This patch was previously submitted as the first approach in RFC http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libnl/2012-November/000730.html It adds support for AF_BRIDGE family in link cache. And the key for link object lookups will now be ifindex and family. This allows for AF_UNSPEC rtnl link objects to co-exist with the AF_BRIDGE link objects in the same cache. I have changed some of the rtnl_link api's to explicitly check for AF_UNSPEC to not break existing apps. I will submit a new patch to introduce equivalent rtnl_bridge_link_* api's. We had also discussed updating the existing link objects with AF_BRIDGE attributes, but realized that the updates to link objects will be both AF_UNSPEC and AF_BRIDGE. And that would change link cache to always update existing objects, resulting in comparing and updating close to thirty attributes at cache_include time which seems like a overkill.
