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:
