2012-02-13net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet
[ Upstream commit d3aaeb38c40e5a6c08dd31a1b64da65c4352be36, along with dependent backports of commits: 69cce1d1404968f78b177a0314f5822d5afdbbfb 9de79c127cccecb11ae6a21ab1499e87aa222880 218fa90f072e4aeff9003d57e390857f4f35513e 580da35a31f91a594f3090b7a2c39b85cb051a12 f7e57044eeb1841847c24aa06766c8290c202583 e049f28883126c689cf95859480d9ee4ab23b7fa ] Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

2011-11-11bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridgestephen hemminger
[ Upstream commit b64b73d7d0c480f75684519c6134e79d50c1b341 ] This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging. Some users use the bridge like a dummy device. They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing this, there is no reason to not allow it. Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the bridge if there are any added. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-08-04bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDUstephen hemminger
commit 0c03150e7ea8f7fcd03cfef29385e0010b22ee92 upstream. 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.

2011-05-02net: 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.

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>

2011-03-30bridge: mcast snooping, fix length check of snooped MLDv1/2Linus Lüssing
"len = ntohs(ip6h->payload_len)" does not include the length of the ipv6 header itself, which the rest of this function assumes, though. This leads to a length check less restrictive as it should be in the following line for one thing. For another, it very likely leads to an integer underrun when substracting the offset and therefore to a very high new value of 'len' due to its unsignedness. This will ultimately lead to the pskb_trim_rcsum() practically never being called, even in the cases where it should. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

The mac address of the bridge device may be changed when a new interface is added to the bridge. If this happens, then the bridge needs to call the network notifiers to tickle any other systems that care. Since bridge can be a module, this also means exporting the notifier function.

2011-03-22bridge: Fix possibly wrong MLD queries' ethernet source addressLinus Lüssing
The ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is currently called with an uninitialized destination address. Although in tests it usually seemed to nevertheless always fetch the right source address, there seems to be a possible race condition. Therefore this commit changes this, first setting the destination address and only after that fetching the source address.

Whenever we enter the IP stack proper from bridge netfilter we need to ensure that the skb is in a form the IP stack expects it to be in.

2011-03-14bridge: skip forwarding delay if not using STPstephen hemminger
If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to learn about other bridges before nominating itself. The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table. Includes change for local variable br already available in that func. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
