[PATCH iproute2-next v3] iplink: bridge: Add support for bridge FDB learning limits

From: Johannes Nixdorf
Date: Tue Sep 05 2023 - 12:41:57 EST


Support setting the FDB limit through ip link. The arguments is:
- fdb_max_learned_entries: A 32-bit unsigned integer specifying the
maximum number of learned FDB entries, with 0
disabling the limit.

Also support reading back the current number of learned FDB entries in
the bridge by this count. The returned value's name is:
- fdb_n_learned_entries: A 32-bit unsigned integer specifying the
current number of learned FDB entries.

Example:

# ip -d -j -p link show br0
[ {
...
"linkinfo": {
"info_kind": "bridge",
"info_data": {
...
"fdb_n_learned_entries": 2,
"fdb_max_learned_entries": 0,
...
}
},
...
} ]
# ip link set br0 type bridge fdb_max_learned_entries 1024
# ip -d -j -p link show br0
[ {
...
"linkinfo": {
"info_kind": "bridge",
"info_data": {
...
"fdb_n_learned_entries": 2,
"fdb_max_learned_entries": 1024,
...
}
},
...
} ]

Changes since v2:
- Properly split the net-next and iproute2-next threads. (from review)
- Changed to *_n_* instead of *_cur_*. (from review)
- Use strcmp() instead of matches(). (from review)
- Made names in code and documentation consistent. (from review)
- Various documentation fixes. (from review)

Changes since v1:
- Sent out the first corresponding iproute2 patches.
