[PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: bridge: cfm: count CFM config attributes in the link message size
From: Abdul Wasey
Date: Mon Oct 05 2026 - 00:41:16 EST
br_get_link_af_size_filtered() only counts the CFM attributes when
RTEXT_FILTER_CFM_STATUS is set. With RTEXT_FILTER_CFM_CONFIG alone it
returns before counting anything, while br_fill_ifinfo() still writes
the whole config, about 250 bytes per MEP and 20 per peer MEP.
Dumps cope with that, they just get a bigger buffer. A message built by
br_info_notify() can't, it fails with -EMSGSIZE and hits the WARN_ON
there. No notification asks for the CFM config today, but the next
patch adds one.
Count the config attributes when RTEXT_FILTER_CFM_CONFIG is set.
