      bridge: allow forwarding some link local frames · 515853cc
      stephen hemminger 提交于
      This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments
      by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience
      this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements,
      and compatibility with earlier releases.
      
      It adds a new sysfs attribute
         /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask
      that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X
      The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility.
      
      One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group
      addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This
      choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards.
      I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow
      the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default.
      
      The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward
      known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts
      to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows
      forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.
