bridge: vlan: flush the dynamically learned entries on port vlan delete

2015-06-24T12:40:55+00:00

Add a new argument to br_fdb_delete_by_port which allows to specify a vid to match when flushing entries and use it in nbp_vlan_delete() to flush the dynamically learned entries of the vlan/port pair when removing a vlan from a port. Before this patch only the local mac was being removed and the dynamically learned ones were left to expire. Note that the do_all argument is still respected and if specified, the vid will be ignored. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Extend Proxy ARP design to allow optional rules for Wi-Fi

2015-03-05T19:52:23+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: David S.

bridge: Add support for IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP

2014-10-27T23:02:04+00:00

This feature is defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.23.13. It allows the AP devices to keep track of the hardware-address-to-IP-address mapping of the mobile devices within the WLAN network. The AP will learn this mapping via observing DHCP, ARP, and NS/NA frames. When a request for such information is made (i.e. ARP request, Neighbor Solicitation), the AP will respond on behalf of the associated mobile device. In the process of doing so, the AP will drop the multicast request frame that was intended to go out to the wireless medium. It was recommended at the LKS workshop to do this implementation in the bridge layer. vxlan.c is already doing something very similar. The DHCP snooping code will be added to the userspace application (hostapd) per the recommendation. This RFC commit is only for IPv4. A similar approach in the bridge layer will be taken for IPv6 as well. Signed-off-by: Kyeyoon Park Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Keep track of ports capable of automatic discovery.

2014-05-16T21:06:33+00:00

By default, ports on the bridge are capable of automatic discovery of nodes located behind the port. This is accomplished via flooding of unknown traffic (BR_FLOOD) and learning the mac addresses from these packets (BR_LEARNING). If the above functionality is disabled by turning off these flags, the port requires static configuration in the form of static FDB entries to function properly. This patch adds functionality to keep track of all ports capable of automatic discovery. This will later be used to control promiscuity settings. Acked-by: Michael S.

bridge: Turn flag change macro into a function.

bridge: add space before '(/{', after ',', etc.

bridge: Add a flag to control unicast packet flood.

2013-06-11T09:04:32+00:00

Add a flag to control flood of unicast traffic. By default, flood is on and the bridge will flood unicast traffic if it doesn't know the destination. When the flag is turned off, unicast traffic without an FDB will not be forwarded to the specified port. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Reviewed-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bridge: Add flag to control mac learning.

2013-06-11T09:04:32+00:00

Allow user to control whether mac learning is enabled on the port. By default, mac learning is enabled. Disabling mac learning will cause new dynamic FDB entries to not be created for a particular port. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
