Subject: [PATCH iproute2 4/6] man8/bridge.8: fix which one of self/master is default for "bridge fdb"
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2021 12:45:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210211104502.2081443-5-olteanv@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210211104502.2081443-1-olteanv@gmail.com>
From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>
The bridge program does:
fdb_modify:
/* Assume self */
if (!(req.ndm.ndm_flags&(NTF_SELF|NTF_MASTER)))
req.ndm.ndm_flags |= NTF_SELF;
which is clearly against the documented behavior. The only thing we can
do, sadly, is update the documentation.
