From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This series implements arp and nd suppression in the bridge driver for ethernet vpns. It implements rfc7432, section 10 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10 for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing BR_ARP_PROXY flag but has a few semantic differences to conform to EVPN standard. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding to tunnel ports like vxlan/mpls. Unlike the existing flags it suppresses flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp, nd) to tunnel ports. Roopa Prabhu (3): bridge: add new BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS port flag to suppress arp and nd flood neigh arp suppress first bridge: suppress nd messages from going to BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports include/linux/if_bridge.h | 1 + include/uapi/linux/if_link.h | 1 + net/bridge/Makefile | 2 +- net/bridge/br_arp_nd_proxy.c | 492 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/bridge/br_device.c | 18 ++ net/bridge/br_forward.c | 3 +- net/bridge/br_if.c | 5 + net/bridge/br_input.c | 73 ++----- net/bridge/br_netlink.c | 16 +- net/bridge/br_private.h | 9 + net/bridge/br_sysfs_if.c | 2 + 11 files changed, 561 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) create mode 100644 net/bridge/br_arp_nd_proxy.c -- 2.1.4
