      bridge: bridge port parameters over netlink · 25c71c75
      stephen hemminger authored
      Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested
      message, this can be used for other bridge parameters.
      
      This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested
      set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the
      old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses
       IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED.
      
      The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays
      compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field
      for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old
      code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use
      with old versions of bridge monitor command.
      
      Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a
      full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more
      values (like macvlan has).
