The learning attribute - in my case - it is like all other attributes: a port attribute (as you said, port settings that the switch provides per port). > So, what I was saying is "why the user shall go through a bridge to configure the learning attribute"? From my perspective, it is as any other attribute and as such configurable on the port. Thinking about this some more, i don't see why any of these attributes (except loopback. I dont understand the loopback attribute) cant be part of the birdge port attributes. With this we will end up adding l2 attributes in two places: the general link attributes and bridge attributes. And since we have gone down the path of using ndo_bridge_setlink/getlink with 'self'....we should stick to that for all l2 attributes. The idea of overloading ndo_bridge_set/getlink, was to have the same set of attributes but support both cases where the user wants to go through the bridge driver or directly to the switch port driver. So, you are not really going through the bridge driver if you use 'self' and ndo_bridge_setlink/getlink. >>>>> + IFLA_ATTR_LOOPBACK, >>>>> + IFLA_ATTR_BCAST_FLOODING, >>>>> + IFLA_ATTR_UCAST_FLOODING, >>>>> + IFLA_ATTR_MCAST_FLOODING, >>>>> + __IFLA_ATTR_MAX >>>>> +}; >>>>> + >>>>> +#define IFLA_ATTR_MAX (__IFLA_ATTR_MAX - 1) >>>>> + >>>>> #endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_IF_LINK_H */ diff --git >>>>> a/net/core/rtnetlink.c b/net/core/rtnetlink.c index >>>>> eaa057f..c0d1c45 100644 >>>>> --- a/net/core/rtnetlink.c >>>>> +++ b/net/core/rtnetlink.c >>>>> @@ -1389,6 +1389,46 @@ static int validate_linkmsg(struct net_device >>>> *dev, struct nlattr *tb[]) >>>>> return 0; >>>>> } >>>>> >>>>> +#ifdef CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV >>>>> +static int do_setswcfg(struct net_device *dev, struct nlattr *attr) { >>>>> + int rem, err = -EINVAL; >>>>> + struct nlattr *v; >>>>> + const struct net_device_ops *ops = dev->netdev_ops; >>>>> + >>>>> + nla_for_each_nested(v, attr, rem) { >>>>> + u32 op = nla_type(v); >>>>> + u64 value = 0; >>>>> + >>>>> + switch (op) { >>>>> + case IFLA_ATTR_LEARNING: >>>>> + case IFLA_ATTR_LOOPBACK: >>>>> + case IFLA_ATTR_BCAST_FLOODING: >>>>> + case IFLA_ATTR_UCAST_FLOODING: >>>>> + case IFLA_ATTR_MCAST_FLOODING: { >>>>> + if (nla_len(v) < sizeof(value)) { >>>>> + err = -EINVAL; >>>>> + break; >>>>> + } >>>>> + >>>>> + value = nla_get_u64(v); >>>>> + err = ops->ndo_switch_port_set_cfg(dev, >>>>> + op, >>>>> + value); >>>>> + break; >>>>> + } >>>>> + default: >>>>> + err = -EINVAL; >>>>> + break; >>>>> + } >>>>> + if (err) >>>>> + break; >>>>> + } >>>>> + return err; >>>>> +} >>>>> + >>>>> +#endif >>>>> + >>>>> static int do_setvfinfo(struct net_device *dev, struct nlattr *attr) >>>>> { >>>>> int rem, err = -EINVAL; >>>>> @@ -1740,6 +1780,20 @@ static int do_setlink(const struct sk_buff *skb, >>>>> status |= DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY; >>>>> } >>>>> } >>>>> +#ifdef CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV >>>>> + if (tb[IFLA_SWITCH_PORT_CFG]) { >>>>> + err = -EOPNOTSUPP; >>>>> + if (!ops->ndo_switch_port_set_cfg) >>>>> + goto errout; >>>>> + if (!ops->ndo_switch_parent_id_get) >>>>> + goto errout; >>>>> + err = do_setswcfg(dev, tb[IFLA_SWITCH_PORT_CFG]); >>>>> + if (err < 0) >>>>> + goto errout; >>>>> + >>>>> + status |= DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY; >>>>> + } >>>>> +#endif >>>>> err = 0; >>>>> >>>>> errout: >>> -- >>> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in >>> the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo >> info >>> at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >> -- >> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body >> of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at >> http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
