Merge branch 'mdb-get'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Add MDB get support This patchset adds MDB get support, allowing user space to request a single MDB entry to be retrieved instead of dumping the entire MDB. Support is added in both the bridge and VXLAN drivers. Patches #1-#6 are small preparations in both drivers. Patches #7-#8 add the required uAPI attributes for the new functionality and the MDB get net device operation (NDO), respectively. Patches #9-#10 implement the MDB get NDO in both drivers. Patch #11 registers a handler for RTM_GETMDB messages in rtnetlink core. The handler derives the net device from the ifindex specified in the ancillary header and invokes its MDB get NDO. Patches #12-#13 add selftests by converting tests that use MDB dump with grep to the new MDB get functionality. iproute2 changes can be found here [1]. v2: * Patch #7: Add a comment to describe attributes structure. * Patch #9: Add a comment above spin_lock_bh().
