Vlad Yasevich 243a2e63f5 bridge: Add vlan filtering infrastructure
Adds an optional infrustructure component to bridge that would allow
native vlan filtering in the bridge.  Each bridge port (as well
as the bridge device) now get a VLAN bitmap.  Each bit in the bitmap
is associated with a vlan id.  This way if the bit corresponding to
the vid is set in the bitmap that the packet with vid is allowed to
enter and exit the port.

Write access the bitmap is protected by RTNL and read access
protected by RCU.

Vlan functionality is disabled by default.

If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
other third party bridge products.
In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
information.
If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called bridge.
If unsure, say N.
config BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING

---help---
If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively
forward multicast traffic based on IGMP/MLD traffic received from
each port.
Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
If unsure, say Y.

---help---
If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively
receive and forward traffic based on VLAN information in the packet
any VLAN information configured on the bridge port or bridge device.
Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
If unsure, say Y.
