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 Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
