<id>urn:sha1:ec7328b59176227216c461601c6bd0e922232a9b</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow the user to switch from the current per-VLAN STP mode to an MST
mode.

Up to this point, per-VLAN STP states where always isolated from each
other. This is in contrast to the MSTP standard (802.1Q-2018, Clause
13.5), where VLANs are grouped into MST instances (MSTIs), and the
state is managed on a per-MSTI level, rather that at the per-VLAN
level.

Perhaps due to the prevalence of the standard, many switching ASICs
are built after the same model. Therefore, add a corresponding MST
mode to the bridge, which we can later add offloading support for in a
straight-forward way.

For now, all VLANs are fixed to MSTI 0, also called the Common
Spanning Tree (CST). That is, all VLANs will follow the port-global
state.

Upcoming changes will make this actually useful by allowing VLANs to
be mapped to arbitrary MSTIs and allow individual MSTI states to be
changed.

<content type='text'>
Add functions to create, destroy and lookup an EHT host. These are
per-host entries contained in the eht_host_tree in net_bridge_port_group
which are used to store a list of all sources (S,G) entries joined for that
group by each host, the host's current filter mode and total number of
joined entries.
No functional changes yet, these would be used in later patches.

This is the implementation of CFM netlink configuration
set information interface.

Add new nested netlink attributes. These attributes are used by the
user space to create/delete/configure CFM instances.

SETLINK:
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM:
        Indicate that the following attributes are CFM.

    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_MEP_CREATE:
        This indicate that a MEP instance must be created.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_MEP_DELETE:
        This indicate that a MEP instance must be deleted.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_MEP_CONFIG:
        This indicate that a MEP instance must be configured.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_CONFIG:
        This indicate that a MEP instance Continuity Check (CC)
        functionality must be configured.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_PEER_MEP_ADD:
        This indicate that a CC Peer MEP must be added.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_PEER_MEP_REMOVE:
        This indicate that a CC Peer MEP must be removed.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_CCM_TX:
        This indicate that the CC transmitted CCM PDU must be configured.
    IFLA_BRIDGE_CFM_CC_RDI:
        This indicate that the CC transmitted CCM PDU RDI must be
        configured.

CFM nested attribute has the following attributes in next level.

        The created MEP direction.
        The type is u32 (br_cfm_mep_direction).
        It must be BR_CFM_MEP_DIRECTION_DOWN.

<id>urn:sha1:86a14b79e1d0fa023f82d7c2dde888fa64af2c65</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the first commit of the implementation of the CFM protocol
according to 802.1Q section 12.14.

It contains MEP instance create, delete and configuration.

Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) comprises capabilities for
detecting, verifying, and isolating connectivity failures in
Virtual Bridged Networks. These capabilities can be used in
networks operated by multiple independent organizations, each
with restricted management access to each others equipment.

CFM functions are partitioned as follows:
    - Path discovery
    - Fault detection
    - Fault verification and isolation
    - Fault notification
    - Fault recovery

Interface consists of these functions:
br_cfm_mep_create()
br_cfm_mep_delete()
br_cfm_mep_config_set()
br_cfm_cc_config_set()
br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_add()
br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_remove()

A MEP instance is created by br_cfm_mep_create()
    -It is the Maintenance association End Point
     described in 802.1Q section 19.2.
    -It is created on a specific level (1-7) and is assuring
     that no CFM frames are passing through this MEP on lower levels.
    -It initiates and validates CFM frames on its level.
    -It can only exist on a port that is related to a bridge.
    -Attributes given cannot be changed until the instance is
     deleted.

A MEP instance can be deleted by br_cfm_mep_delete().

A created MEP instance has attributes that can be
configured by br_cfm_mep_config_set().

A MEP Continuity Check feature can be configured by
br_cfm_cc_config_set()
    The Continuity Check Receiver state machine can be
    enabled and disabled.
    According to 802.1Q section 19.2.8

A MEP can have Peer MEPs added and removed by
br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_add() and br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_remove()
    The Continuity Check feature can maintain connectivity
    status on each added Peer MEP.

<content type='text'>
Implement the MRP API.

In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will try to generate
the frames. In case that also the SW will fail in generating the frames then a
error is return to the userspace. The userspace is responsible to generate all
the other MRP frames regardless if the test frames are generated by HW or SW.

The forwarding/termination of MRP frames is happening in the kernel and is done
by the MRP instance. The userspace application doesn't do the forwarding.

We'll be dumping the options for the whole range if they're equal. The
first range vlan will be used to extract the options. The commit doesn't
change anything yet it just adds the skeleton for the support. The dump
will happen when the first option is added.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This patch adds a new bridge port flag BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS to
suppress arp and nd flood on bridge ports. It implements
rfc7432, section 10.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10
for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing
BR_PROXYARP* flags but has a few semantic differences to conform
to EVPN standard. Unlike the existing flags, this new flag suppresses
flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp and nd) to tunnel ports.
Supports both vlan filtering and non-vlan filtering bridges.

In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding
of arp and nd packets to tunnel ports like vxlan.

This patch adds netlink and sysfs support to set this bridge port
flag.
