Alexandra Winter 521c65b649 s390/qeth: implement ndo_bridge_setlink for learning_sync 
Documentation/networking/switchdev.txt and 'man bridge' indicate that the
learning_sync bridge attribute is used to control whether a given
device will sync MAC addresses learned on its device port to a master
bridge FDB, where they will show up as 'extern_learn offload'. So we map
qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set() to the learning_sync bridge link attribute.

Turning off learning_sync will flush all extern_learn entries from the
bridge fdb and all pending events from the card's work queue.

When the hardware interface goes offline with learning_sync on
(e.g. for HW recovery), all extern_learn entries will be flushed from the
bridge fdb and all pending events from the card's work queue. When the
interface goes online again, it will send new notifications for all then
valid MACs. learning_sync attribute can not be modified while interface is
offline. See
'commit e6e771b3d8 ("s390/qeth: detach netdevice while card is offline")'

An alternative implementation would be to always offload the 'learning'
attribute of a software bridge to the hardware interface attached to it
and thus implicitly enable fdb notification. This was not chosen for 2
reasons:
1) In our case the software bridge is NOT a representation of a hardware
switch. It is just connected to a smart NIC that is able to inform
about the addresses attached to it. It is not necessarily using source
MAC learning for this and other bridgeports can be attached to other
NICs with different properties.
2) We want a means to enable this notification explicitly. There may be
cases where a bridgeport is set to 'learning', but we do not want to
enable the notification.

README 

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.
