Allow the bridge driver to mark packets that did not match a layer 2
entry during forwarding by adding a 'l2_miss' bit to the skb.
Clear the bit whenever a packet enters the bridge (received from a
bridge port or transmitted via the bridge) and set it if the packet did
not match an FDB/MDB entry.
Subsequent patches will allow the flower classifier to match on this
bit. The motivating use case in non-DF (Designated Forwarder) filtering
where we would like to prevent decapsulated packets from being flooded
to a multi-homed host.
Do not allocate the bit if the kernel was not compiled with bridge
support and place it after the two bit fields in accordance with commit
4c60d04c2888 ("net: skbuff: push nf_trace down the bitfield"). The bit
does not increase the size of the structure as it is placed at an
existing hole. Layout with allmodconfig:
struct sk_buff {
[...]
__u8 csum_not_inet:1; /* 132: 3 1 */
__u8 l2_miss:1; /* 132: 4 1 */
/* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */
/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */
__u16 tc_index; /* 134 2 */
u16 alloc_cpu; /* 136 2 */
[...]
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
