2011-07-22bridge: notifier called with the wrong devicestephen hemminger
If a new device is added to a bridge, the ethernet address of the bridge network device may change. When the address changes, the appropriate callback is called, but with the wrong device argument. The address of the bridge device (ie br0) changes not the address of the device being passed to add_if (ie eth0). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-07-22bridge: ignore bogus STP config packetsstephen hemminger

2011-07-22bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDUstephen hemminger
A bridge topology with three systems: +------+ +------+ | A(2) |--| B(1) | +------+ +------+ \ / +------+ | C(3) | +------+ What is supposed to happen: * bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B) * C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state. The root cause of this is that the configuration messages is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before sending. In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be: the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU. Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

2011-07-05bridge: Always flood broadcast packetsHerbert Xu
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.

2011-06-24bridge: Only flood unregistered groups to routersHerbert Xu
The bridge currently floods packets to groups that we have never seen before to all ports. This is not required by RFC4541 and in fact it is not desirable in environment where traffic to unregistered group is always present. This patch changes the behaviour so that we only send traffic to unregistered groups to ports marked as routers. The user can always force flooding behaviour to any given port by marking it as a router. Note that this change does not apply to traffic to 224.0.0.X as traffic to those groups must always be flooded to all ports.

2011-06-16IGMP snooping: set mrouters_only flag for IPv6 traffic properlyFernando Luis Vázquez Cao
Upon reception of a MGM report packet the kernel sets the mrouters_only flag in a skb that is a clone of the original skb, which means that the bridge loses track of MGM packets (cb buffers are tied to a specific skb and not shared) and it ends up forwading join requests to the bridge interface. This can cause unexpected membership timeouts and intermitent/permanent loss of connectivity as described in RFC 4541 [2.1.1. IGMP Forwarding Rules]: A snooping switch should forward IGMP Membership Reports only to those ports where multicast routers are attached. [...] Sending membership reports to other hosts can result, for IGMPv1 and IGMPv2, in unintentionally preventing a host from joining a specific multicast group.

2011-06-09rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump sizeGreg Rose
The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

2011-05-02net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacksEric Dumazet
Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed.

2011-04-04bridge: range check STP parametersstephen hemminger
Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard. * Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl * Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul. Note: 1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are set as independant operations. 2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay 3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act as hub or be sticky. 4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority because more bits are reserved for port number.

2011-04-04bridge: allow creating bridge devices with netlinkstephen hemminger
Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink. This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding. Example: # ip link add link dev br0 type bridge # ip link del dev br0 The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback to deal with allocation failure. Sysfs setup has to wait until after the network device kobject is registered. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-04-04bridge: allow creating/deleting fdb entries via netlinkstephen hemminger
Use RTM_NEWNEIGH and RTM_DELNEIGH to allow updating of entries in bridge forwarding table. This allows manipulating static entries which is not possible with existing tools. Example (using bridge extensions to iproute2) # br fdb add 00:02:03:04:05:06 dev eth0 Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-04-04bridge: add netlink notification on forward entry changesstephen hemminger
This allows applications to query and monitor bridge forwarding table in the same method used for neighbor table. The forward table entries are returned in same structure format as used by the ioctl. If more information is desired in future, the netlink method is extensible. Example (using bridge extensions to iproute2) # br monitor Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-04-04bridge: split rcu and no-rcu cases of fdb lookupstephen hemminger
In some cases, look up of forward database entry is done with RCU; and for others no RCU is needed because of locking. Split the two cases into two differnt loops (and take off inline). Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-04-04bridge: track last used time in forwarding tablestephen hemminger
Adds tracking the last used time in forwarding table. Rename ageing_timer to updated to better describe it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-04-04bridge: change arguments to fdb_createstephen hemminger
Later patch provides ability to create non-local static entry. To make this easier move the updating of the flag values to after the code that creates entry. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
