net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

bridge: allow forwarding some link local frames

2011-10-06T19:27:56+00:00

This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments
by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience
this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements,
and compatibility with earlier releases.

It adds a new sysfs attribute
   /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask
that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X
The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility.

One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group
addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This
choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards.
I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow
the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default.

The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward
known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts
to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows
forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

bridge: Always flood broadcast packets

2011-07-06T01:39:39+00:00

As is_multicast_ether_addr returns true on broadcast packets as
well, we need to explicitly exclude broadcast packets so that
they're always flooded.  This wasn't an issue before as broadcast
packets were considered to be an unregistered multicast group,
which were always flooded.  However, as we now only flood such
packets to router ports, this is no longer acceptable.

Revert "bridge: Forward reserved group addresses if !STP"

2011-04-22T04:17:25+00:00

This reverts commit 1e253c3b8a1aeed51eef6fc366812f219b97de65.

It breaks 802.3ad bonding inside of a bridge.

The commit was meant to support transport bridging, and specifically
virtual machines bridged to an ethernet interface connected to a
switch port wiht 802.1x enabled.

But this isn't the way to do it, it breaks too many other things.

net: introduce rx_handler results and logic around that

2011-03-16T19:53:54+00:00

This patch allows rx_handlers to better signalize what to do next to
it's caller. That makes skb->deliver_no_wcard no longer needed.

kernel-doc for rx_handler_result is taken from Nicolas' patch.

bridge: Replace mp->mglist hlist with a bool

2011-02-12T09:05:42+00:00

As it turns out we never need to walk through the list of multicast
groups subscribed by the bridge interface itself (the only time we'd
want to do that is when we shut down the bridge, in which case we
simply walk through all multicast groups), we don't really need to
keep an hlist for mp->mglist.

This means that we can replace it with just a single bit to indicate
whether the bridge interface is subscribed to a group.

bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook

2010-11-15T19:13:16+00:00

Add br_should_route_hook_t typedef, this is the only way we can
get a clean RCU implementation for function pointer.

Move route_hook to location where it is used.

bridge: Forward reserved group addresses if !STP

2010-10-21T11:25:48+00:00

Make all frames sent to reserved group MAC addresses (01:80:c2:00:00:00 to
01:80:c2:00:00:0f) be forwarded if STP is disabled. This enables
forwarding EAPOL frames, among other things.
