2012-07-16bridge: Assign rtnl_link_ops to bridge devices created via ioctl (v2)stephen hemminger
[ Upstream commit 149ddd83a92b02c658d6c61f3276eb6500d585e8 ] This ensures that bridges created with brctl(8) or ioctl(2) directly also carry IFLA_LINKINFO when dumped over netlink. This also allows to create a bridge with ioctl(2) and delete it with RTM_DELLINK.

bridge: set fake_rtable's dst to NULL to avoid kernel Oops when bridge is deleted before tap/vif device's delete, kernel may encounter an oops because of NULL reference to fake_rtable's dst.

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.

2012-03-06bridge: netfilter: don't call iptables on vlan packets if sysctl is offFlorian Westphal
When net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged is 0 (default), vlan packets arriving should not be sent to ip(6)tables by bridge netfilter. However, it turns out that we currently always send VLAN packets to netfilter, if .. a), CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is enabled ; or b), CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is not set but rx vlan offload is enabled on the bridge port. This is because bridge netfilter treats skb with skb->protocol == ETH_P_IP{V6} as "non-vlan packet". With rx vlan offload on or CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=y, the vlan header has already been removed here, and we cannot rely on skb->protocol alone. Fix this by only using skb->protocol if the skb has no vlan tag, or if a vlan tag is present and filter-vlan-tagged bridge netfilter sysctl is enabled. We cannot remove the skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_8021Q) test because the vlan tag is still around in the CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=n && "ethtool -K $itf rxvlan off" case. reproducer: iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -i br0 iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -i br0.1 Then send packets to an ip address configured on br0.1 interface. Even with net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged=0, the 1st rule will match instead of the 2nd one. With this patch applied, the 2nd rule will match instead. In the non-local address case, netfilter won't be consulted after this patch unless the sysctl is switched on.

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.

2011-10-06bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridgestephen hemminger
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.

2011-10-03bridge: allow updating existing fdb entriesstephen hemminger
Need to allow application to update existing fdb entries that already exist. This makes bridge netlink neighbor API have same flags and semantics as ip neighbor table. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-10-03bridge: fix ordering of NEWLINK and NEWNEIGH eventsstephen hemminger
When port is added to a bridge, the old code would send the new neighbor netlink message before the subsequent new link message. This bug makes it difficult to use the monitoring API in an application. This code changes the ordering to add the forwarding entry after the port is setup. One of the error checks (for invalid address) is moved earlier in the process to avoid having to do unwind. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-09-15net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings callingJiri Pirko
This patch does several things: - introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
