Subject: net: neighbor: add fdb extended attribute
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=899426b3bdd947541ba4af8c767575889c8b842a;p=linux.git

net: neighbor: add fdb extended attribute

Add an attribute to NDA which will contain all future fdb-specific
attributes in order to avoid polluting the NDA namespace with e.g.
bridge or vxlan specific attributes. The attribute is called
NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS and the structure would look like:
 [NDA_FDB_EXT_ATTRS] = {
    [NFEA_xxx]
 }
