Hi all,
This patch series implements a L2 only interface concept which basically denies
any kind of IP address configuration on these interfaces, but still allows them
to be used as configuration end-points to keep using ethtool and friends.
This is a very interesting idea. A few questions/thoughts: will there
be any eventual restrictions on which types interfaces can be L2_ONLY?
Ideally, it should be possible to let interfaces wink in/out of L2 only
state administratively (as can be done on a typical router, after unwinding
existing config as needed)
I'm assuming something will prevent an L2-only interface from being
part of a vrf.
The VRF driver can check the device when the enslave request happens.
