Vlad Yasevich e028e4b8dc bridge: Keep track of ports capable of automatic discovery.
By default, ports on the bridge are capable of automatic
discovery of nodes located behind the port.  This is accomplished
via flooding of unknown traffic (BR_FLOOD) and learning the
mac addresses from these packets (BR_LEARNING).
If the above functionality is disabled by turning off these
flags, the port requires static configuration in the form
of static FDB entries to function properly.

This patch adds functionality to keep track of all ports
capable of automatic discovery.  This will later be used
to control promiscuity settings.

Toshiaki Makita 30313a3d57 bridge: Handle IFLA_ADDRESS correctly when creating bridge device
When bridge device is created with IFLA_ADDRESS, we are not calling
br_stp_change_bridge_id(), which leads to incorrect local fdb
management and bridge id calculation, and prevents us from receiving
frames on the bridge device.

Toshiaki Makita ef40b7ef18 bridge: Use the correct bit length for bitmap functions in the VLAN code
The VLAN code needs to know the length of the per-port VLAN bitmap to
perform its most basic operations (retrieving VLAN informations, removing
VLANs, forwarding database manipulation, etc). Unfortunately, in the
current implementation we are using a macro that indicates the bitmap
size in longs in places where the size in bits is expected, which in
some cases can cause what appear to be random failures.
Use the correct macro.

The handlers should only be removed once all bridges are gone, but
since we don't keep track of the number of bridge interfaces, it's

consistent, move the registration code into module initialization
code path.

Why would you want to do this?
If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully

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

stephen hemminger 25c71c75ac bridge: bridge port parameters over netlink
Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested
message, this can be used for other bridge parameters.

This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested
set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the
old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses
 IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED.

The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays
compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field
for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old
code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use
with old versions of bridge monitor command.

Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a
full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more
values (like macvlan has).

John Fastabend 2469ffd723 net: set and query VEB/VEPA bridge mode via PF_BRIDGE
Hardware switches may support enabling and disabling the
loopback switch which puts the device in a VEPA mode defined
in the IEEE 802.1Qbg specification. In this mode frames are
not switched in the hardware but sent directly to the switch.
SR-IOV capable NICs will likely support this mode I am
aware of at least two such devices. Also I am told (but don't
have any of this hardware available) that there are devices
that only support VEPA modes. In these cases it is important
at a minimum to be able to query these attributes.

This patch adds an additional IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute that can be
set and dumped via the PF_BRIDGE:{SET|GET}LINK operations. Also
anticipating bridge attributes that may be common for both embedded
bridges and software bridges this adds a flags attribute
IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS currently used to determine if the command or event
is being generated to/from an embedded bridge or software bridge.
Finally, the event generation is pulled out of the bridge module and
into rtnetlink proper.

For example using the macvlan driver in VEPA mode on top of
an embedded switch requires putting the embedded switch into
a VEPA mode to get the expected results.

	--------  --------
        | VEPA |  | VEPA |       <-- macvlan vepa edge relays
        --------  --------
           |        |
           |        |
        ------------------
        |      VEPA      |       <-- embedded switch in NIC
        ------------------
                |
                |
        -------------------
        | external switch |      <-- shiny new physical
	-------------------          switch with VEPA support

A packet sent from the macvlan VEPA at the top could be
loopbacked on the embedded switch and never seen by the
external switch. So in order for this to work the embedded
switch needs to be set in the VEPA state via the above
described commands.

By making these attributes nested in IFLA_AF_SPEC we allow
future extensions to be made as needed.

John Fastabend 77162022ab net: add generic PF_BRIDGE:RTM_ FDB hooks
This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can
now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should
be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master'
device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge,
or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command
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

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'

Thanks to Jamal Hadi Salim, Stephen Hemminger and Ben Hutchings for
valuable feedback, suggestions, and review.

v2: fixed api descriptions and error case with both NTF_SELF and
    NTF_MASTER set plus updated patch description.

Vitalii Demianets b03b6dd58c bridge: master device stuck in no-carrier state forever when in user-stp mode
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.

stephen hemminger 1ce5cce895 bridge: fix hang on removal of bridge via netlink
Need to cleanup bridge device timers and ports when being bridge
device is being removed via netlink.

This fixes the problem of observed when doing:
 ip link add br0 type bridge
 ip link set dev eth1 master br0
 ip link set br0 up
 ip link del br0

which would cause br0 to hang in unregister_netdev because
of leftover reference count.

Greg Rose c7ac8679be rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size
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.

Eric Dumazet e67f88dd12 net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks
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 :

1c2d670f36 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks
6313c1e099 : [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()

stephen hemminger bb900b27a2 bridge: allow creating bridge devices with netlink
Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink.
This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding.

Example:
  # ip link add link dev br0 type bridge
  # ip link del dev br0

The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with
being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens
in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback
to deal with allocation failure. Sysfs setup has to wait until
after the network device kobject is registered.

If more information is desired in future, the netlink method is
