This patch adds a new mode of operation to macvlan, called "source".
It allows one to set a list of allowed mac address, which is used
to match against source mac address from received frames on underlying
interface.
This enables creating mac based VLAN associations, instead of standard
port or tag based. The feature is useful to deploy 802.1x mac based
behavior, where drivers of underlying interfaces doesn't allows that.
Configuration is done through the netlink interface using e.g.:
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 type macvlan mode source
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan1 type macvlan mode source
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:11:11:11:11:11
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:22:22:22:22:22
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33
ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33
ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:44:44:44:44:44
This allows clients with MAC addresses 00:11:11:11:11:11,
00:22:22:22:22:22 to be part of only VLAN associated with macvlan0
interface. Clients with MAC addresses 00:44:44:44:44:44 with only VLAN
associated with macvlan1 interface. And client with MAC address
00:33:33:33:33:33 to be associated with both VLANs.
