* net: bridge: remove redundant checks for null p->dev and p->brColin Ian King2018-11-251-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent change added a null check on p->dev after p->dev was being dereferenced by the ns_capable check on p->dev. It turns out that neither the p->dev and p->br null checks are necessary, and can be removed, which cleans up a static analyis warning. As Nikolay Aleksandrov noted, these checks can be removed because: "My reasoning of why it shouldn't be possible: - On port add new_nbp() sets both p->dev and p->br before creating kobj/sysfs - On port del (trickier) del_nbp() calls kobject_del() before call_rcu() to destroy the port which in turn calls sysfs_remove_dir() which uses kernfs_remove() which deactivates (shouldn't be able to open new files) and calls kernfs_drain() to drain current open/mmaped files in the respective dir before continuing, thus making it impossible to open a bridge port sysfs file with p->dev and p->br equal to NULL. So I think it's safe to remove those checks altogether. It'd be nice to get a second look over my reasoning as I might be missing something in sysfs/kernfs call path." Thanks to Nikolay Aleksandrov's suggestion to remove the check and David Miller for sanity checking this.

* net: bridge: add support for backup portNikolay Aleksandrov2018-07-231-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new port attribute - IFLA_BRPORT_BACKUP_PORT, which allows to set a backup port to be used for known unicast traffic if the port has gone carrier down. The backup pointer is rcu protected and set only under RTNL, a counter is maintained so when deleting a port we know how many other ports reference it as a backup and we remove it from all. Also the pointer is in the first cache line which is hot at the time of the check and thus in the common case we only add one more test. The backup port will be used only for the non-flooding case since it's a part of the bridge and the flooded packets will be forwarded to it anyway. To remove the forwarding just send a 0/non-existing backup port. This is used to avoid numerous scalability problems when using MLAG most notably if we have thousands of fdbs one would need to change all of them on port carrier going down which takes too long and causes a storm of fdb notifications (and again when the port comes back up). In a Multi-chassis Link Aggregation setup usually hosts are connected to two different switches which act as a single logical switch. Those switches usually have a control and backup link between them called peerlink which might be used for communication in case a host loses connectivity to one of them. We need a fast way to failover in case a host port goes down and currently none of the solutions (like bond) cannot fulfill the requirements because the participating ports are actually the "master" devices and must have the same peerlink as their backup interface and at the same time all of them must participate in the bridge device. As Roopa noted it's normal practice in routing called fast re-route where a precalculated backup path is used when the main one is down. Another use case of this is with EVPN, having a single vxlan device which is backup of every port. Due to the nature of master devices it's not currently possible to use one device as a backup for many and still have all of them participate in the bridge (which is master itself). More detailed information about MLAG is available at the link below. https://docs.cumulusnetworks.com/display/DOCS/Multi-Chassis+Link+Aggregation+-+MLAG Further explanation and a diagram by Roopa: Two switches acting in a MLAG pair are connected by the peerlink interface which is a bridge port. the config on one of the switches looks like the below. The other switch also has a similar config. eth0 is connected to one port on the server. And the server is connected to both switches. br0 -- team0---eth0 | -- switch-peerlink Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: bridge: add support for port isolationNikolay Aleksandrov2018-05-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for a new port flag - BR_ISOLATED. If it is set then isolated ports cannot communicate between each other, but they can still communicate with non-isolated ports. The same can be achieved via ACLs but they can't scale with large number of ports and also the complexity of the rules grows. This feature can be used to achieve isolated vlan functionality (similar to pvlan) as well, though currently it will be port-wide (for all vlans on the port). The new test in should_deliver uses data that is already cache hot and the new boolean is used to avoid an additional source port test in should_deliver.

* net: bridge: add notifications for the bridge dev on vlan changeNikolay Aleksandrov2017-11-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the bridge device doesn't generate any notifications upon vlan modifications on itself because it doesn't use the generic bridge notifications. With the recent changes we know if anything was modified in the vlan config thus we can generate a notification when necessary for the bridge device so add support to br_ifinfo_notify() similar to how other combined functions are done - if port is present it takes precedence, otherwise notify about the bridge. I've explicitly marked the locations where the notification should be always for the port by setting bridge to NULL. I've also taken the liberty to rearrange each modified function's local variables in reverse xmas tree as well.

* bridge: add new BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS port flag to suppress arp and nd floodRoopa Prabhu2017-10-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new bridge port flag BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS to suppress arp and nd flood on bridge ports. It implements rfc7432, section 10. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10 for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing BR_PROXYARP* flags but has a few semantic differences to conform to EVPN standard. Unlike the existing flags, this new flag suppresses flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp and nd) to tunnel ports. Supports both vlan filtering and non-vlan filtering bridges. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding of arp and nd packets to tunnel ports like vxlan. This patch adds netlink and sysfs support to set this bridge port flag.

