bridge: Fix error path for kobject_init_and_add()

2019-05-10T22:05:08Z

Currently error return from kobject_init_and_add() is not followed by a call to kobject_put(). This means there is a memory leak. We currently set p to NULL so that kfree() may be called on it as a noop, the code is arguably clearer if we move the kfree() up closer to where it is called (instead of after goto jump). Remove a goto label 'err1' and jump to call to kobject_put() in error return from kobject_init_and_add() fixing the memory leak. Re-name goto label 'put_back' to 'err1' now that we don't use err1, following current nomenclature (err1, err2 ...). Move call to kfree out of the error code at bottom of function up to closer to where memory was allocated. Add comment to clarify call to kfree(). Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

net: bridge: Issue NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR

2018-12-14T02:41:38Z

When a port is attached to a bridge, the address of the bridge in question may change as well. Even if it would not change at this point (because the current bridge address is lower), it might end up changing later as a result of detach of another port, which can't be vetoed. Therefore issue NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR regardless of whether the address will be used at this point or not, and make sure all involved parties would agree with the change.

net: bridge: Propagate extack to switchdev

2018-12-13T00:34:21Z

ndo_bridge_setlink has been updated in the previous patch to have extack available, and changelink RTNL op has had this argument since the time extack was added. Propagate both through the bridge driver to eventually reach br_switchdev_port_vlan_add(), where it will be used by subsequent patches.

net: bridge: add support for backup port

2018-07-23T16:32:15Z

This patch adds a new port attribute - IFLA_BRPORT_BACKUP_PORT, which allows to set a backup port to be used for known unicast traffic if the port has gone carrier down. The backup pointer is rcu protected and set only under RTNL, a counter is maintained so when deleting a port we know how many other ports reference it as a backup and we remove it from all. Also the pointer is in the first cache line which is hot at the time of the check and thus in the common case we only add one more test. The backup port will be used only for the non-flooding case since it's a part of the bridge and the flooded packets will be forwarded to it anyway. To remove the forwarding just send a 0/non-existing backup port. This is used to avoid numerous scalability problems when using MLAG most notably if we have thousands of fdbs one would need to change all of them on port carrier going down which takes too long and causes a storm of fdb notifications (and again when the port comes back up). In a Multi-chassis Link Aggregation setup usually hosts are connected to two different switches which act as a single logical switch. Those switches usually have a control and backup link between them called peerlink which might be used for communication in case a host loses connectivity to one of them. We need a fast way to failover in case a host port goes down and currently none of the solutions (like bond) cannot fulfill the requirements because the participating ports are actually the "master" devices and must have the same peerlink as their backup interface and at the same time all of them must participate in the bridge device. As Roopa noted it's normal practice in routing called fast re-route where a precalculated backup path is used when the main one is down. Another use case of this is with EVPN, having a single vxlan device which is backup of every port. Due to the nature of master devices it's not currently possible to use one device as a backup for many and still have all of them participate in the bridge (which is master itself). More detailed information about MLAG is available at the link below. https://docs.cumulusnetworks.com/display/DOCS/Multi-Chassis+Link+Aggregation+-+MLAG Further explanation and a diagram by Roopa: Two switches acting in a MLAG pair are connected by the peerlink interface which is a bridge port. the config on one of the switches looks like the below. The other switch also has a similar config. eth0 is connected to one port on the server. And the server is connected to both switches. br0 -- team0---eth0 | -- switch-peerlink Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
