* bridge: set priority of STP packetsStephen Hemminger2013-02-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Spanning Tree Protocol packets should have always been marked as control packets, this causes them to get queued in the high prirority FIFO. As Radia Perlman mentioned in her LCA talk, STP dies if bridge gets overloaded and can't communicate. This is a long-standing bug back to the first versions of Linux bridge.

* bridge: add empty br_mdb_init() and br_mdb_uninit() definitions.Rami Rosen2013-01-031-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds empty br_mdb_init() and br_mdb_uninit() definitions in br_private.h to avoid build failure when CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING is not set.

* bridge: Correctly unregister MDB rtnetlink handlersVlad Yasevich2013-01-032-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 63233159fd4e596568f5f168ecb0879b61631d47: bridge: Do not unregister all PF_BRIDGE rtnl operations introduced a bug where a removal of a single bridge from a multi-bridge system would remove MDB netlink handlers. The handlers should only be removed once all bridges are gone, but since we don't keep track of the number of bridge interfaces, it's simpler to do it when the bridge module is unloaded. To make it consistent, move the registration code into module initialization code path. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of rehashing, introduce a global variable 'br_mdb_rehash_seq' which gets increased every time when rehashing, and assign net->dev_base_seq + br_mdb_rehash_seq to cb->seq. In theory cb->seq could be wrapped to zero, but this is not easy to fix, as net->dev_base_seq is not visible inside br_mdb_rehash(). In practice, this is rare.

* bridge: add root port blockingstephen hemminger2012-11-144-2/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is Linux bridge implementation of root port guard. If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not be elected as root port. Why would you want to do this? If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic. Why not just use netfilter? Netfilter does not track of follow spanning tree decisions. It would be difficult and error prone to try and mirror STP resolution in netfilter module.

BPDU block disables the bridge port if a STP BPDU packet is received. Why would you want to do this? If running Spanning Tree on bridge, hostile devices on the network may send BPDU and cause network failure. Enabling bpdu block will detect and stop this. How to recover the port? The port will be restarted if link is brought down, or removed and reattached.

* bridge: bridge port parameters over netlinkstephen hemminger2012-11-141-33/+132
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested message, this can be used for other bridge parameters. This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED. The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use with old versions of bridge monitor command. Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more values (like macvlan has).

This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF. In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer. This is incorrect. This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the hardware to prevent this behavior.

* | net: set and query VEB/VEPA bridge mode via PF_BRIDGEJohn Fastabend2012-10-312-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware switches may support enabling and disabling the loopback switch which puts the device in a VEPA mode defined in the IEEE 802.1Qbg specification. In this mode frames are not switched in the hardware but sent directly to the switch. SR-IOV capable NICs will likely support this mode I am aware of at least two such devices. Also I am told (but don't have any of this hardware available) that there are devices that only support VEPA modes. In these cases it is important at a minimum to be able to query these attributes. This patch adds an additional IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute that can be set and dumped via the PF_BRIDGE:{SET|GET}LINK operations. Also anticipating bridge attributes that may be common for both embedded bridges and software bridges this adds a flags attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS currently used to determine if the command or event is being generated to/from an embedded bridge or software bridge. Finally, the event generation is pulled out of the bridge module and into rtnetlink proper. For example using the macvlan driver in VEPA mode on top of an embedded switch requires putting the embedded switch into a VEPA mode to get the expected results. -------- -------- | VEPA | | VEPA | <-- macvlan vepa edge relays -------- -------- | | | | ------------------ | VEPA | <-- embedded switch in NIC ------------------ | | ------------------- | external switch | <-- shiny new physical ------------------- switch with VEPA support A packet sent from the macvlan VEPA at the top could be loopbacked on the embedded switch and never seen by the external switch. So in order for this to work the embedded switch needs to be set in the VEPA state via the above described commands. By making these attributes nested in IFLA_AF_SPEC we allow future extensions to be made as needed.

Mostly cleanups for the Netfilter side. They are: * Remove unnecessary RTNL locking now that we have support for namespace in nf_conntrack, from Patrick McHardy. * Cleanup to eliminate unnecessary goto in the initialization path of several Netfilter tables, from Jean Sacren. * Another cleanup from Wu Fengguang, this time to PTR_RET instead of if IS_ERR then return PTR_ERR. * Use list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu in nf_iterate, from Michael Wang. * Add pmtu_disc sysctl option to disable PMTU in their tunneling transmitter, from Julian Anastasov. * Generalize application protocol registration in IPVS and modify IPVS FTP helper to use it, from Julian Anastasov. * update Kconfig. The IPVS FTP helper depends on the Netfilter FTP helper for NAT support, from Julian Anastasov. * Add logic to update PMTU for IPIP packets in IPVS, again from Julian Anastasov. * A couple of sparse warning fixes for IPVS and Netfilter from Claudiu Ghioc and Patrick McHardy respectively. Patrick's IPv6 NAT changes will follow after this batch, I need to flush this batch first before refreshing my tree. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alternative solution for problem found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org). As it noted in the comment before the br_handle_frame_finish function, this function should be called under rcu_read_lock. The problem callgraph: br_dev_xmit -> br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow -> -> br_handle_frame_finish -> br_port_get_rcu -> rcu_dereference And in this case there is no read-lock section.

* | | time: jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() helper to the rescueEric Dumazet2012-08-092-2/+2
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed in clock_t units. This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed to jiffies_to_clock_t(). This function has an overflow in : return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ); commit cbbc719fccdb8cb (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type to unsigned long) only got around the problem. As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

| | | | | | | | | | | Fix race condition in several network drivers when reading stats on 32bit UP architectures. These drivers update their stats in a BH context and therefore should use u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh/u64_stats_fetch_retry_bh instead of u64_stats_fetch_begin/u64_stats_fetch_retry when reading the stats.
