Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] bridge: mdb: add support for extended attributes
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 12:46:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455623214-2951-1-git-send-email-razor@blackwall.org> (raw)

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com>

Hi,
This small set allows to extend the per mdb entry exported attributes,
before this set we had only a structure exported which couldn't be changed
because we would've broken user-space, after this we extend the attribute
that was used for the structure and add per-mdb entry attributes after the
struct has been added (see patch 02 for more details). Note that the reason
we can't simply add an attribute after MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO is that current
users (e.g. iproute2) walk over the attribute list directly without
checking for the attribute type.
Patch 01 is a simple change to reduce one indentation level in order to
avoid over 80 char lines.

Cheers,
 Nik
