Now when we change the attributes of bridge or br_port by netlink,
a relevant netlink notification will be sent, but if we change them
by ioctl or sysfs, no notification will be sent.
We should ensure that whenever those attributes change internally or from
sysfs/ioctl, that a netlink notification is sent out to listeners.
Also, NetworkManager will use this in the future to listen for out-of-band
bridge master attribute updates and incorporate them into the runtime
configuration.
This patch is used for br_sysfs_br. and we also need to remove some
rtnl_trylock in old functions so that we can call it in a common one.
For group_addr_store, we cannot make it use store_bridge_parm, because
it's not a string-to-long convert, we will add notification on it
individually.

When VLANs are created / destroyed on a VLAN filtering bridge (MASTER
flag set), the configuration is passed down to the hardware. However,
when only the flags (e.g. PVID) are toggled, the configuration is done
in the software bridge alone.
While it is possible to pass these flags to hardware when invoked with
the SELF flag set, this creates inconsistency with regards to the way
the VLANs are initially configured.
Pass the flags down to the hardware even when the VLAN already exists
and only the flags are toggled.

switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was
invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top
of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the
underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular
VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port.
However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down
to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the
driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute.
This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply
enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device
and act accordingly.

This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables
instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we
need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more
advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be
extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is
changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch.
A few short goals of this patch are:
- Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list
- Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc)
- Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come
later)
Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce:
- per-vlan counters
- vlan ingress/egress mapping
- per-vlan igmp configuration
- vlan priorities
- avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues)
The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to
avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce
"port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further
(thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!).
Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port
rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its
global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a
sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible
behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths.
VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the
rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries.
A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps
per-vlan data.
One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up
in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an
existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper
br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the
lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be
skipped.
Things tested so far:
- basic vlan ingress/egress
- pvids
- untagged vlans
- undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING
- adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx,
while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc)
- loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans
- extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests
- adding/deleting fdbs on vlans
- bridge mac change, promisc mode
- default pvid change
- kmemleak ON during the whole time

v2:
Move struct switchdev_obj automatics to inner scope where there used.
v1:
To maintain backward compatibility with the existing iproute2 "bridge vlan"
command, let bridge's setlink/dellink handler call into either the port
driver's 8021q ndo ops or the port driver's bridge_setlink/dellink ops.
This allows port driver to choose 8021q ops or the newer
bridge_setlink/dellink ops when implementing VLAN add/del filtering on the
device. The iproute "bridge vlan" command does not need to be modified.
To summarize using the "bridge vlan" command examples, we have:
1) bridge vlan add|del vid VID dev DEV
Here iproute2 sets MASTER flag. Bridge's bridge_setlink/dellink is called.
Vlan is set on bridge for port. If port driver implements ndo 8021q ops,
call those to port driver can install vlan filter on device. Otherwise, if
port driver implements bridge_setlink/dellink ops, call those to install
vlan filter to device. This option only works if port is bridged.
2) bridge vlan add|del vid VID dev DEV master
Same as 1)
3) bridge vlan add|del vid VID dev DEV self
Bridge's bridge_setlink/dellink isn't called. Port driver's
bridge_setlink/dellink is called, if implemented. This option works if
port is bridged or not. If port is not bridged, a VLAN can still be
added/deleted to device filter using this variant.
4) bridge vlan add|del vid VID dev DEV master self
This is a combination of 1) and 3), but will only work if port is bridged.

The bridge code checks if vlan filtering is enabled on both
ingress and egress. When the state flip happens, it
is possible for the bridge to currently be forwarding packets
and forwarding behavior becomes non-deterministic. Bridge
may drop packets on some interfaces, but not others.
This patch solves this by caching the filtered state of the
packet into skb_cb on ingress. The skb_cb is guaranteed to
not be over-written between the time packet entres bridge
forwarding path and the time it leaves it. On egress, we
can then check the cached state to see if we need to
apply filtering information.

Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
is enabled in the kernel. When VLAN is disabled, the function
vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
packets. This seems to create an interesting interaction
between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.
There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver. These drivers also seem
to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
header already in the skb. When transmitting skbs that already
have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
failure to establish TCP connections.
The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
sender is a VM with a VLAN configued. The host VM is running on
doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
host is tg3:

This connection finally times out.
I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
only tested this with TG3 driver. There are a lot of other drivers
that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.
The patch attempt to fix this another way. It moves the vlan header
stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
kernel network core. This way, even if vlan is not supported on
a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
host will still work with VLANs enabled.

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
layer. See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.10.

There exist configurations where the administrator or another management
entity has the foreknowledge of all the mac addresses of end systems
that are being bridged together.
In these environments, the administrator can statically configure known
addresses in the bridge FDB and disable flooding and learning on ports.
This makes it possible to turn off promiscuous mode on the interfaces
connected to the bridge.
Here is why disabling flooding and learning allows us to control
promiscuity:
Consider port X. All traffic coming into this port from outside the
bridge (ingress) will be either forwarded through other ports of the
bridge (egress) or dropped. Forwarding (egress) is defined by FDB
entries and by flooding in the event that no FDB entry exists.
In the event that flooding is disabled, only FDB entries define
the egress. Once learning is disabled, only static FDB entries
provided by a management entity define the egress. If we provide
information from these static FDBs to the ingress port X, then we'll
be able to accept all traffic that can be successfully forwarded and
drop all the other traffic sooner without spending CPU cycles to
process it.
Another way to define the above is as following equations:
ingress = egress + drop
expanding egress
ingress = static FDB + learned FDB + flooding + drop
disabling flooding and learning we a left with
ingress = static FDB + drop
By adding addresses from the static FDB entries to the MAC address
filter of an ingress port X, we fully define what the bridge can
process without dropping and can thus turn off promiscuous mode,
thus dropping packets sooner.
There have been suggestions that we may want to allow learning
and update the filters with learned addresses as well. This
would require mac-level authentication similar to 802.1x to
prevent attacks against the hw filters as they are limited
resource.
Additionally, if the user places the bridge device in promiscuous mode,
all ports are placed in promiscuous mode regardless of the changes
to flooding and learning.
Since the above functionality depends on full static configuration,
we have also require that vlan filtering be enabled to take
advantage of this. The reason is that the bridge has to be
able to receive and process VLAN-tagged frames and the there
are only 2 ways to accomplish this right now: promiscuous mode
or vlan filtering.
