aeb7ed14fe bridge: use kobj_to_dev instead of to_dev
kobj_to_dev has been defined in linux/device.h, so I replace to_dev
with it.

af3793921d bridge: fix gc_timer mod/del race condition
commit c62987bbd8 ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to
switchdev") introduced a timer race condition because the gc_timer can
get rearmed after it's supposedly stopped and flushed in br_dev_delete()
leading to a use of freed memory. So take rtnl to sync with bridge
destruction when setting ageing_timer.
Here's the trace reproduced with these two commands running in parallel:
while :; do echo 10000 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/ageing_timer; done;
while :; do brctl addbr br0; ip l set br0 up; ip l set br0 down;
brctl delbr br0; done;

Use SWITCHDEV_F_SKIP_EOPNOTSUPP to skip over ports in bridge that don't
support setting ageing_time (or setting bridge attrs in general).

If push fails, don't update ageing_time in bridge and return err to user.

If push succeeds, update ageing_time in bridge and run gc_timer now to
recalabrate when to run gc_timer next, based on new ageing_time.

34666d467c netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core
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.

204177f3f3 bridge: Support 802.1ad vlan filtering
This enables us to change the vlan protocol for vlan filtering.
We come to be able to filter frames on the basis of 802.1ad vlan tags
through a bridge.

This also changes br->group_addr if it has not been set by user.
This is needed for an 802.1ad bridge.
(See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.5.)

Furthermore, this sets br->group_fwd_mask_required so that an 802.1ad
bridge can forward the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses except
for br->group_addr, which should be passed to higher layer.

To change the vlan protocol, write a protocol in sysfs:
# echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol

1c8ad5bfa2 bridge: use the bridge IP addr as source addr for querier
Quote from Adam:
"If it is believed that the use of 0.0.0.0
as the IP address is what is causing strange behaviour on other devices
then is there a good reason that a bridge rather than a router shouldn't
be the active querier? If not then using the bridge IP address and
having the querier enabled by default may be a reasonable solution
(provided that our querier obeys the election rules and shuts up if it
sees a query from a lower IP address that isn't 0.0.0.0). Just because a
device is the elected querier for IGMP doesn't appear to mean it is
required to perform any other routing functions."

And introduce a new troggle for it, as suggested by Herbert.

243a2e63f5 bridge: Add vlan filtering infrastructure
Adds an optional infrustructure component to bridge that would allow
native vlan filtering in the bridge.  Each bridge port (as well
as the bridge device) now get a VLAN bitmap.  Each bit in the bitmap
is associated with a vlan id.  This way if the bit corresponding to
the vid is set in the bitmap that the packet with vid is allowed to
enter and exit the port.

Write access the bitmap is protected by RTNL and read access
protected by RCU.

Vlan functionality is disabled by default.

b3343a2a2c net, ixgbe: handle link local multicast addresses in SR-IOV mode
In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.

   eth0.1     eth0.2     eth0
   VF         VF         PF
   |          |          |   <-- stand-in for uplink
   |          |          |
  --------------------------
  |  Embedded Switch       |
  --------------------------
              |
             MAC   <-- uplink

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 patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.

c5c2326059 bridge: Add multicast_querier toggle and disable queries by default
Sending general queries was implemented as an optimisation to speed
up convergence on start-up.  In order to prevent interference with
multicast routers a zero source address has to be used.

Unfortunately these packets appear to cause some multicast-aware
switches to misbehave, e.g., by disrupting multicast packets to us.

Since the multicast snooping feature still functions without sending
our own queries, this patch will change the default to not send
queries.

For those that need queries in order to speed up convergence on start-up,
a toggle is provided to restore the previous behaviour.

515853ccec bridge: allow forwarding some link local frames
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.

14f98f258f bridge: range check STP parameters
Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard.
   * Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl
   * Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs

This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul.

Note:
1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and
   forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are
   set as independant operations.

2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay

3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act
   as hub or be sticky.

4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority
   because more bits are reserved for port number.

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.

561f1103a2 bridge: Add multicast_snooping sysfs toggle
This patch allows the user to disable IGMP snooping completely
through a sysfs toggle.  It also allows the user to reenable
snooping when it has been automatically disabled due to hash
collisions.  If the collisions have not been resolved however
the system will refuse to reenable snooping.

0909e11758 bridge: Add multicast_router sysfs entries
This patch allows the user to forcibly enable/disable ports as
having multicast routers attached.  A port with a multicast router
will receive all multicast traffic.

The value 0 disables it completely.  The default is 1 which lets
the system automatically detect the presence of routers (currently
this is limited to picking up queries), and 2 means that the port
will always receive all multicast traffic.

524ad0a791 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-4
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

8d4698f7a5 bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zero
Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume
between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per
second.

He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2

and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface.
In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts
are specifying a hello timer interval of "0".

The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1
second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

91a6902958 sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes
Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

Bridge's communicate with each other using Spanning Tree Protocol
over a standard multicast address. There are times when testing or
layering bridges over existing topologies or tunnels, when it is
useful to use alternative multicast addresses for STP packets.

The 802.1d standard has some unused addresses, that can be used for this.
This patch is restrictive in that it only allows one of the possible
addresses in the standard.
