Merge branch 'bridge-rx-simplify-fwd-consolidate'
Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: simplify receive path and consolidate forwarding paths This set tries to simplify the receive and forwarding paths. Patch 01 is a trivial style adjustment, patch 02 removes one conditional from the unicast fast path, patch 03 removes another conditional and more imporantly removes the skb0/skb2 ambiguity about locally receiving the skb and switches to a boolean called "local_rcv". Patch 04 is the most important change which consolidates the forwarding paths for locally originated and forwarded packets into __br_forward. This allows us to remove the function pointers giving a minor performance boost, more importantly it makes it much easier to reason about the forwarding path and reduces the code duplication that was needed when making changes. Also it allows the receive path to fully setup the environment prior to calling any forwarding functions (i.e. to properly set unicast, local_rcv and search for unicast/mcast dst). Functionally everything should stay the same after this set. I've done basic tests with unicast/multicast/broadcast Tx/Rx. Please review carefully. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
