2017-11-02net: bridge: add notifications for the bridge dev on vlan changeNikolay Aleksandrov1-3/+3
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.

2017-02-06bridge: move to workqueue gcNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+1
Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10 milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.

2016-12-10net: bridge: shorten ageing time on topology changeVivien Didelot1-0/+27
802.1D [1] specifies that the bridges must use a short value to age out dynamic entries in the Filtering Database for a period, once a topology change has been communicated by the root bridge. Add a bridge_ageing_time member in the net_bridge structure to store the bridge ageing time value configured by the user (ioctl/netlink/sysfs). If we are using in-kernel STP, shorten the ageing time value to twice the forward delay used by the topology when the topology change flag is set. When the flag is cleared, restore the configured ageing time.

2015-12-15switchdev: Pass original device to port netdev driverIdo Schimmel1-0/+2
switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port. However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute. This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device and act accordingly.

2015-11-10Revert "bridge: Allow forward delay to be cfgd when STP enabled"Vlad Yasevich1-4/+9
This reverts commit 34c2d9fb0498c066afbe610b15e18995fd8be792. There are 2 reasons for this revert: 1) The commit in question doesn't do what it says it does. The description reads: "Allow bridge forward delay to be configured when Spanning Tree is enabled." This was already the case before the commit was made. What the commit actually do was disallow invalid values or 'forward_delay' when STP was turned off. 2) The above change was actually a change in the user observed behavior and broke things like libvirt and other network configs that set 'forward_delay' to 0 without enabling STP. The value of 0 is actually used when STP is turned off to immediately mark the bridge as forwarding. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

These should be handled only by the respective STP which is in control. They become problematic for devices with limited resources with many ports because the hold_timer is per port and fires each second and the hello timer fires each 2 seconds even though it's global. While in user-space STP mode these timers are completely unnecessary so it's better to keep them off. Also ensure that when the bridge is up these timers are started only when running with kernel STP.

2013-09-12bridge: Clamp forward_delay when enabling STPHerbert Xu1-6/+15
At some point limits were added to forward_delay. However, the limits are only enforced when STP is enabled. This created a scenario where you could have a value outside the allowed range while STP is disabled, which then stuck around even after STP is enabled. This patch fixes this by clamping the value when we enable STP. I had to move the locking around a bit to ensure that there is no window where someone could insert a value outside the range while we're in the middle of enabling STP.

A bridge topology with three systems: +------+ +------+ | A(2) |--| B(1) | +------+ +------+ \ / +------+ | C(3) | +------+ What is supposed to happen: * bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B) * C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state. The root cause of this is that the configuration messages is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before sending. In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be: the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU. Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to learn about other bridges before nominating itself. The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table.

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all packets for the first 20 seconds.

2008-08-05bridge: Eliminate unnecessary forward delayStephen Hemminger1-7/+18
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Based upon original patch by Herbert Xu, which contained the following problem description: -------------------- When the forward delay is set to zero, we still delay the setting of the forwarding state by one or possibly two timers depending on whether STP is enabled. This could either turn out to be instantaneous, or horribly slow depending on the load of the machine. As there is nothing preventing us from enabling forwarding straight away, this patch eliminates this potential delay by executing the code directly if the forward delay is zero. The effect of this problem is that immediately after the carrier comes on a port, the bridge will drop all packets received from that port until it enters forwarding mode, thus causing unnecessary packet loss. Note that this patch doesn't fully remove the delay due to the link watcher. We should also check the carrier state when we are about to drop an incoming packet because the port is disabled. But that's for another patch. -------------------- This version of the fix takes a different approach, in that it just does the state change directly. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-19rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.hFranck Bui-Huu1-0/+1
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h. This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

2007-05-31[BRIDGE]: Round off STP perodic timers.Stephen Hemminger1-1/+2
Peroidic STP timers don't have to be exact. The hold timer runs at 1HZ, and the hello timer normally runs at 2HZ; save power by aligning it them to next second. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
