7ca1e11ab7 br_device: unify return value of .ndo_set_mac_address if address is invalid
Unify return value of .ndo_set_mac_address if the given address

4359881338 bridge: add local MAC address to forwarding table (v2)
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.

34324dc2bf net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit
Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.

For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

515853ccec bridge: allow forwarding some link local frames
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.

b64b73d7d0 bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridge
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.

44661462ee bridge: Always flood broadcast packets
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.

bb900b27a2 bridge: allow creating bridge devices with netlink
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.

1faa4356a3 bridge: control carrier based on ports online
This makes the bridge device behave like a physical device.
In earlier releases the bridge always asserted carrier. This
changes the behavior so that bridge device carrier is on only
if one or more ports are in the forwarding state. This
should help IPv6 autoconfiguration, DHCP, and routing daemons.

I did brief testing with Network and Virt manager and they
seem fine, but since this changes behavior of bridge, it should
wait until net-next (2.6.39).

defb3519a6 net: Abstract away all dst_entry metrics accesses.
Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes,
to dst_entry metrics values.

This will allow us to:

1) More easily change how the metrics are stored.

2) Implement COW for metrics.

In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer
cache if that is what we end up doing.  We can make the _metrics
member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point
at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set
grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.

573201f36f bridge: Partially disable netpoll support
The new netpoll code in bridging contains use-after-free bugs
that are non-trivial to fix.

This patch fixes this by removing the code that uses skbs after
they're freed.

As a consequence, this means that we can no longer call bridge
from the netpoll path, so this patch also removes the controller
function in order to disable netpoll.

28172739f0 net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32
bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a
32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider.

One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all
ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to
dev_get_stats().

Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary
storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack)

Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

91d2c34a4e bridge: Fix netpoll support
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.

b63365a2d6 net: Fix disjunct computation of netdev features
My change

    commit e2a6b85247
    net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device

didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions.  So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.

This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.

It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration.  This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.

The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

4adf0af681 bridge: send correct MTU value in PMTU (revised)
When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses
the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU.  But
when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through
the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated.

However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this
situation.  The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame
size, and the same problem will occur again.

Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent
via PMTU.  To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored
in its net_bridge structure.

Modified to get rid of fake_net_device as well.

92c0574f11 bridge: make bridge address settings sticky
Normally, the bridge just chooses the smallest mac address as the
bridge id and mac address of bridge device. But if the administrator
has explictly set the interface address then don't change it.

a339f1c881 bridge: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.
Even though bridges require 6 fields from struct net_device_stats,
the on-device stats are always there, so we may just use them.

The br_dev_get_stats is no longer required after this.

3ae412544c [BRIDGE]: Assign random address.
Assigning a valid random address to bridge device solves problems
when bridge device is brought up before adding real device to bridge.
When the first real device is added to the bridge, it's address
will overide the bridges random address.

Note: any device added to a bridge must already have a valid
ethernet address.
