* bridge: Use the correct bit length for bitmap functions in the VLAN codeToshiaki Makita2013-08-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* bridge: add root port blockingstephen hemminger2012-11-151-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is Linux bridge implementation of root port guard. If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not be elected as root port. Why would you want to do this? If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic. 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 resolution in netfilter module.

* bridge: bridge port parameters over netlinkstephen hemminger2012-11-151-33/+132
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* net: set and query VEB/VEPA bridge mode via PF_BRIDGEJohn Fastabend2012-10-311-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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 # br fdb port mac addr flags veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static #br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3 #br fdb port mac addr flags veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:58 static veth0 9a:5f:81:f7:f6:ec local eth3 00:1b:21:55:23:59 local eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 static veth0 22:35:19:ac:60:57 static eth3 22:35:19:ac:60:59 local embedded #br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3 I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all.

* net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacksEric Dumazet2011-05-031-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move.

| | | | | | | | | | Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate the device serves as a bridge port.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

* netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.
