[RFC PATCH net-next 1/2] net: bridge: add switchdev attr for port bridging

From: Vivien Didelot
Date: Wed Mar 09 2016 - 12:43:35 EST


Add a new SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_IF switchdev attribute which is
set before adding a port to a bridge and deleting a port from a bridge.

The main purpose for this attribute is to provide switchdev users a
simple and common way to retrieve bridging information, instead of
implementing complex notifier blocks to listen to global netdev events.

We can also imagine a switchdev user returning an error different from
-EOPNOTSUPP in the prepare phase to prevent a port from being bridged.
