2013-10-13bridge: Clamp forward_delay when enabling STPHerbert Xu
[ Upstream commit be4f154d5ef0ca147ab6bcd38857a774133f5450 ] At some point limits were added to forward_delay. However, the limits are only enforced when STP is enabled. This created a scenario where you could have a value outside the allowed range while STP is disabled, which then stuck around even after STP is enabled. This patch fixes this by clamping the value when we enable STP. I had to move the locking around a bit to ensure that there is no window where someone could insert a value outside the range while we're in the middle of enabling STP.

[ Upstream commit 149ddd83a92b02c658d6c61f3276eb6500d585e8 ] This ensures that bridges created with brctl(8) or ioctl(2) directly also carry IFLA_LINKINFO when dumped over netlink.

2012-04-11bridge: Do not send queries on multicast group leavesHerbert Xu
As it stands the bridge IGMP snooping system will respond to group leave messages with queries for remaining membership. This is both unnecessary and undesirable. First of all any multicast routers present should be doing this rather than us. What's more the queries that we send may end up upsetting other multicast snooping swithces in the system that are buggy. In fact, we can simply remove the code that send these queries because the existing membership expiry mechanism doesn't rely on them anyway. So this patch simply removes all code associated with group queries in response to group leave messages. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

If user has configured a MAC address that is not one of the existing ports of the bridge, then we need to add a special entry in the forwarding table. This forwarding table entry has no outgoing port so it has to be treated a little differently. The special entry is reported by the netlink interface with ifindex of bridge, but ignored by the old interface since there is no usable way to put it in the ABI.

2011-10-06bridge: allow forwarding some link local framesstephen hemminger
This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements, and compatibility with earlier releases. It adds a new sysfs attribute /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility. One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards. I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default. The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

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.

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.

2010-06-15bridge: Fix netpoll supportHerbert Xu
There are multiple problems with the newly added netpoll support: 1) Use-after-free on each netpoll packet. 2) Invoking unsafe code on netpoll/IRQ path. 3) Breaks when netpoll is enabled on the underlying device. This patch fixes all of these problems. In particular, we now allocate proper netpoll structures for each underlying device. We only allow netpoll to be enabled on the bridge when all the devices underneath it support netpoll. Once it is enabled, we do not allow non-netpoll devices to join the bridge (until netpoll is disabled again). This allows us to do away with the npinfo juggling that caused problem number 1. Incidentally this patch fixes number 2 by bypassing unsafe code such as multicast snooping and netfilter.

2010-03-16bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous modeMichael Braun
From: Michael Braun <michael-dev@fami-braun.de> bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to a non-null value). Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev (as set in br_handle_frame_finish first) only holds until br_forward is called. The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails. Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit b33084be192ee1e347d98bb5c9e38a53d98d35e2 ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33. I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

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.

2010-02-28bridge: Allow tail-call on br_pass_frame_upHerbert Xu
This patch allows tail-call on the call to br_pass_frame_up in br_handle_frame_finish. This is now possible because of the previous patch to call br_pass_frame_up last. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
