Johannes Nixdorf ddd1ad6882 net: bridge: Add netlink knobs for number / max learned FDB entries
The previous patch added accounting and a limit for the number of
dynamically learned FDB entries per bridge. However it did not provide
means to actually configure those bounds or read back the count. This
patch does that.

Two new netlink attributes are added for the accounting and limit of
dynamically learned FDB entries:
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_N_LEARNED (RO) for the number of entries accounted for
   a single bridge.
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_LEARNED (RW) for the configured limit of entries for
   the bridge.

The new attributes are used like this:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge fdb_max_learned 256
 # ip link add name v1 up master br type veth peer v2
 # ip link set up dev v2
 # mausezahn -a rand -c 1024 v2
 0.01 seconds (90877 packets per second
 # bridge fdb | grep -v permanent | wc -l
 256
 # ip -d link show dev br
 13: br: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 [...]
     [...] fdb_n_learned 256 fdb_max_learned 256

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.
