Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] net: Support filtering interfaces on no master

From: Lahav Schlesinger <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 07:27:43 +0000

Currently there's support for filtering neighbours/links for interfaces
which have a specific master device (using the IFLA_MASTER/NDA_MASTER
attributes).

This patch adds support for filtering interfaces/neighbours dump for
interfaces that *don't* have a master.

I have a patch for iproute2 ready for adding this support in userspace.

v2 -> v3
 - Change the way 'master' is checked for being non NULL
v1 -> v2
 - Change from filtering just for non VRF slaves to non slaves at all
