2018-03-31net: bridge: disable bridge MTU auto tuning if it was set manuallyNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+1
As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

2018-03-31net: bridge: set min MTU on port events and allow user to set maxNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+1
Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

2018-03-23bridge: Allow max MTU when multiple VLANs presentChas Williams1-1/+1
If the bridge is allowing multiple VLANs, some VLANs may have different MTUs. Instead of choosing the minimum MTU for the bridge interface, choose the maximum MTU of the bridge members. With this the user only needs to set a larger MTU on the member ports that are participating in the large MTU VLANS.

2017-11-02net: bridge: add notifications for the bridge dev on vlan changeNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+1
Currently the bridge device doesn't generate any notifications upon vlan modifications on itself because it doesn't use the generic bridge notifications. With the recent changes we know if anything was modified in the vlan config thus we can generate a notification when necessary for the bridge device so add support to br_ifinfo_notify() similar to how other combined functions are done - if port is present it takes precedence, otherwise notify about the bridge. I've explicitly marked the locations where the notification should be always for the port by setting bridge to NULL. I've also taken the liberty to rearrange each modified function's local variables in reverse xmas tree as well.

2017-06-08net: bridge: Receive notification about successful FDB offloadArkadi Sharshevsky1-1/+10
When a new static FDB is added to the bridge a notification is sent to the driver for offload. In case of successful offload the driver should notify the bridge back, which in turn should mark the FDB as offloaded. Currently, externally learned is equivalent for being offloaded which is not correct due to the fact that FDBs which are added from user-space are also marked as externally learned. In order to specify if an FDB was successfully offloaded a new flag is introduced.

2017-06-08net: bridge: Add support for notifying devices about FDB add/delArkadi Sharshevsky1-2/+2
Currently the bridge doesn't notify the underlying devices about new FDBs learned. The FDB sync is placed on the switchdev notifier chain because devices may potentially learn FDB that are not directly related to their ports, for example: 1. Mixed SW/HW bridge - FDBs that point to the ASICs external devices should be offloaded as CPU traps in order to perform forwarding in slow path. 2. EVPN - Externally learned FDBs for the vtep device. Notification is sent only about static FDB add/del. This is done due to fact that currently this is the only scenario supported by switch drivers.

2016-01-28switchdev: Require RTNL mutex to be held when sending FDB notificationsIdo Schimmel1-2/+1
When switchdev drivers process FDB notifications from the underlying device they resolve the netdev to which the entry points to and notify the bridge using the switchdev notifier. However, since the RTNL mutex is not held there is nothing preventing the netdev from disappearing in the middle, which will cause br_switchdev_event() to dereference a non-existing netdev. Make switchdev drivers hold the lock at the beginning of the notification processing session and release it once it ends, after notifying the bridge. Also, remove switchdev_mutex and fdb_lock, as they are no longer needed when RTNL mutex is held.

2014-09-26netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the corePablo Neira Ayuso1-6/+8
Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that don't need this. This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus, the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that. Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe bridge' or via automatic load through brctl. However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter. The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that didn't notice that this has been deprecated. On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users seem to require. This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.

Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink. This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding. Example: # ip link add link dev br0 type bridge # ip link del dev br0 The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback to deal with allocation failure.

2010-06-02net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5Jiri Pirko1-2/+0
What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device. Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register an rx_handler for needed net device.

2008-04-29bridge: kernel panic when unloading bridge moduleBodo Stroesser1-1/+1
There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter. The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko. br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which is NULL. Moving the call of br_netfilter_fini() to the end of br_deinit() solves the problem.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
