It should be simple, removing the following code from
br_input.c::br_handle_frame_finish() should probably be enough:
dst = br_fdb_get(br, dest);
if (dst != NULL && dst->is_local) {
if (!passedup)
br_pass_frame_up(br, skb);
else
kfree_skb(skb);
br_fdb_put(dst);
goto out;
}
if (dst != NULL) {
br_forward(dst->dst, skb);
br_fdb_put(dst);
goto out;
}
It would probably be interesting to have a bridge userspace tool option so
that the bridge acts like a hub, which is basically what you want.
cheers,
Bart
