Subject: [PATCH] net: bridge: suppress broadcast when multicast flood is disabled
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 15:09:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1493042944-4005-1-git-send-email-mmanning@brocade.com> (raw)

Flood suppression for packets that are not unicast needs to be handled
consistently by also not flooding broadcast packets. As broadcast is a
special case of multicast, the same kernel parameter should be used to
suppress flooding for both of these packet types.

Fixes: b6cb5ac8331b ("net: bridge: add per-port multicast flood flag")
