so the switchdev can notifiy the bridge to flush non-permanent fdb entries
for this port. This is useful whenever the hardware fdb of the switchdev
is reset, but the netdev and the bridgeport are not deleted.
Note that this has the same effect as the IFLA_BRPORT_FLUSH attribute.

Most of the bridge device's vlan init bugs come from the fact that its
default pvid is created at the wrong time, way too early in ndo_init()
before the device is even assigned an ifindex. It introduces a bug when the
bridge's dev_addr is added as fdb during the initial default pvid creation
the notification has ifindex/NDA_MASTER both equal to 0 (see example below)
which really makes no sense for user-space[0] and is wrong.
Usually user-space software would ignore such entries, but they are
actually valid and will eventually have all necessary attributes.
It makes much more sense to send a notification *after* the device has
registered and has a proper ifindex allocated rather than before when
there's a chance that the registration might still fail or to receive
it with ifindex/NDA_MASTER == 0. Note that we can remove the fdb flush
from br_vlan_flush() since that case can no longer happen. At
NETDEV_REGISTER br->default_pvid is always == 1 as it's initialized by
br_vlan_init() before that and at NETDEV_UNREGISTER it can be anything
depending why it was called (if called due to NETDEV_REGISTER error
it'll still be == 1, otherwise it could be any value changed during the
device life time).
For the demonstration below a small change to iproute2 for printing all fdb
notifications is added, because it contained a workaround not to show
entries with ifindex == 0.
Command executed while monitoring: $ ip l add br0 type bridge
Before (both ifindex and master == 0):
$ bridge monitor fdb
36:7e:8a:b3:56:ba dev * vlan 1 master * permanent
After (proper br0 ifindex):
$ bridge monitor fdb
e6:2a:ae:7a:b7:48 dev br0 vlan 1 master br0 permanent
v4: move only the default pvid init/deinit to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER
v3: send the correct v2 patch with all changes (stub should return 0)
v2: on error in br_vlan_init set br->vlgrp to NULL and return 0 in
the br_vlan_bridge_event stub when bridge vlans are disabled

In the case of vlan filtering on bridges, the bridge may also have the
corresponding vlan devices as upper devices. A vlan bridge binding mode
is added to allow the link state of the vlan device to track only the
state of the subset of bridge ports that are also members of the vlan,
rather than that of all bridge ports. This mode is set with a vlan flag
rather than a bridge sysfs so that the 8021q module is aware that it
should not set the link state for the vlan device.
If bridge vlan is configured, the bridge device event handling results
in the link state for an upper device being set, if it is a vlan device
with the vlan bridge binding mode enabled. This also sets a
vlan_bridge_binding flag so that subsequent UP/DOWN/CHANGE events for
the ports in that bridge result in a link state update of the vlan
device if required.
The link state of the vlan device is up if there is at least one bridge
port that is a vlan member that is admin & oper up, otherwise its oper
state is IF_OPER_LOWERLAYERDOWN.

We have been adding many new bridge options, a big number of which are
boolean but still take up netlink attribute ids and waste space in the skb.
Recently we discussed learning from link-local packets[1] and decided
yet another new boolean option will be needed, thus introducing this API
to save some bridge nl space.
The API supports changing the value of multiple boolean options at once
via the br_boolopt_multi struct which has an optmask (which options to
set, bit per opt) and optval (options' new values). Future boolean
options will only be added to the br_boolopt_id enum and then will have
to be handled in br_boolopt_toggle/get. The API will automatically
add the ability to change and export them via netlink, sysfs can use the
single boolopt function versions to do the same. The behaviour with
failing/succeeding is the same as with normal netlink option changing.
If an option requires mapping to internal kernel flag or needs special
configuration to be enabled then it should be handled in
br_boolopt_toggle. It should also be able to retrieve an option's current
state via br_boolopt_get.
v2: WARN_ON() on unsupported option as that shouldn't be possible and
also will help catch people who add new options without handling
them for both set and get. Pass down extack so if an option desires
it could set it on error and be more user-friendly.

Currently, an FDB entry only ceases being offloaded when it is deleted.
This changes with VxLAN encapsulation.
Devices capable of performing VxLAN encapsulation usually have only one
FDB table, unlike the software data path which has two - one in the
bridge driver and another in the VxLAN driver.
Therefore, bridge FDB entries pointing to a VxLAN device are only
offloaded if there is a corresponding entry in the VxLAN FDB.
Allow clearing the offload indication in case the corresponding entry

As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring
bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on
port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour
and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each
such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to
set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it
is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards.
In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the
previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead
to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being
compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to
the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done
explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that
MTU to the minimum as before.

When switchdev drivers process FDB notifications from the underlying

the bridge using the switchdev notifier.
However, since the RTNL mutex is not held there is nothing preventing
the netdev from disappearing in the middle, which will cause
br_switchdev_event() to dereference a non-existing netdev.
Make switchdev drivers hold the lock at the beginning of the
notification processing session and release it once it ends, after
notifying the bridge.
Also, remove switchdev_mutex and fdb_lock, as they are no longer needed
when RTNL mutex is held.

Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since
this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that
don't need this.
This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus,
the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have
been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that.
Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that
bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe
bridge' or via automatic load through brctl.
However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter.
The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that
didn't notice that this has been deprecated.
On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software
layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to
enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users
seem to require.
This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this
is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely
modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.

There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter.
The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb
coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko.
br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload
in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and
transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility
of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that
goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as
ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which
is NULL.
