* bridge: add per-port broadcast flood flagMike Manning2017-04-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for l2 multicast flood control was added in commit b6cb5ac8331b ("net: bridge: add per-port multicast flood flag"). It allows broadcast as it was introduced specifically for unknown multicast flood control. But as broadcast is a special case of multicast, this may also need to be disabled. For this purpose, introduce a flag to disable the flooding of received l2 broadcasts. This approach is backwards compatible and provides flexibility in filtering for the desired packet types.

* bridge: uapi: add per vlan tunnel infoRoopa Prabhu2017-02-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New nested netlink attribute to associate tunnel info per vlan. This is used by bridge driver to send tunnel metadata to bridge ports in vlan tunnel mode. This patch also adds new per port flag IFLA_BRPORT_VLAN_TUNNEL to enable vlan tunnel mode. off by default. One example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). User can configure per-vlan tunnel information which the bridge driver can use to bridge vlan into the corresponding vn-segment.

* bridge: multicast to unicastFelix Fietkau2017-01-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implements an optional, per bridge port flag and feature to deliver multicast packets to any host on the according port via unicast individually. This is done by copying the packet per host and changing the multicast destination MAC to a unicast one accordingly. multicast-to-unicast works on top of the multicast snooping feature of the bridge. Which means unicast copies are only delivered to hosts which are interested in it and signalized this via IGMP/MLD reports previously. This feature is intended for interface types which have a more reliable and/or efficient way to deliver unicast packets than broadcast ones (e.g. wifi). However, it should only be enabled on interfaces where no IGMPv2/MLDv1 report suppression takes place. This feature is disabled by default. The initial patch and idea is from Felix Fietkau.

* bridge: allow zero ageing timeStephen Hemminger2016-03-111-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a regression in the bridge ageing time caused by: commit c62987bbd8a1 ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev") There are users of Linux bridge which use the feature that if ageing time is set to 0 it causes entries to never expire. See: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge For a pure software bridge, it is unnecessary for the code to have arbitrary restrictions on what values are allowable.

* bridge: Extend Proxy ARP design to allow optional rules for Wi-FiJouni Malinen2015-03-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the design in commit 958501163ddd ("bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be configured from user space when required. In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames. The key differences in functionality: BR_PROXYARP: - uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was received to determine whether to reply - block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP BR_PROXYARP_WIFI: - uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the request belongs - block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp functionality replied Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* bridge: add API to notify bridge driver of learned FBD on offloaded deviceScott Feldman2014-12-021-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the swdev device learns a new mac/vlan on a port, it sends some async notification to the driver and the driver installs an FDB in the device. To give a holistic system view, the learned mac/vlan should be reflected in the bridge's FBD table, so the user, using normal iproute2 cmds, can view what is currently learned by the device. This API on the bridge driver gives a way for the swdev driver to install an FBD entry in the bridge FBD table. (And remove one). This is equivalent to the device running these cmds: bridge fdb [add|del] <mac> dev <dev> vid <vlan id> master This patch needs some extra eyeballs for review, in paricular around the locking and contexts.

* bridge: export knowledge about the presence of IGMP/MLD queriersLinus Lüssing2014-07-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch other modules are able to ask the bridge whether an IGMP or MLD querier exists on the according, bridged link layer. Multicast snooping can only be performed if a valid, selected querier exists on a link. Just like the bridge only enables its multicast snooping if a querier exists, e.g. batman-adv too can only activate its multicast snooping in bridged scenarios if a querier is present. For instance this export avoids having to reimplement IGMP/MLD querier message snooping and parsing in e.g. batman-adv, when multicast optimizations for bridged scenarios are added in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | broute table init hook sets up the "br_should_route_hook" pointer, which then gets called from br_input. commit a386f99025f13b32502fe5dedf223c20d7283826 (bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook) introduced a typedef, and then changed this to: br_should_route_hook_t *rhook; [..] rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook); if (*rhook(skb)) problem is that "br_should_route_hook" contains the address of the function, so calling *rhook() results in kernel panic.

* net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5Jiri Pirko2010-06-021-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to 256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so the upper bits are lost when doing: brctl showmacs The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

* [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+113
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
