Hello, I am trying to expose MAC/VLAN ACL and pvid settings for IBM
VNIC devices to administrators through devlink (originally through

give any tips on how you might go about doing this?
Tom, I believe you need to provide more info about what exactly do you
need to setup. But from what you wrote, it seems like you are looking
for bridge/tc offload. The infra is already in place and drivers are
implementing it. See mlxsw for example.
I think Tom's use case is effectively exposing the the VF which VLANs
and what MAC addrs it can use. Plus it's pvid. See:

Thanks, Jakub,
Right now, the use-case is to expose the allowed VLAN's and MAC
addresses and the VF's PVID. Other use-cases may be explored later on
though.
