Jiri Pirko 8a4eb5734e net: introduce rx_handler results and logic around that
This patch allows rx_handlers to better signalize what to do next to
it's caller. That makes skb->deliver_no_wcard no longer needed.

kernel-doc for rx_handler_result is taken from Nicolas' patch.

Herbert Xu 8a870178c0 bridge: Replace mp->mglist hlist with a bool
As it turns out we never need to walk through the list of multicast
groups subscribed by the bridge interface itself (the only time we'd
want to do that is when we shut down the bridge, in which case we
simply walk through all multicast groups), we don't really need to
keep an hlist for mp->mglist.

This means that we can replace it with just a single bit to indicate
whether the bridge interface is subscribed to a group.

Herbert Xu 91d2c34a4e bridge: Fix netpoll support
There are multiple problems with the newly added netpoll support:

1) Use-after-free on each netpoll packet.
2) Invoking unsafe code on netpoll/IRQ path.
3) Breaks when netpoll is enabled on the underlying device.

This patch fixes all of these problems.  In particular, we now
allocate proper netpoll structures for each underlying device.

We only allow netpoll to be enabled on the bridge when all the
devices underneath it support netpoll.  Once it is enabled, we
do not allow non-netpoll devices to join the bridge (until netpoll
is disabled again).

This allows us to do away with the npinfo juggling that caused
problem number 1.

Incidentally this patch fixes number 2 by bypassing unsafe code
such as multicast snooping and netfilter.

What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.

Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

Simon Arlott e0f43752a9 bridge: update sysfs link names if port device names have changed
Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device
name, but this could be changed after being added to the
bridge.

As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this
occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new
name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding
another interface with the old name to the bridge will
cause an error trying to create the sysfs link.

This fixes the problem by listening for NETDEV_CHANGENAME
notifications and renaming the link.

Michael Braun 7f7708f005 bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode
From: Michael Braun <michael-dev@fami-braun.de>

bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode

It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it
OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by
br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to
a non-null value).

Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that
 BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev
(as set in br_handle_frame_finish first)
only holds until br_forward is called.
The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails.

Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes
it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The
same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent
skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit
b33084be19 ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary
clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes
this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33.

I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been
modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used
and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

This patch allows the user to control the hash elasticity/max

the next new multicast group is added.  At which point it is
checked and if after rehashing it still can't be satisfied then
snooping will be disabled.

The max setting on the other hand takes effect immediately.  It
must be a power of two and cannot be set to a value less than the
current number of multicast group entries.  This is the only way
to shrink the multicast hash.

Herbert Xu eb1d164143 bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support
This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support
without actually hooking it up.  So this patch should be a no-op
as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned.

All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option
BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING.  A run-time toggle is also available.

The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is
lockless on the read-side through RCU.  On the write-side the
new multicast_lock is used for all operations.  The hash table
supports dynamic growth/rehashing.

The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
preset limit.  If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
length then snooping will be disabled.

These features may be added in future (in no particular order):

* IGMPv3 source support
* Non-querier router detection
* IPv6

Simon Wunderlich 4adf0af681 bridge: send correct MTU value in PMTU (revised)
When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses
the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU.  But
when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through
the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated.

However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this
situation.  The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame
size, and the same problem will occur again.

Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent
via PMTU.  To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored
in its net_bridge structure.

Modified to get rid of fake_net_device as well.

Pavel Emelyanov a339f1c881 bridge: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.
Even though bridges require 6 fields from struct net_device_stats,
the on-device stats are always there, so we may just use them.

The br_dev_get_stats is no longer required after this.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 43b98c4a66 Kobject: change net/bridge to use kobject_create_and_add
The kobject in the bridge code is only used for registering with sysfs,
not for any lifespan rules.  This patch changes it to be only a pointer
and use the simpler api for this kind of thing.

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Herbert Xu e081e1e3ef [BRIDGE]: Kill clone argument to br_flood_*
The clone argument is only used by one caller and that caller can clone
the packet itself.  This patch moves the clone call into the caller and
kills the clone argument.

Stephen Hemminger 9cde070874 bridge: add support for user mode STP
This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows
spanning tree to be controled from userspace.  Like hotplug, it
uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there
is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails
it falls back to existing kernel STP.

Stephen Hemminger 9cf637473c bridge: add sysfs hook to flush forwarding table
The RSTP daemon needs to be able to flush all dynamic forwarding
entries in the case of topology change.

This is a temporary interface. It will change to a netlink interface
before RSTP daemon is officially released.
