# # 802.1d Ethernet Bridging # config BRIDGE tristate "802.1d Ethernet Bridging" select LLC select STP depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n ---help--- If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants. Several such bridges can work together to create even larger networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm. As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with other third party bridge products. In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge configuration tools; see for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more information. If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall. iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to take this into account when setting up your firewall rules. Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called bridge. If unsure, say N. config BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING bool "IGMP/MLD snooping" depends on BRIDGE depends on INET default y ---help--- If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively forward multicast traffic based on IGMP/MLD traffic received from each port. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. If unsure, say Y. config BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING bool "VLAN filtering" depends on BRIDGE depends on VLAN_8021Q default n ---help--- If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively receive and forward traffic based on VLAN information in the packet any VLAN information configured on the bridge port or bridge device. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size. If unsure, say Y. >diff

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner: "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to timers/timekeeping. - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really helpful and caused more confusion than clarity - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations some time ago. That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up. Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of manual mopping up" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: ktime: Get rid of ktime_equal() ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage ktime: Get rid of the union clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t
