiri Pirko says: =================== net: Remove support from bridge bypass for mlxsw/rocker drivers Currently setting bridge port attributes and adding FDBs are done via setting the SELF flag which implies unconsistent offloading model. This patch-set fixes this behavior by making the bridge and drivers which are using it to be totally in sync. This implies several changes: - Offloading bridge flags from the bridge code. - Sending notification about FDB add/del to the software bridge in a similiar way it is done for the hardware externally learned FDBs. By making the offloading model more consistent a cleanup is done in the drivers supporting it. This is done in order to remove un-needed logic related to dump operation which is redundant. First add missing functionality to bridge, then clean up the mlxsw/rocker drivers. v1->v2 - Move bridge-switchdev related stuff to br_switchdev.c as suggested by Nik =================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
