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.

If a bridge is an 802.1ad bridge, it must forward another bridge group
addresses (the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses).
(For details, see IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.6.3.)
As user might not want group_fwd_mask to be modified by enabling 802.1ad,
introduce a new mask, group_fwd_mask_required, which indicates addresses
the bridge wants to forward. This will be set by enabling 802.1ad.

br_handle_local_finish() is allowing us to insert an FDB entry with
disallowed vlan. For example, when port 1 and 2 are communicating in
vlan 10, and even if vlan 10 is disallowed on port 3, port 3 can
interfere with their communication by spoofed src mac address with
vlan id 10.
Note: Even if it is judged that a frame should not be learned, it should
not be dropped because it is destined for not forwarding layer but higher

br_allowed_ingress() has two problems.
1. If br_allowed_ingress() is called by br_handle_frame_finish() and
vlan_untag() in br_allowed_ingress() fails, skb will be freed by both
vlan_untag() and br_handle_frame_finish().
2. If br_allowed_ingress() is called by br_dev_xmit() and
br_allowed_ingress() fails, the skb will not be freed.
Fix these two problems by freeing the skb in br_allowed_ingress()

When the vlan filtering is enabled on the bridge, but
the filter is not configured on the bridge device itself,
running tcpdump on the bridge device will result in a
an Oops with NULL pointer dereference. The reason
is that br_pass_frame_up() will bypass the vlan
check because promisc flag is set. It will then try
to get the table pointer and process the packet based
on the table. Since the table pointer is NULL, we oops.
Catch this special condition in br_handle_vlan().

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.

Currently we would still potentially suffer multicast packet loss if there
is just either an IGMP or an MLD querier: For the former case, we would
possibly drop IPv6 multicast packets, for the latter IPv4 ones. This is
because we are currently assuming that if either an IGMP or MLD querier
is present that the other one is present, too.
This patch makes the behaviour and fix added in
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b)
to also work if there is either just an IGMP or an MLD querier on the

If there is no querier on a link then we won't get periodic reports and
therefore won't be able to learn about multicast listeners behind ports,
potentially leading to lost multicast packets, especially for multicast
listeners that joined before the creation of the bridge.
These lost multicast packets can appear since c5c2326059
("bridge: Add multicast_querier toggle and disable queries by default")
in particular.
With this patch we are flooding multicast packets if our querier is
disabled and if we didn't detect any other querier.

give multicast responses enough time to arrive and to be learned from
before disabling the flooding behaviour again.

But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.
In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.

This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments
by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience
this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements,
and compatibility with earlier releases.
It adds a new sysfs attribute
/sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask
that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X
The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility.
One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group
addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This
choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards.
I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow
the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default.
The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward
known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts
to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows
forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

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.

we did the local port last. Therefore this patch rearranges the
bridge input processing so that the local bridge port gets to see
the packet last (if at all).

Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned
off. This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on)
from being able to detect loops in the network.
With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP
multicast group address is forwarded to all ports.
Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes
to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization
that only last octet needs to be checked.

Any frame addressed to link-local addresses should be processed by local
receive path. The earlier code would process them only if STP was enabled.
Since there are other frames like LACP for bonding, we should always
process them.
