(This patch depends on net-next patch titled
"Add bridge ifindex to bridge fdb notify msgs")
This patch adds master dev name from NDA_MASTER netlink attribute
to bridge fdb show output
current iproute2 tries to print 'master' in the output if NTF_MASTER
is present. But, kernel today does not set NTF_MASTER during dump
requests. Which means I have not seen iproute2 bridge cmd print 'master' atall.
This patch overrides the NTF_MASTER flag if NDA_MASTER attribute is present.
Example output:
before this patch:
# bridge fdb show
44:38:39:00:27:ba dev bond2.2003 permanent
44:38:39:00:27:bb dev bond4.2003 permanent
44:38:39:00:27:bc dev bond2.2004 permanent
After this patch:
# bridge fdb show
44:38:39:00:27:ba dev bond2.2003 master br-2003 permanent
44:38:39:00:27:bb dev bond4.2003 master br-2003 permanent
44:38:39:00:27:bc dev bond2.2004 master br-2004 permanent
For comparision with the above, below is the output for NTF_SELF today,
# bridge fdb show
33:33:00:00:00:01 dev eth0 self permanent
01:00:5e:00:00:01 dev eth0 self permanent
33:33:ff:00:01:cc dev eth0 self permanent
If change in output is a concern, 'master' can be put at the end of the fdb
output line or made optional with -d[etails] option.

'master' is already a reserved word in the bridge command and
has a slightly different connotation. May be replace it with
'bridge' or something similar.

As Stephen always mentions, iproute commands have to be invertable.
In other words, what you get out of the show command you should
be able to feed back into a set command.
As such, it would probably be a good thing to support
bridge fdb set 44:38:39:00:27:ba dev bond2.2003 bridge br-2003 permanent
and I think this ends up being something very close to what
Jamal already proposed.
May be work together and come up with a single syntax.

I am not so convinced about the 'bridge' keyword. The way i see it is: I
am just adding more context to the existing 'master' keyword. In the
cases i am pointing out above 'master' is a bridge.
If the only argument is that it changes existing output, ...i agree. I
have expressed slight concerns about that before.

We did discuss this on the other thread (RFC), and it does not seem
necessary.
two things:
- like i indicated above, introducing 'bridge' to mean 'master' seems
to add more confusion and
seems redundant. But, maybe that's just me.
- having user specify master when kernel can derive it
seems unnecessary (agree that for code symmetry we could add master
during sets but make it optional)

Ack.
looking at jamals patch for fdb show filters, if i consider my approach
of using 'master' to represent a bridge,
his syntax would look like,
bridge fdb {show} [dev DEV]
bridge fdb {show} [dev DEV] [master BRDEV]
Thanks,

I prefer bridge keyword since master is not used in IEEE 802
documents.

but set also uses 'master' ..and the bridge is referenced using 'master'
in almost all commands
#ip link set dev brport master brdev
so, using 'bridge' and 'master' interchangeably seems a bit confusing.
But, if the preference is 'bridge' i will resubmit this patch with
'bridge' shortly.
Thanks!.

Sorry - I guess until i looked at the code again last few minutes,
it had skipped my mind that this interface is also used for vxlan. So
master now seems to make more sense ;->
Vlad, you may get your wish - it seems if i am going to have to set
the bridge device as a filter I will have no choice but to use an
ifm since it is size different from ndm. Which is not a big deal
until i attach an attribute - which breaks old iproute2 out in
the wild already. I have to say i am not liking this (because i was
hoping to add other filters in the future, example vlan)
but dont see a way out.
So the only way this would work is to use the original ifm as
the header.
cheers,
jamal
