Wilson Kok 1d7c49037b bridge: use _bh spinlock variant for br_fdb_update to avoid lockup
br_fdb_update() can be called in process context in the following way:
br_fdb_add() -> __br_fdb_add() -> br_fdb_update() (if NTF_USE flag is set)
so we need to use spin_lock_bh because there are softirq users of the
hash_lock. One easy way to reproduce this is to modify the bridge utility
to set NTF_USE, enable stp and then set maxageing to a low value so
br_fdb_cleanup() is called frequently and then just add new entries in
a loop. This happens because br_fdb_cleanup() is called from timer/softirq
context. These locks were _bh before commit f8ae737dee
("[BRIDGE]: forwarding remove unneeded preempt and bh diasables")
and at the time that commit was correct because br_fdb_update() couldn't be
called from process context, but that changed after commit:

Toshiaki Makita 25d3b493a5 bridge: Fix inability to add non-vlan fdb entry
Bridge's default_pvid adds a vid by default, by which we cannot add a
non-vlan fdb entry by default, because br_fdb_add() adds fdb entries for
all vlans instead of a non-vlan one when any vlan is configured.

 # ip link add br0 type bridge
 # ip link set eth0 master br0
 # bridge fdb add 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 master temp
 # bridge fdb show brport eth0 | grep 12:34:56:78:90:ab
 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 vlan 1 static

We expect a non-vlan fdb entry as well as vlan 1:
 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 static

To fix this, we need to insert a non-vlan fdb entry if vlan is not
specified, even when any vlan is configured.

Siva Mannem 9a05dde59a bridge: Let bridge not age 'externally' learnt FDB entries, they are removed when 'external' entity notifies the aging
When 'learned_sync' flag is turned on, the offloaded switch
 port syncs learned MAC addresses to bridge's FDB via switchdev notifier
 (NETDEV_SWITCH_FDB_ADD). Currently, FDB entries learnt via this mechanism are
 wrongly being deleted by bridge aging logic. This patch ensures that FDB
 entries synced from offloaded switch ports are not deleted by bridging logic.
 Such entries can only be deleted via switchdev notifier
 (NETDEV_SWITCH_FDB_DEL).

Johannes Berg 053c095a82 netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.

This makes the very common pattern of

  if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }

be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do

  return nlmsg_end(...);

and the caller is expected to deal with it.

This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write

  if (my_function(...))
    /* error condition */

and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.

Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.

Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did

-	return nlmsg_end(...);
+	nlmsg_end(...);
+	return 0;

I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.

One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

Hubert Sokolowski 6cb69742da net: Do not call ndo_dflt_fdb_dump if ndo_fdb_dump is defined
Add checking whether the call to ndo_dflt_fdb_dump is needed.
It is not expected to call ndo_dflt_fdb_dump unconditionally
by some drivers (i.e. qlcnic or macvlan) that defines
own ndo_fdb_dump. Other drivers define own ndo_fdb_dump
and don't want ndo_dflt_fdb_dump to be called at all.
At the same time it is desirable to call the default dump
function on a bridge device.
Fix attributes that are passed to dev->netdev_ops->ndo_fdb_dump.
Add extra checking in br_fdb_dump to avoid duplicate entries
as now filter_dev can be NULL.

Following tests for filtering have been performed before
the change and after the patch was applied to make sure
they are the same and it doesn't break the filtering algorithm.

Scott Feldman cf6b8e1eed bridge: add API to notify bridge driver of learned FBD on offloaded device
When the swdev device learns a new mac/vlan on a port, it sends some async
notification to the driver and the driver installs an FDB in the device.
To give a holistic system view, the learned mac/vlan should be reflected
in the bridge's FBD table, so the user, using normal iproute2 cmds, can view
what is currently learned by the device.  This API on the bridge driver gives
a way for the swdev driver to install an FBD entry in the bridge FBD table.
(And remove one).

This is equivalent to the device running these cmds:

  bridge fdb [add|del] <mac> dev <dev> vid <vlan id> master

This patch needs some extra eyeballs for review, in paricular around the
locking and contexts.

Toshiaki Makita 47fab41ab5 bridge: Don't include NDA_VLAN for FDB entries with vid 0
An FDB entry with vlan_id 0 doesn't mean it is used in vlan 0, but used when
vlan_filtering is disabled.

There is inconsistency around NDA_VLAN whose payload is 0 - even if we add
an entry by RTM_NEWNEIGH without any NDA_VLAN, and even though adding an
entry with NDA_VLAN 0 is prohibited, we get an entry with NDA_VLAN 0 by
RTM_GETNEIGH.

Dumping an FDB entry with vlan_id 0 shouldn't include NDA_VLAN.

Roopa Prabhu 41c389d72c bridge: Add bridge ifindex to bridge fdb notify msgs
(This patch was previously posted as RFC at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352677/)

This patch adds NDA_MASTER attribute to neighbour attributes enum for
bridge/master ifindex. And adds NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs.

