In case hardware sends more device-to-bridge-address-change notfications than the qeth-l2 driver can handle, the hardware will send an overflow event and then stop sending any events. It expects software to flush its FDB and start over again. Re-enabling address-change-notification will report all current addresses. In order to re-enable address-change-notification this patch defines the functions qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set() and qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set_cb to enable or disable dev-to-bridge-address-notification. A following patch will use the learning_sync bridgeport flag to trigger enabling or disabling of address-change-notification, so we define priv->brport_features to store the current setting. BRIDGE_INFO and ADDR_INFO functionality are mutually exclusive, whereas ADDR_INFO and qeth_l2_vnicc* can be used together. Alternative implementations to handle buffer overflow: Just re-enabling notification and adding all newly reported addresses would cover any lost 'add' events, but not the lost 'delete' events. Then these invalid addresses would stay in the bridge FDB as long as the device exists. Setting the net device down and up, would be an alternative, but is a bit drastic. If the net device has many secondary addresses this will create many delete/add events at its peers which could de-stabilize the network segment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
