[PATCH net-next v3 5/6] net: bridge: Add a configurable default FDB learning limit

[Johannes Nixdorf]

Add a Kconfig option to configure a default FDB learning limit system
wide, so a distributor building a special purpose kernel can limit all
created bridges by default.

The limit is only a soft default setting and overrideable on a per bridge
basis using netlink.
