net: introduce generic switch devices support The goal of this is to provide a possibility to support various switch chips. Drivers should implement relevant ndos to do so. Now there is only one ndo defined: - for getting physical switch id is in place. Note that user can use random port netdevice to access the switch.

switchdev: introduce switchdev notifier This patch introduces new notifier for purposes of exposing events which happen on switch driver side. The consumers of the event messages are mainly involved masters, namely bridge and ovs. Suggested-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: replace br_fdb_external_learn_* calls with switchdev notifier events This patch benefits from newly introduced switchdev notifier and uses it to propagate fdb learn events from rocker driver to bridge. That avoids direct function calls and possible use by other listeners (ovs).

swdevice: add new apis to set and del bridge port attributes This patch adds two new api's netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink and netdev_switch_port_bridge_dellink to offload bridge port attributes to switch port (The names of the apis look odd with 'switch_port_bridge', but am more inclined to change the prefix of the api to something else. Will take any suggestions). The api's look at the NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag to pass bridge port attributes to the port device.
