Ido Schimmel says: ==================== bridge: mcast: Preparations for EVPN extensions This patchset was split from [1] and includes non-functional changes aimed at making it easier to add additional netlink attributes later on. Future extensions are available here [2]. The idea behind these patches is to create an MDB configuration structure into which netlink messages are parsed into. The structure is then passed in the entry creation / deletion call chain instead of passing the netlink attributes themselves. The same pattern is used by other rtnetlink objects such as routes and nexthops. I initially tried to extend the current code, but it proved to be too difficult, which is why I decided to refactor it to the extensible and familiar pattern used by other rtnetlink objects. Tested using existing selftests and using a new selftest that will be submitted together with the planned extensions.

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.
