Toshiaki Makita says: ==================== bridge: 802.1ad vlan protocol support Currently bridge vlan filtering doesn't work fine with 802.1ad protocol. Only if a bridge is configured without pvid, the bridge receives only 802.1ad tagged frames and no STP is used, it will work. Otherwise: - If pvid is configured, it can put only 802.1Q tags but cannot put 802.1ad tags. - If 802.1Q and 802.1ad tagged frames arrive in mixture, it applies filtering regardless of their protocols. - While an 802.1ad bridge should use another mac address for STP BPDU and should forward customer's BPDU frames, it can't. Thus, we can't properly handle frames once 802.1ad is used. Handling 802.1ad is useful if we want to allow stacked vlans to be used, e.g., guest VMs wants to use vlan tags and the host also wants to segregate guest's traffic from other guests' by vlan tags. Here is the image describing how to configure a bridge to filter VMs traffic. +-------+p/u +-----+ +---------+ +----+ | |------|vnet0|--|User A VM| |eth0|--|802.1ad| +-----+ +---------+ +----+ |bridge |p/u +-----+ +---------+ | |------|vnet1|--|User B VM| +-------+ +-----+ +---------+ p/u: pvid/untagged This patch set enables us to set vlan protocols per bridge. This tries to implement a bridge like S-VLAN component in IEEE 802.1Q-2011 spec. Note that there is another possible implementation that sets vlan protocols per port. Some HW switches seem to take that approach. However, I think per-bridge approach is better, because; - I think the typical usage of an 802.1ad bridge is segregating 802.1Q tagged traffic (like what is described above), and this doesn't need the ability to be set protocols per port. Also, If a bridge has many ports and it supports per-port setting, we might have to make much more extra configurations to change protocols of all ports. - I assume that the main perpose to set protocol per port is to assign S-VID according to C-VID, or to realize two logical bridges (one is an 802.1Q filtering bridge and the other is an 802.1ad filtering bridge) in one bridge. The former usually needs additional features such as vlan id mapping, and is likely to make bridge's code complicated. If a user wants, such enhanced features can be accomplished by a combination of multiple bridges, so it is not absolutely necessary to implement these features in a bridge itself. The latter is simply unnecessary because we can easily make two bridges of which one is an 802.1Q bridge and the other is an 802.1ad bridge. Here is an example of the enhanced feature that we can realize by using multiple bridges and veth interfaces. This way is documented in IEEE 802.1Q-2011 clause 15.4 (C-tagged service interface). +----+ +-------+p/u +------+ +----+ +--+ |eth0|--|802.1ad|----veth----|802.1Q|--|vnet|--|VM| +----+ |bridge |----veth----|bridge| +----+ +--+ +-------+p/u +------+ p/u: pvid/untagged In this configuration, we can map C-VIDs to any S-VID. For example; C-VID 10 and 20 to S-VID 100 C-VID 30 to S-VID 110 This is achieved through the 802.1Q bridge that forwards C-tagged frames to proper ports of the 802.1ad bridge. Changes: v1 -> v2: - Make the way to forward bridge group addresses more generic by introducing new mask, group_fwd_mask_required. RFC -> v1: - Add S-TAG tx offload. - Remove a fix around stacked vlan which has already been fixed. - Take into account Bridge Group Addresses. - Separate handling of protocol-mismatch from br_vlan_get_tag(). - Change the way to set vlan_proto from netlink to sysfs because no other existing configuration per bridge can be set by netlink. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
