Hi,
If I seen corectly the normal bridge flush will clear the entire FDB for
all the ports of the bridge. In this case it is require to clear FDB
entries only for the ring ports.
Maybe it would be better to extend the current bridge netlink call to
be able to pass an optional interface to be flushed? I'm not sure it
is a good idea to have two APIs doing very similar things.
I agree.
And when looking at this again, I start to think that we should have
extended the existing netlink interface with new commands, instead of
adding a generic netlink.
