2021-03-17Documentation: networking: switchdev: add missing "and" wordVladimir Oltean1-1/+1
Even though this is clear from the context, it is nice to actually be grammatically correct.

2021-03-17Documentation: networking: switchdev: separate bulleted items with new lineVladimir Oltean1-0/+1
It looks like "make htmldocs" produces this warning: Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst:482: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.

2021-03-17Documentation: networking: switchdev: fix command for static FDB entriesVladimir Oltean1-12/+35
The "bridge fdb add" command provided in the switchdev documentation is junk now, not only because it is syntactically incorrect and rejected by the iproute2 bridge program, but also because it was not updated in light of Arkadi Sharshevsky's radical switchdev refactoring in commit 29ab586c3d83 ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from switchdev"). Try to explain what the intended usage pattern is with the new kernel implementation.

2021-03-17Documentation: networking: switchdev: clarify device driver behaviorFlorian Fainelli1-0/+152
This patch provides details on the expected behavior of switchdev enabled network devices when operating in a "stand alone" mode, as well as when being bridge members. This clarifies a number of things that recently came up during a bug fixing session on the b53 DSA switch driver.
