bridge: handle process all link-local frames

2008-06-17T23:09:45+00:00

Any frame addressed to link-local addresses should be processed by local
receive path. The earlier code would process them only if STP was enabled.
Since there are other frames like LACP for bonding, we should always
process them.

bridge: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.

2008-05-21T21:13:47+00:00

Even though bridges require 6 fields from struct net_device_stats,
the on-device stats are always there, so we may just use them.

The br_dev_get_stats is no longer required after this.

[BRIDGE]: Properly dereference the br_should_route_hook

2007-11-29T12:58:58+00:00

This hook is protected with the RCU, so simple

	if (br_should_route_hook)
		br_should_route_hook(...)

is not enough on some architectures.

Use the rcu_dereference/rcu_assign_pointer in this case.

Fixed Stephen's comment concerning using the typeof().

[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

2007-10-15T19:26:29+00:00

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.

[BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry

2007-10-15T19:26:27+00:00

Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a
shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code).  So it
makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly
simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter).

[BRIDGE]: Kill clone argument to br_flood_*

2007-09-16T23:20:48+00:00

The clone argument is only used by one caller and that caller can clone
the packet itself.  This patch moves the clone call into the caller and
kills the clone argument.

[BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.

2007-08-31T05:15:35+00:00

This patch fixes some packet leakage in bridge.  The bridging code was
allowing forward table entries to be generated even if a device was
being blocked. The fix is to not add forwarding database entries
unless the port is active.

The bug arose as part of the conversion to processing STP frames
through normal receive path (in 2.6.17).
