net: bridge: add support for IGMP/MLD stats and export them via netlink
This patch adds stats support for the currently used IGMP/MLD types by the bridge. The stats are per-port (plus one stat per-bridge) and per-direction (RX/TX). The stats are exported via netlink via the new linkxstats API (RTM_GETSTATS). In order to minimize the performance impact, a new option is used to enable/disable the stats - multicast_stats_enabled, similar to the recent vlan stats. Also in order to avoid multiple IGMP/MLD type lookups and checks, we make use of the current "igmp" member of the bridge private skb->cb region to record the type on Rx (both host-generated and external packets pass by multicast_rcv()). We can do that since the igmp member was used as a boolean and all the valid IGMP/MLD types are positive values. The normal bridge fast-path is not affected at all, the only affected paths are the flooding ones and since we make use of the IGMP/MLD type, we can quickly determine if the packet should be counted using cache-hot data (cb's igmp member). We add counters for: * IGMP Queries * IGMP Leaves * IGMP v1/v2/v3 reports * MLD Queries * MLD Leaves * MLD v1/v2 reports These are invaluable when monitoring or debugging complex multicast setups with bridges.
