<content type='text'>
The original idea of the delay_time check was to not apply multicast
snooping too early when an MLD querier appears. And to instead wait at
least for MLD reports to arrive before switching from flooding to group
based, MLD snooped forwarding, to avoid temporary packet loss.

However in a batman-adv mesh network it was noticed that after 248 days of
uptime 32bit MIPS based devices would start to signal that they had
stopped applying multicast snooping due to missing queriers - even though
they were the elected querier and still sending MLD queries themselves.

While time_is_before_jiffies() generally is safe against jiffies
wrap-arounds, like the code comments in jiffies.h explain, it won't
be able to track a difference larger than ULONG_MAX/2. With a 32bit
large jiffies and one jiffies tick every 10ms (CONFIG_HZ=100) on these MIPS
devices running OpenWrt this would result in a difference larger than
ULONG_MAX/2 after 248 (= 2^32/100/60/60/24/2) days and
time_is_before_jiffies() would then start to return false instead of
true. Leading to multicast snooping not being applied to multicast
packets anymore.

Fix this issue by using a proper timer_list object which won't have this
ULONG_MAX/2 difference limitation.

<title>net: bridge: Add netlink knobs for number / maximum MDB entries</title>

<id>a1aee20d5db29dc73331067b6a338eb650f0b5f1</id>

The previous patch added accounting for number of MDB entries per port and
per port-VLAN, and the logic to verify that these values stay within
configured bounds. However it didn't provide means to actually configure
those bounds or read the occupancy. This patch does that.

Two new netlink attributes are added for the MDB occupancy:
IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_N_GROUPS for the per-port occupancy and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_MCAST_N_GROUPS for the per-port-VLAN occupancy.
And another two for the maximum number of MDB entries:
IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_MAX_GROUPS for the per-port maximum, and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_MCAST_MAX_GROUPS for the per-port-VLAN one.

Note that the two new IFLA_BRPORT_ attributes prompt bumping of
RTNL_SLAVE_MAX_TYPE to size the slave attribute tables large enough.

The new attributes are used like this:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1 \
                                      mcast_vlan_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1

<title>net: bridge: Maintain number of MDB entries in net_bridge_mcast_port</title>

<id>b57e8d870d522d905720052e6fd9c3bc9bc5f6fb</id>
<content type='text'>
The MDB maintained by the bridge is limited. When the bridge is configured
for IGMP / MLD snooping, a buggy or malicious client can easily exhaust its
capacity. In SW datapath, the capacity is configurable through the
IFLA_BR_MCAST_HASH_MAX parameter, but ultimately is finite. Obviously a
similar limit exists in the HW datapath for purposes of offloading.

In order to prevent the issue of unilateral exhaustion of MDB resources,
introduce two parameters in each of two contexts:

- Per-port and per-port-VLAN number of MDB entries that the port
  is member in.

- Per-port and (when BROPT_MCAST_VLAN_SNOOPING_ENABLED is enabled)
  per-port-VLAN maximum permitted number of MDB entries, or 0 for
  no limit.

The per-port multicast context is used for tracking of MDB entries for the
port as a whole. This is available for all bridges.

The per-port-VLAN multicast context is then only available on
VLAN-filtering bridges on VLANs that have multicast snooping on.

With these changes in place, it will be possible to configure MDB limit for
bridge as a whole, or any one port as a whole, or any single port-VLAN.

Note that unlike the global limit, exhaustion of the per-port and
per-port-VLAN maximums does not cause disablement of multicast snooping.
It is also permitted to configure the local limit larger than hash_max,
even though that is not useful.

In this patch, introduce only the accounting for number of entries, and the
max field itself, but not the means to toggle the max. The next patch
introduces the netlink APIs to toggle and read the values.

Since cleaning up the effects of br_multicast_new_port_group() just
consists of delisting and freeing the memory, the function
br_mdb_add_group_star_g() inlines the corresponding code. In the following
patches, number of per-port and per-port-VLAN MDB entries is going to be
maintained, and that counter will have to be updated. Because that logic
is going to be hidden in the br_multicast module, introduce a new hook
intended to again remove a newly-created group.

Now that br_multicast_new_port_group() takes an extack argument, move
setting the extack there. The downside is that the error messages end
up being less specific (the function cannot distinguish between (S,G)
and (*,G) groups). However, the alternative is to check in the caller
whether the callee set the extack, and if it didn't, set it. But that
is only done when the callee is not exactly known. (E.g. in case of a
notifier invocation.)

Make it possible to set an extack in br_multicast_new_port_group().
Eventually, this function will check for per-port and per-port-vlan
MDB maximums, and will use the extack to communicate the reason for
the bounce.

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    )
      ... when strict
          when != ptr-&gt;timer
    (
            kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield);
    |
            kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
    |
            kfree(ptr);
    )

    $ spatch timer.cocci . &gt; /tmp/t.patch
    $ patch -p1 &lt; /tmp/t.patch

<title>bridge: mcast: Add a flag for user installed source entries</title>

There are a few places where the bridge driver differentiates between
(S, G) entries installed by the kernel (in response to Membership
Reports) and those installed by user space. One of them is when deleting
an (S, G) entry corresponding to a source entry that is being deleted.

While user space cannot currently add a source entry to a (*, G), it can
add an (S, G) entry that later corresponds to a source entry created by
the reception of a Membership Report. If this source entry is later
deleted because its source timer expired or because the (*, G) entry is
being deleted, the bridge driver will not delete the corresponding (S,
G) entry if it was added by user space as permanent.

This is going to be a problem when the ability to install a (*, G) with
a source list is exposed to user space. In this case, when user space
installs the (*, G) as permanent, then all the (S, G) entries
corresponding to its source list will also be installed as permanent.
When user space deletes the (*, G), all the source entries will be
deleted and the expectation is that the corresponding (S, G) entries
will be deleted as well.

Solve this by introducing a new source entry flag denoting that the
entry was installed by user space. When the entry is deleted, delete the
corresponding (S, G) entry even if it was installed by user space as
permanent, as the flag tells us that it was installed in response to the
source entry being created.

The flag will be set in a subsequent patch where source entries are
created in response to user requests.
