Get the vlan_proto of ingress bridge in network byteorder as userspace
expects. Otherwise this is inconsistent with NFT_META_PROTOCOL.

The ordering of arguments to the x_tables ADD_COUNTER macro
appears to be wrong in ebtables (cf. ip_tables.c, ip6_tables.c,
and arp_tables.c).

This causes data corruption in the ebtables userspace tools
because they get incorrect packet &amp; byte counts from the kernel.

<title>net: bridge: move default pvid init/deinit to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER</title>

<content type='text'>
Most of the bridge device's vlan init bugs come from the fact that its
default pvid is created at the wrong time, way too early in ndo_init()
before the device is even assigned an ifindex. It introduces a bug when the
bridge's dev_addr is added as fdb during the initial default pvid creation
the notification has ifindex/NDA_MASTER both equal to 0 (see example below)
which really makes no sense for user-space[0] and is wrong.
Usually user-space software would ignore such entries, but they are
actually valid and will eventually have all necessary attributes.
It makes much more sense to send a notification *after* the device has
registered and has a proper ifindex allocated rather than before when
there's a chance that the registration might still fail or to receive
it with ifindex/NDA_MASTER == 0. Note that we can remove the fdb flush
from br_vlan_flush() since that case can no longer happen. At
NETDEV_REGISTER br-&gt;default_pvid is always == 1 as it's initialized by
br_vlan_init() before that and at NETDEV_UNREGISTER it can be anything
depending why it was called (if called due to NETDEV_REGISTER error
it'll still be == 1, otherwise it could be any value changed during the
device life time).

For the demonstration below a small change to iproute2 for printing all fdb
notifications is added, because it contained a workaround not to show
entries with ifindex == 0.
Command executed while monitoring: $ ip l add br0 type bridge
Before (both ifindex and master == 0):
$ bridge monitor fdb
36:7e:8a:b3:56:ba dev * vlan 1 master * permanent

After (proper br0 ifindex):
$ bridge monitor fdb
e6:2a:ae:7a:b7:48 dev br0 vlan 1 master br0 permanent

v4: move only the default pvid init/deinit to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER
v3: send the correct v2 patch with all changes (stub should return 0)
v2: on error in br_vlan_init set br-&gt;vlgrp to NULL and return 0 in
    the br_vlan_bridge_event stub when bridge vlans are disabled

When permanent entries were introduced by the commit below, they were
exempt from timing out and thus igmp leave wouldn't affect them unless
fast leave was enabled on the port which was added before permanent
entries existed. It shouldn't matter if fast leave is enabled or not
if the user added a permanent entry it shouldn't be deleted on igmp
leave.

Before:
$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/eth4/brport/multicast_fast_leave

ebtables doesn't include the base chain policies in the rule count,
so we need to add them manually when we call into the x_tables core
to allocate space for the comapt offset table.

<content type='text'>
On initialization failure we have to delete the local fdb which was
inserted due to the default pvid creation. This problem has been present
since the inception of default_pvid. Note that currently there are 2 cases:
1) in br_dev_init() when br_multicast_init() fails
2) if register_netdevice() fails after calling ndo_init()

This patch takes care of both since br_vlan_flush() is called on both
occasions. Also the new fdb delete would be a no-op on normal bridge
device destruction since the local fdb would've been already flushed by
br_dev_delete(). This is not an issue for ports since nbp_vlan_init() is
called last when adding a port thus nothing can fail after it.

nft_meta_get_eval()'s tendency to bail out setting NFT_BREAK verdict in
situations where required data is missing leads to unexpected behaviour
with inverted checks like so:

| meta iifname != eth0 accept

This rule will never match if there is no input interface (or it is not
known) which is not intuitive and, what's worse, breaks consistency of
iptables-nft with iptables-legacy.

Fix this by falling back to placing a value in dreg which never matches
(avoiding accidental matches), i.e. zero for interface index and an
empty string for interface name.

In compat_do_replace(), a temporary buffer is allocated through vmalloc()
to hold entries copied from the user space. The buffer address is firstly
saved to 'newinfo-&gt;entries', and later on assigned to 'entries_tmp'. Then
the entries in this temporary buffer is copied to the internal kernel
structure through compat_copy_entries(). If this copy process fails,
compat_do_replace() should be terminated. However, the allocated temporary
buffer is not freed on this path, leading to a memory leak.

To fix the bug, free the buffer before returning from compat_do_replace().
