Currently the bridge does not provide real-time feedback to user space

This patch set adds support to notify user space about failed offload
attempts, and is controlled by a new knob mdb_offload_fail_notification.

A break-down of the patches in the series:

Patch 1 adds offload failed flag to indicate that the offload attempt
has failed. The flag is reflected in netlink mdb entry flags.

Patch 2 adds the new bridge bool option mdb_offload_fail_notification.

Patch 3 notifies user space when the result is known, controlled by
mdb_offload_fail_notification setting.

You submitted this during the merge window, when the net-next tree
was closed. See:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
Could you repost so that the series will be re-enqueued?

Thanks!

Sure thing!

A couple of questions:

- Should the re-post be v3 (no change) or v4 (bump)?
- Do I re-post after 6.15 is released? Around what time frame (so that I can set a reminder)?

Thanks,
Joseph
