c4d27ef957 bridge: convert br_features_recompute() to ndo_fix_features

14f98f258f bridge: range check STP parameters
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.

This allows applications to query and monitor bridge forwarding

edf947f100 bridge: notify applications if address of bridge device changes
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.

8a870178c0 bridge: Replace mp->mglist hlist with a bool
As it turns out we never need to walk through the list of multicast
groups subscribed by the bridge interface itself (the only time we'd
want to do that is when we shut down the bridge, in which case we
simply walk through all multicast groups), we don't really need to
keep an hlist for mp->mglist.

This means that we can replace it with just a single bit to indicate
whether the bridge interface is subscribed to a group.

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.

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.

Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

e0f43752a9 bridge: update sysfs link names if port device names have changed
Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device
name, but this could be changed after being added to the
bridge.

As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this
occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new
name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding
another interface with the old name to the bridge will
cause an error trying to create the sysfs link.

This fixes the problem by listening for NETDEV_CHANGENAME
notifications and renaming the link.

7f7708f005 bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode
From: Michael Braun <michael-dev@fami-braun.de>

bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode

It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it
OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by
br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to
a non-null value).

Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that
 BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev
(as set in br_handle_frame_finish first)
only holds until br_forward is called.
The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails.

Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes
it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The
same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent
skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit
b33084be19 ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary
clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes
this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33.

I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been
modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used
and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

parameters.  The elasticity setting does not take effect until
the next new multicast group is added.  At which point it is
checked and if after rehashing it still can't be satisfied then
snooping will be disabled.

The max setting on the other hand takes effect immediately.  It
must be a power of two and cannot be set to a value less than the
current number of multicast group entries.  This is the only way
to shrink the multicast hash.

eb1d164143 bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support
This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support
without actually hooking it up.  So this patch should be a no-op
as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned.

All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option
BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING.  A run-time toggle is also available.

The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is
lockless on the read-side through RCU.  On the write-side the
new multicast_lock is used for all operations.  The hash table
supports dynamic growth/rehashing.

The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
preset limit.  If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
length then snooping will be disabled.

These features may be added in future (in no particular order):

* IGMPv3 source support
* Non-querier router detection
* IPv6

da6782927d bridge: Simplify interface for ATM LANE
This patch changes FDB entry check for ATM LANE bridge integration.
There's no point in holding a FDB entry around SKB building.

br_fdb_get()/br_fdb_put() pair are changed into single br_fdb_test_addr()
hook that checks if the addr has FDB entry pointing to other port
to the one the request arrived on.

FDB entry refcounting is removed as it's not used anywhere else.

4aa678ba44 netns bridge: allow bridges in netns!
Bridge as netdevice doesn't cross netns boundaries.

Bridge ports and bridge itself live in same netns.

Notifiers are fixed.

netns propagated from userspace socket for setup and teardown.

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.