Today bridge fdb notifications dont contain bridge information.
Userspace can derive it from the port information in the fdb
notification. However this is tricky in some scenarious.

Example, bridge port delete notification comes before bridge fdb
delete notifications. And we have seen problems in userspace
when using libnl where, the bridge fdb delete notification handling code
does not understand which bridge this fdb entry is part of because
the bridge and port association has already been deleted.
And these notifications (port membership and fdb) are generated on
separate rtnl groups.

Fixing the order of notifications could possibly solve the problem
for some cases (I can submit a separate patch for that).

This patch chooses to add NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs
because it not only solves the problem described above, but also helps
userspace avoid another lookup into link msgs to derive the master index.

Jon Maxwell c65c7a3066 bridge: notify user space after fdb update
There has been a number incidents recently where customers running KVM have
reported that VM hosts on different Hypervisors are unreachable. Based on
pcap traces we found that the bridge was broadcasting the ARP request out
onto the network. However some NICs have an inbuilt switch which on occasions
were broadcasting the VMs ARP request back through the physical NIC on the
Hypervisor. This resulted in the bridge changing ports and incorrectly learning
that the VMs mac address was external. As a result the ARP reply was directed
back onto the external network and VM never updated it's ARP cache. This patch
will notify the bridge command, after a fdb has been updated to identify such
port toggling.

Toshiaki Makita 424bb9c97c bridge: Properly check if local fdb entry can be deleted when deleting vlan
Vlan codes unconditionally delete local fdb entries.
We should consider the possibility that other ports have the same
address and vlan.

Example of problematic case:
  ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
  ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
  brctl addif br0 eth0
  brctl addif br0 eth1 # br0 will have mac address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
  bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10
  bridge vlan add dev eth1 vid 10
  bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 10 self
We will have fdb entry such that f->dst == eth0, f->vlan_id == 10 and
f->addr == 12:34:56:78:90:ab at this time.
Next, delete eth0 vlan 10.
  bridge vlan del dev eth0 vid 10
In this case, we still need the entry for br0, but it will be deleted.

Note that br0 needs the entry even though its mac address is not set
manually. To delete the entry with proper condition checking,
fdb_delete_local() is suitable to use.

Toshiaki Makita a778e6d1a5 bridge: Properly check if local fdb entry can be deleted in br_fdb_delete_by_port
br_fdb_delete_by_port() doesn't care about vlan and mac address of the
bridge device.

As the check is almost the same as mac address changing, slightly modify
fdb_delete_local() and use it.

Note that we can always set added_by_user to 0 in fdb_delete_local() because
- br_fdb_delete_by_port() calls fdb_delete_local() for local entries
  regardless of its added_by_user. In this case, we have to check if another
  port has the same address and vlan, and if found, we have to create the
  entry (by changing dst). This is kernel-added entry, not user-added.
- br_fdb_changeaddr() doesn't call fdb_delete_local() for user-added entry.

Toshiaki Makita 960b589f86 bridge: Properly check if local fdb entry can be deleted in br_fdb_change_mac_address
br_fdb_change_mac_address() doesn't check if the local entry has the
same address as any of bridge ports.
Although I'm not sure when it is beneficial, current implementation allow
the bridge device to receive any mac address of its ports.
To preserve this behavior, we have to check if the mac address of the
entry being deleted is identical to that of any port.

As this check is almost the same as that in br_fdb_changeaddr(), create
a common function fdb_delete_local() and call it from
br_fdb_changeadddr() and br_fdb_change_mac_address().

Toshiaki Makita 2b292fb4a5 bridge: Fix the way to check if a local fdb entry can be deleted
We should take into account the followings when deleting a local fdb
entry.

- nbp_vlan_find() can be used only when vid != 0 to check if an entry is
  deletable, because a fdb entry with vid 0 can exist at any time while
  nbp_vlan_find() always return false with vid 0.

  Example of problematic case:
    ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
    ip link set eth1 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
    brctl addif br0 eth0
    brctl addif br0 eth1
    ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
  Then, the fdb entry 12:34:56:78:90:ab will be deleted even though the
  bridge port eth1 still has that address.

- The port to which the bridge device is attached might needs a local entry
  if its mac address is set manually.

  Example of problematic case:
    ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
    brctl addif br0 eth0
    ip link set br0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
    ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
  Then, the fdb still must have the entry 12:34:56:78:90:ab, but it will be
  deleted.

We can use br->dev->addr_assign_type to check if the address is manually
set or not, but I propose another approach.

Since we delete and insert local entries whenever changing mac address
of the bridge device, we can change dst of the entry to NULL regardless of
addr_assign_type when deleting an entry associated with a certain port,
and if it is found to be unnecessary later, then delete it.
That is, if changing mac address of a port, the entry might be changed
to its dst being NULL first, but is eventually deleted when recalculating
and changing bridge id.

