Petr Machata d47230a348 net: bridge: Add a tracepoint for MDB overflows
The following patch will add two more maximum MDB allowances to the global
one, mcast_hash_max, that exists today. In all these cases, attempts to add
MDB entries above the configured maximums through netlink, fail noisily and
obviously. Such visibility is missing when adding entries through the
control plane traffic, by IGMP or MLD packets.

To improve visibility in those cases, add a trace point that reports the
violation, including the relevant netdevice (be it a slave or the bridge
itself), and the MDB entry parameters:

	# perf record -e bridge:br_mdb_full &
	# [...]
	# perf script | cut -d: -f4-

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.
