2010-03-07bridge: Use RCU list primitive in __br_mdb_ip_getHerbert Xu
As Paul McKenney correctly pointed out, __br_mdb_ip_get needs to use the RCU list walking primitive in order to work correctly on platforms where data-dependency ordering is not guaranteed.

2010-03-07bridge: cleanup: remove unneed checkDan Carpenter
We dereference "port" on the lines immediately before and immediately after the test so port should hopefully never be null here. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-28bridge: Add hash elasticity/max sysfs entriesHerbert Xu
This patch allows the user to control the hash elasticity/max parameters. The elasticity setting does not take effect until the next new multicast group is added. At which point it is checked and if after rehashing it still can't be satisfied then snooping will be disabled. The max setting on the other hand takes effect immediately. It must be a power of two and cannot be set to a value less than the current number of multicast group entries. This is the only way to shrink the multicast hash.

2010-02-28bridge: Add multicast_snooping sysfs toggleHerbert Xu
This patch allows the user to disable IGMP snooping completely through a sysfs toggle. It also allows the user to reenable snooping when it has been automatically disabled due to hash collisions. If the collisions have not been resolved however the system will refuse to reenable snooping. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-28bridge: Add multicast_router sysfs entriesHerbert Xu
This patch allows the user to forcibly enable/disable ports as having multicast routers attached. A port with a multicast router will receive all multicast traffic. The value 0 disables it completely. The default is 1 which lets the system automatically detect the presence of routers (currently this is limited to picking up queries), and 2 means that the port will always receive all multicast traffic.

2010-02-28bridge: Add core IGMP snooping supportHerbert Xu
This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support without actually hooking it up. So this patch should be a no-op as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned. All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING. A run-time toggle is also available. The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is lockless on the read-side through RCU. On the write-side the new multicast_lock is used for all operations. The hash table supports dynamic growth/rehashing. The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a preset limit. If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain length then snooping will be disabled. These features may be added in future (in no particular order): * IGMPv3 source support * Non-querier router detection * IPv6 Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
