This adds a Kconfig option to configure a default FDB learning limit system wide, so a distributor building a special purpose kernel can limit all created bridges by default.
The limit is only a soft default setting and overridable per bridge using netlink. Signed-off-by: Johannes Nixdorf <[email protected]> --- Changes since v1: - Added a default limit in Kconfig.
