These should be handled only by the respective STP which is in control.
They become problematic for devices with limited resources with many
ports because the hold_timer is per port and fires each second and the
hello timer fires each 2 seconds even though it's global. While in
user-space STP mode these timers are completely unnecessary so it's better
to keep them off.
Also ensure that when the bridge is up these timers are started only when
running with kernel STP.

Add a comment to explain why we're not disabling port's multicast when it
goes in blocking state. Since there's a check in the timer's function which
bypasses the timer if the port's in blocking/disabled state, the timer will
simply expire and stop without sending more queries.

When STP is running in user-space and querier is configured, the
querier timer is not started when a port goes to a non-blocking state.
This patch unifies the user- and kernel-space stp multicast port enable
path and enables it in all states different from blocking. Note that when a
port goes in BR_STATE_DISABLED it's not enabled because that is handled
in the beginning of the port list loop.

STP update is just a settable port attribute, so convert
switchdev_port_stp_update to an attr set.
For DSA, the prepare phase is skipped and STP updates are only done in the
commit phase. This is because currently the DSA drivers don't need to
allocate any memory for STP updates and the STP update will not fail to HW
(unless something horrible goes wrong on the MDIO bus, in which case the
prepare phase wouldn't have been able to predict anyway).

At some point limits were added to forward_delay. However, the
limits are only enforced when STP is enabled. This created a
scenario where you could have a value outside the allowed range
while STP is disabled, which then stuck around even after STP
is enabled.
This patch fixes this by clamping the value when we enable STP.
I had to move the locking around a bit to ensure that there is
no window where someone could insert a value outside the range
while we're in the middle of enabling STP.

This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as
opposed to the local bridge's max age. This is in accordance with section
8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification.
With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge
diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is
configured to have a longer max age.
Tested successfully on bridge diameters of ~200.

This is Linux bridge implementation of root port guard.
If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not
be elected as root port.
Why would you want to do this?
If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully
trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic.
Why not just use netfilter?
Netfilter does not track of follow spanning tree decisions.
It would be difficult and error prone to try and mirror STP

When in user-stp mode, bridge master do not follow state of its slaves, so
after the following sequence of events it can stuck forever in no-carrier
state:
1) turn stp off
2) put all slaves down - master device will follow their state and also go in
no-carrier state
3) turn stp on with bridge-stp script returning 0 (go to the user-stp mode)
Now bridge master won't follow slaves' state and will never reach running
state.
This patch solves the problem by making user-stp and kernel-stp behavior
similar regarding master following slaves' states.

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.

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.

If Spanning Tree Protocol is not enabled, there is no good reason for
the bridge code to wait for the forwarding delay period before enabling
the link. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to allow STP to
learn about other bridges before nominating itself.
The only possible impact is that when starting up a new port
the bridge may flood a packet now, where previously it might have
seen traffic from the other host and preseeded the forwarding table.
Includes change for local variable br already available in that func.

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).

If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which
is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all
packets for the first 20 seconds.
This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes:
* forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate
user wants to always flood packets
* optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial
timer tick
The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if
kernel STP is not being used.

Based upon original patch by Herbert Xu, which contained
the following problem description:
--------------------
When the forward delay is set to zero, we still delay the setting
of the forwarding state by one or possibly two timers depending
on whether STP is enabled. This could either turn out to be
instantaneous, or horribly slow depending on the load of the
machine.
As there is nothing preventing us from enabling forwarding straight
away, this patch eliminates this potential delay by executing the
code directly if the forward delay is zero.
The effect of this problem is that immediately after the carrier
comes on a port, the bridge will drop all packets received from
that port until it enters forwarding mode, thus causing unnecessary
packet loss.
Note that this patch doesn't fully remove the delay due to the
link watcher. We should also check the carrier state when we
are about to drop an incoming packet because the port is disabled.
But that's for another patch.
--------------------
This version of the fix takes a different approach, in that
it just does the state change directly.

Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.
This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.
For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.
Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.