* net: bridge: add per-port group_fwd_mask with less restrictionsNikolay Aleksandrov2017-09-291-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to be able to transparently forward most link-local frames via tunnels (e.g. vxlan, qinq). Currently the bridge's group_fwd_mask has a mask which restricts the forwarding of STP and LACP, but we need to be able to forward these over tunnels and control that forwarding on a per-port basis thus add a new per-port group_fwd_mask option which only disallows mac pause frames to be forwarded (they're always dropped anyway). The patch does not change the current default situation - all of the others are still restricted unless configured for forwarding. We have successfully tested this patch with LACP and STP forwarding over VxLAN and qinq tunnels. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* bridge: add per-port broadcast flood flagMike Manning2017-04-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for l2 multicast flood control was added in commit b6cb5ac8331b ("net: bridge: add per-port multicast flood flag"). It allows broadcast as it was introduced specifically for unknown multicast flood control. But as broadcast is a special case of multicast, this may also need to be disabled. For this purpose, introduce a flag to disable the flooding of received l2 broadcasts. This approach is backwards compatible and provides flexibility in filtering for the desired packet types.

* bridge: multicast to unicastFelix Fietkau2017-01-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implements an optional, per bridge port flag and feature to deliver multicast packets to any host on the according port via unicast individually. This is done by copying the packet per host and changing the multicast destination MAC to a unicast one accordingly. multicast-to-unicast works on top of the multicast snooping feature of the bridge. Which means unicast copies are only delivered to hosts which are interested in it and signalized this via IGMP/MLD reports previously. This feature is intended for interface types which have a more reliable and/or efficient way to deliver unicast packets than broadcast ones (e.g. wifi). However, it should only be enabled on interfaces where no IGMPv2/MLDv1 report suppression takes place. This feature is disabled by default. The initial patch and idea is from Felix Fietkau.

* bridge: Extend Proxy ARP design to allow optional rules for Wi-FiJouni Malinen2015-03-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the design in commit 958501163ddd ("bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be configured from user space when required. In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames. The key differences in functionality: BR_PROXYARP: - uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was received to determine whether to reply - block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP BR_PROXYARP_WIFI: - uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the request belongs - block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp functionality replied Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARPKyeyoon Park2014-10-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature is defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.23.13. It allows the AP devices to keep track of the hardware-address-to-IP-address mapping of the mobile devices within the WLAN network. The AP will learn this mapping via observing DHCP, ARP, and NS/NA frames. When a request for such information is made (i.e. ARP request, Neighbor Solicitation), the AP will respond on behalf of the associated mobile device. In the process of doing so, the AP will drop the multicast request frame that was intended to go out to the wireless medium. It was recommended at the LKS workshop to do this implementation in the bridge layer. vxlan.c is already doing something very similar. The DHCP snooping code will be added to the userspace application (hostapd) per the recommendation. This RFC commit is only for IPv4. A similar approach in the bridge layer will be taken for IPv6 as well. Signed-off-by: Kyeyoon Park <kyeyoonp@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* bridge: Keep track of ports capable of automatic discovery.Vlad Yasevich2014-05-161-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, ports on the bridge are capable of automatic discovery of nodes located behind the port. This is accomplished via flooding of unknown traffic (BR_FLOOD) and learning the mac addresses from these packets (BR_LEARNING). If the above functionality is disabled by turning off these flags, the port requires static configuration in the form of static FDB entries to function properly. This patch adds functionality to keep track of all ports capable of automatic discovery. This will later be used to control promiscuity settings. Acked-by: Michael S.

The default is 1 which lets the system automatically detect the presence of routers (currently this is limited to picking up queries), and 2 means that the port will always receive all multicast traffic.

* net/bridge: Add 'hairpin' port forwarding modeFischer, Anna2009-08-131-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a 'hairpin' (also called 'reflective relay') mode port configuration to the Linux Ethernet bridge kernel module. A bridge supporting hairpin forwarding mode can send frames back out through the port the frame was received on. Hairpin mode is required to support basic VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator) capabilities. You can find additional information on VEPA here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/evb/ http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2009/new-hudson-vepa_seminar-20090514d.pdf http://www.internet2.edu/presentations/jt2009jul/20090719-congdon.pdf An additional patch 'bridge-utils: Add 'hairpin' port forwarding mode' is provided to allow configuring hairpin mode from userspace tools.

* net: Fix bridgeing sysfs handling of rtnl_lockEric W. Biederman2009-05-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Holding rtnl_lock when we are unregistering the sysfs files can deadlock if we unconditionally take rtnl_lock in a sysfs file. So fix it with the now familiar patter of: rtnl_trylock and syscall_restart() Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* Kobject: change net/bridge to use kobject_create_and_addGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The kobject in the bridge code is only used for registering with sysfs, not for any lifespan rules. This patch changes it to be only a pointer and use the simpler api for this kind of thing.

* sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo2007-07-111-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+269
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
