From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 23:53:33 +0000 (-0700) Subject: bridge: forwarding table information for >256 devices X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~5^2~9 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae4f8fca4030a4e783fa4ccb0c9d8d8a8cf60a32;p=pandora-kernel.git bridge: forwarding table information for >256 devices The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to 256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so the upper bits are lost when doing: brctl showmacs The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.
