From 02723cf230bfedb0918ae8a119d20cf4fd65091b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivien Didelot Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 11:33:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: make mcast_flood description consistent This patch simply changes the description of the mcast_flood flag with "flood" instead of "be flooded with" to avoid confusion, and be consistent with the description of the flooding flag, which "Controls whether a given port will *flood* unicast traffic for which there is no FDB entry." At the same time, fix the documentation for the "flood" flag which is incorrectly described as "flooding on" or "flooding off".