This approach is especially useful when we want to share the code with
deleting vlan in which the bridge device might want such an entry regardless
of addr_assign_type, and makes things easy because we don't have to consider
if mac address of the bridge device will be changed or not at the time we
delete a local entry of a port, which means fdb code will not be bothered
even if the bridge id calculating logic is changed in the future.

Also, this change reduces inconsistent state, where frames whose dst is the
mac address of the bridge, can't reach the bridge because of premature fdb
entry deletion. This change reduces the possibility that the bridge device
replies unreachable mac address to arp requests, which could occur during
the short window between calling del_nbp() and br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id()
in br_del_if(). This will effective after br_fdb_delete_by_port() starts to
use the same code by following patch.

Toshiaki Makita 2836882fe0 bridge: Fix the way to insert new local fdb entries in br_fdb_changeaddr
Since commit bc9a25d21e ("bridge: Add vlan support for local fdb entries"),
br_fdb_changeaddr() has inserted a new local fdb entry only if it can
find old one. But if we have two ports where they have the same address
or user has deleted a local entry, there will be no entry for one of the
ports.

Example of problematic case:
  ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
  ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
  brctl addif br0 eth0
  brctl addif br0 eth1 # eth1 will not have a local entry due to dup.
  ip link set eth1 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
Then, the new entry for the address 12:34:56:78:90:ab will not be
created, and the bridge device will not be able to communicate.

Insert new entries regardless of whether we can find old entries or not.

Toshiaki Makita a5642ab474 bridge: Fix the way to find old local fdb entries in br_fdb_changeaddr
br_fdb_changeaddr() assumes that there is at most one local entry per port
per vlan. It used to be true, but since commit 36fd2b63e3 ("bridge: allow
creating/deleting fdb entries via netlink"), it has not been so.
Therefore, the function might fail to search a correct previous address
to be deleted and delete an arbitrary local entry if user has added local
entries manually.

Example of problematic case:
  ip link set eth0 address ee:ff:12:34:56:78
  brctl addif br0 eth0
  bridge fdb add 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 master
  ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
Then, the address 12:34:56:78:90:ab might be deleted instead of
ee:ff:12:34:56:78, the original mac address of eth0.

Address this issue by introducing a new flag, added_by_user, to struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry.

Note that br_fdb_delete_by_port() has to set added_by_user to 0 in cases
like:
  ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
  ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
  brctl addif br0 eth0
  bridge fdb add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff dev eth0 master
  brctl addif br0 eth1
  brctl delif br0 eth0
In this case, kernel should delete the user-added entry aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,
but it also should have been added by "brctl addif br0 eth1" originally,
so we don't delete it and treat it a new kernel-created entry.

When I tried to set mac address of a bridge interface to a mac

The cause is straight forward: function br_fdb_change_mac_address
calls fdb_insert with NULL source nbp. Then an fdb lookup is
performed. If an fdb entry is found and it's local, it's OK. But
if it's not local, source is dereferenced for printk without NULL

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Eric Dumazet a399a80531 time: jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() helper to the rescue
Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed

This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed
to jiffies_to_clock_t().

This function has an overflow in :

return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ);

commit cbbc719fcc (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type

As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking
various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper
that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

will be handled by the master device as well so that current user
space tools continue to work as expected.

The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the
device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed
and programmed in the embedded bridge.

Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the
command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows
user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge
in sync.

There is a slight complication in the case with both flags set
when an error occurs. To resolve this the rtnl handler clears
the NTF_ flag in the netlink ack to indicate which sets completed
successfully. The add/del handlers will abort as soon as any
error occurs.

To support this new net device ops were added to call into
the device and the existing bridging code was refactored
to use these. There should be no required changes in user space
to support the current bridge behavior.

A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this,

          veth0  veth2
            |      |
          ------------
          |  bridge0 |   <---- software bridging
          ------------
               /
               /
  ethx.y      ethx
    VF         PF
     \         \          <---- propagate FDB entries to HW
     \         \
  --------------------
  |  Embedded Bridge |    <---- hardware offloaded switching
  --------------------

In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0'
to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing
the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which
then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood
these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the
embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific
to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this
into the DSA framework generates similar management issues.

Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then
delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled
ixgbe driver:

# br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3
# br fdb
port    mac addr                flags
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:58       static
veth0   9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec       local
eth3    00:1b:21:55:23:59       local
eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       static
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:57       static
#br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3
#br fdb
port    mac addr                flags
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:58       static
veth0   9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec       local
eth3    00:1b:21:55:23:59       local
eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       static
veth0   22:35:19:ac:60:57       static
eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       local embedded
#br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3

I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all. It
is my opinion that the merit of this patch is now embedded and SW
bridges can both be modeled correctly in user space using very nearly
the same message passing.

[1] 'br' tool was published as an RFC here and will be renamed 'bridge'
