ENUM MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK(9)
π enum mxl862xx_bridge_config_mask(9) β Kernel API Manual, section 9 π
okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-API girlies) and today's main character is enum mxl862xx_bridge_config_mask β literally the bridge configuration mask. it's giving "which bridge settings am i even talking about" energy and honestly? iconic. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
enum mxl862xx_bridge_config_mask β the Bridge configuration mask. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. ngl it's a mask for bridge config stuff, and we're about to meet every single one of its members. no skipping, bestie. π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the whole enum, laid out exactly like the kernel gods wrote it β copy it, don't touch it, don't "fix" the commas:
enum mxl862xx_bridge_config_mask {
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_MAC_LEARNING_LIMIT ,
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_MAC_LEARNED_COUNT ,
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_MAC_DISCARD_COUNT ,
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_SUB_METER ,
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_FORWARDING_MODE ,
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_ALL ,
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_FORCE
};
seven constants. all of them matter. let's gooo π₯
π¦ Constants π¦
MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_MAC_LEARNING_LIMITβ the mask formac_learning_limit_enableandmac_learning_limit. two fields, one mask, we love efficiency πMXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_MAC_LEARNED_COUNTβ the mask formac_learning_count. that's it, that's the whole job πMXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_MAC_DISCARD_COUNTβ the mask forlearning_discard_event. learning! discarding! counting! the drama πMXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_SUB_METERβ the mask forsub_metering_enableandtraffic_sub_meter_id. yes bestie, metering, but sub π§MXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_FORWARDING_MODEβ the mask forforward_broadcast,forward_unknown_multicast_ip,forward_unknown_multicast_non_ipandforward_unknown_unicast. that's a whole squad of forwarding fields under one flag, highkey efficient πMXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_ALLβ Enable all. everything. the whole buffet. πMXL862XX_BRIDGE_CONFIG_MASK_FORCEβ Bypass any check for debug purpose. read that again: it bypasses checks, and it's for debug. it's a debug tool, bestie, not a lifestyle. π

that's a lot of cross-references and every single one of them ate. periodt. π
lowkey reminder: the FORCE member bypasses checks for debug purposes β it's a debug escape hatch, not a personality trait. use it on purpose, bestie. π
okay and that's the whole page, mwah π this one lives in ./drivers/net/dsa/mxl862xx, it's dated October 2026, and the page is enum mxl862x..._config_mask(9). iykyk π slay responsibly β¨
