This ensures the neighbor entries associated with the bridge
dev are flushed, also invalidating the associated cached L2 headers.
This means we br_add_if/br_del_if ports to implement hand-over and
not wind up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC.
This means we can also change MAC of port device and also not wind
up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC.
This builds on Stephen Hemminger's patch, also handling the br_del_if
case and the port MAC change case.

If a new device is added to a bridge, the ethernet address of the
bridge network device may change. When the address changes, the
appropriate callback is called, but with the wrong device argument.
The address of the bridge device (ie br0) changes not the address
of the device being passed to add_if (ie eth0).

A bridge topology with three systems:
+------+ +------+
| A(2) |--| B(1) |
+------+ +------+
\ /
+------+
| C(3) |
+------+
What is supposed to happen:
* bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B)
* C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state
What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as
root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU
doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that
the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state.
The root cause of this is that the configuration messages
is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before
sending.
In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be:
the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by
the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU.
Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when
recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time
elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour
and hh_cache entries, we no longer need:
1) dynamic allocation
2) attachment to dst->hh
3) refcounting
Initialization of the hh_cache entry is indicated by hh_len
being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with
the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

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.

The bridge currently floods packets to groups that we have never
seen before to all ports. This is not required by RFC4541 and
in fact it is not desirable in environment where traffic to
unregistered group is always present.
This patch changes the behaviour so that we only send traffic
to unregistered groups to ports marked as routers.
The user can always force flooding behaviour to any given port
by marking it as a router.
Note that this change does not apply to traffic to 224.0.0.X
as traffic to those groups must always be flooded to all ports.

Upon reception of a MGM report packet the kernel sets the mrouters_only flag
in a skb that is a clone of the original skb, which means that the bridge
loses track of MGM packets (cb buffers are tied to a specific skb and not
shared) and it ends up forwading join requests to the bridge interface.
This can cause unexpected membership timeouts and intermitent/permanent loss
of connectivity as described in RFC 4541 [2.1.1. IGMP Forwarding Rules]:
A snooping switch should forward IGMP Membership Reports only to
those ports where multicast routers are attached.
[...]
Sending membership reports to other hosts can result, for IGMPv1
and IGMPv2, in unintentionally preventing a host from joining a
specific multicast group.

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info
available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
40 VFs were created per interface.
Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
enough data to satisfy the request.

In the old days, we used to access dev->master in __netif_receive_skb()
in a rcu_read_lock section.
So one synchronize_net() call was needed in netdev_set_master() to make
sure another cpu could not use old master while/after we release it.
We now use netdev_rx_handler infrastructure and added one
synchronize_net() call in bond_release()/bond_release_all()
Remove the obsolete synchronize_net() from netdev_set_master() and add
one in bridge del_nbp() after its netdev_rx_handler_unregister() call.
This makes enslave -d a bit faster.

The optimizations in commit 255d0dc34068a976
(netfilter: x_table: speedup compat operations) assume that
xt_compat_add_offset is called once per rule.
ebtables however called it for each match/target found in a rule.
The match/watcher/target parser already returns the needed delta, so it
is sufficient to move the xt_compat_add_offset call to a more reasonable
location.
While at it, also get rid of the unused COMPAT iterator macros.

Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink
dump callbacks.
I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making
good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations.
This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow
on a workload adding/removing network devices in background.
All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does
roughly a revert of commits :
1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks
6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks
This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed.
It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu
read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu()

because of a typo in notifier. Every device would have the sysfs
bridge directory (and files).

* 'for-linus2' of git://git.profusion.mobi/users/lucas/linux-2.6:
Fix common misspellings
|
|
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.
