Merge branch 'bridge_multicast_exports'
Linus Lüssing says: ==================== bridge: multicast snooping patches / exports The first patch is simply a cosmetic patch. So far I (and maybe others too?) have been regularly confusing these two structs, therefore I'd suggest renaming them and therefore making the follow-up patches easier to understand and nicer to fit in. The second patch fixes a minor issue, but probably not worth for stable. On the other hand the first two patches are also preparations for the third and fourth patch: These two patches are exporting functionality needed to marry the bridge multicast snooping with the batman-adv multicast optimizations recently added for the 3.15 kernel, allowing to use these optimzations in common setups having a bridge on top of e.g. bat0, too. So far these bridged setups would fall back to simple flooding through the batman-adv mesh network for any multicast packet entering bat0. More information about the batman-adv multicast optimizations currently implemented can be found here: http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Basic-multicast-optimizations The integration on the batman-adv side could afterwards look like this, for instance: http://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/commitdiff/576b59dd3e34737c702e548b21fa72059262f796?hp=f95ce7131746c65fbcdffcf2089cab59e2c2f7ac ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
