From: Scott Feldman <sfel...@gmail.com> Push bridge-level attributes down to switchdev drivers. This patchset adds the infrastructure and then pushes, as an example, ageing_time attribute down from bridge to switchdev (rocker) driver. Add some range-checking for ageing_time.
# ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 1000 # ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 999 RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range Up until now, switchdev attrs where port-level attrs, so the netdev used in switchdev_attr_set() would be a switch port or bond of switch ports. With bridge-level attrs, the netdev passed to switchdev_attr_set() is the bridge netdev. The same recusive algo is used to visit the leaves of the stacked drivers to set the attr, it's just in this case we start one layer higher in the stack. One note is not all ports in the bridge may support setting a bridge-level attribute, so rather than failing the entire set, we'll skip over those ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP. v1->v2: rebase w/ net-next Scott Feldman (4): switchdev: add bridge attributes switchdev: skip over ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP when recursing ports bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev rocker: handle setting bridge ageing_time drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ include/net/switchdev.h | 6 ++++++ include/uapi/linux/if_link.h | 2 +- net/bridge/br_ioctl.c | 3 +-- net/bridge/br_netlink.c | 6 +++--- net/bridge/br_private.h | 1 + net/bridge/br_stp.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c | 3 +-- net/switchdev/switchdev.c | 9 ++++++++- 9 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
