vxlan fdb replace an existing entry
Add support to replace an existing entry found in the vxlan fdb database. The entry in question is identified by its unicast mac address and the destination information is changed. If the entry is not found, it is added in the forwarding database. This is similar to changing an entry in the neighbour table. Multicast mac addresses can not be changed with the replace option. This is useful for virtual machine migration when the destination of a target virtual machine changes. The replace feature can be used instead of delete followed by add. Resubmitted because net-next was closed last week. Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
