Allow for more multicast router port information to be dumped such as
timer and type attributes. For that that purpose we need to extend the
MDBA_ROUTER_PORT attribute similar to how it was done for the mdb entries
recently. The new format is thus:
[MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { &lt;- nested attribute
    u32 ifindex &lt;- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility
    [MDBA_ROUTER_PATTR attributes]
}
This way it remains compatible with older users (they'll simply retrieve
the u32 in the beginning) and new users can parse the remaining
attributes. It would also allow to add future extensions to the router
port without breaking compatibility.

Add support for a temporary router port which doesn't depend only on the

Currently mdb entries are exported directly as a structure inside
MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO attribute, we can't really extend it without
breaking user-space. In order to export new mdb fields, I've converted
the MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO into a nested attribute which starts like before
with struct br_mdb_entry (without header, as it's casted directly in
iproute2) and continues with MDBA_MDB_EATTR_ attributes. This way we
keep compatibility with older users and can export new data.
I've tested this with iproute2, both with and without support for the
added attribute and it works fine.
So basically we again have MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO with struct br_mdb_entry
inside but it may contain also some additional MDBA_MDB_EATTR_ attributes
such as MDBA_MDB_EATTR_TIMER which can be parsed by user-space.

So the new structure is:
[MDBA_MDB] = {
     [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY] = {
         [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO]
         [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO] { &lt;- Nested attribute
             struct br_mdb_entry &lt;- nla_put_nohdr()
             [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY attributes] &lt;- normal netlink attributes
         }
     }
}

<title>bridge: vlan: add per-vlan struct and move to rhashtables</title>

<id>2594e9064a57634efc146ff4e89a5de562e05011</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables
instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we
need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more
advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be
extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is
changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch.
A few short goals of this patch are:
- Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list
- Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc)
- Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come
  later)

Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce:
- per-vlan counters
- vlan ingress/egress mapping
- per-vlan igmp configuration
- vlan priorities
- avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues)

The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to
avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce
"port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further
(thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!).

Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port
rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its
global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a
sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible
behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths.
VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the
rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries.
A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps
per-vlan data.
One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up
in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an
existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper
br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the
lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be
skipped.

Things tested so far:
- basic vlan ingress/egress
- pvids
- untagged vlans
- undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING
- adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx,
  while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc)
- loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans
- extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests
- adding/deleting fdbs on vlans
- bridge mac change, promisc mode
- default pvid change
- kmemleak ON during the whole time

Until now all user mdb entries were added in vlan 0, this patch adds
support to allow the user to specify the vlan for the entry.
About the uapi change a hole in struct br_mdb_entry is used so the size
and offsets are kept the same (verified with pahole and tested with older
iproute2).

Example:
$ bridge mdb
dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent vlan 2000
dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent vlan 200
dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent

This patch changes bridge IFLA_AF_SPEC netlink attribute parser to
look for more than one IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO attribute. This allows
userspace to pack more than one vlan in the setlink msg.

The dumps were already sending more than one vlan info in the getlink msg.

This patch also adds bridge_vlan_info flags BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_RANGE_BEGIN and
BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_RANGE_END to indicate start and end of vlan range

This patch also deletes unused ifla_br_policy.
