net: bridge: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

2026-03-25T10:05:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit e5e890630533bdc15b26a34bb8e7ef539bdf1322 ] When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which initializes it. Then, if neigh_suppress is enabled and an ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery packet reaches the bridge, br_do_suppress_nd() will dereference ipv6_stub->nd_tbl which is NULL, passing it to neigh_lookup(). This causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000268 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [...] RIP: 0010:neigh_lookup+0x16/0xe0 [...] Call Trace: ? neigh_lookup+0x16/0xe0 br_do_suppress_nd+0x160/0x290 [bridge] br_handle_frame_finish+0x500/0x620 [bridge] br_handle_frame+0x353/0x440 [bridge] __netif_receive_skb_core.constprop.0+0x298/0x1110 __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x3d/0xa0 process_backlog+0xa0/0x140 __napi_poll+0x2c/0x170 net_rx_action+0x2c4/0x3a0 handle_softirqs+0xd0/0x270 do_softirq+0x3f/0x60 Fix this by replacing IS_ENABLED(IPV6) call with ipv6_mod_enabled() in the callers.

net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have at least eth header len bytes

[ Upstream commit 8bd67ebb50c0145fd2ca8681ab65eb7e8cde1afc ] syzbot triggered an uninit value[1] error in bridge device's xmit path by sending a short (less than ETH_HLEN bytes) skb.

skbuff: bridge: Add layer 2 miss indication

2023-05-31T06:37:00+00:00

For EVPN non-DF (Designated Forwarder) filtering we need to be able to prevent decapsulated traffic from being flooded to a multi-homed host. Filtering of multicast and broadcast traffic can be achieved using the following flower filter: # tc filter add dev bond0 egress pref 1 proto all flower indev vxlan0 dst_mac 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 action drop Unlike broadcast and multicast traffic, it is not currently possible to filter unknown unicast traffic. The classification into unknown unicast is performed by the bridge driver, but is not visible to other layers such as tc. Solve this by adding a new 'l2_miss' bit to the tc skb extension. Clear the bit whenever a packet enters the bridge (received from a bridge port or transmitted via the bridge) and set it if the packet did not match an FDB or MDB entry. If there is no skb extension and the bit needs to be cleared, then do not allocate one as no extension is equivalent to the bit being cleared. The bit is not set for broadcast packets as they never perform a lookup and therefore never incur a miss. A bit that is set for every flooded packet would also work for the current use case, but it does not allow us to differentiate between registered and unregistered multicast traffic, which might be useful in the future. To keep the performance impact to a minimum, the marking of packets is guarded by the 'tc_skb_ext_tc' static key. When 'false', the skb is not touched and an skb extension is not allocated. Instead, only a 5 bytes nop is executed, as demonstrated below for the call site in br_handle_frame(). Before the patch: ``` memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb)); c37b09: 49 c7 44 24 28 00 00 movq $0x0,0x28(%r12) c37b10: 00 00 p = br_port_get_rcu(skb->dev); c37b12: 49 8b 44 24 10 mov 0x10(%r12),%rax memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb)); c37b17: 49 c7 44 24 30 00 00 movq $0x0,0x30(%r12) c37b1e: 00 00 c37b20: 49 c7 44 24 38 00 00 movq $0x0,0x38(%r12) c37b27: 00 00 ``` After the patch (when static key is disabled): ``` memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb)); c37c29: 49 c7 44 24 28 00 00 movq $0x0,0x28(%r12) c37c30: 00 00 c37c32: 49 8d 44 24 28 lea 0x28(%r12),%rax c37c37: 48 c7 40 08 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x8(%rax) c37c3e: 00 c37c3f: 48 c7 40 10 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x10(%rax) c37c46: 00 #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_JUMP_LABEL_HACK static __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct static_key *key, bool branch) { asm_volatile_goto("1:" c37c47: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) br_tc_skb_miss_set(skb, false); p = br_port_get_rcu(skb->dev); c37c4c: 49 8b 44 24 10 mov 0x10(%r12),%rax ``` Subsequent patches will extend the flower classifier to be able to match on the new 'l2_miss' bit and enable / disable the static key when filters that match on it are added / deleted.

bridge: Pass VLAN ID to br_flood()

Subsequent patches are going to add per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, which will require br_flood() to potentially suppress ARP / NS packets on a per-{Port, VLAN} basis. As a preparation, pass the VLAN ID of the packet as another argument to br_flood(). Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: bridge: mcast: Move MDB handlers out of bridge driver

2023-03-17T08:05:48+00:00

Currently, the bridge driver registers handlers for MDB netlink messages, making it impossible for other drivers to implement MDB support. As a preparation for VXLAN MDB support, move the MDB handlers out of the bridge driver to the core rtnetlink code. The rtnetlink code will call into individual drivers by invoking their previously added MDB net device operations. Note that while the diffstat is large, the change is mechanical. It moves code out of the bridge driver to rtnetlink code. Also note that a similar change was made in 2012 with commit 77162022ab26 ("net: add generic PF_BRIDGE:RTM_ FDB hooks") that moved FDB handlers out of the bridge driver to the core rtnetlink code.

bridge: mcast: Implement MDB net device operations

2023-03-17T08:05:48+00:00

Implement the previously added MDB net device operations in the bridge driver so that they could be invoked by core rtnetlink code in the next patch. The operations are identical to the existing br_mdb_{dump,add,del} functions. The '_new' suffix will be removed in the next patch. The functions are re-implemented in this patch to make the conversion in the next patch easier to review. Add dummy implementations when 'CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING' is disabled, so that an error will be returned to user space when it is trying to add or delete an MDB entry. This is consistent with existing behavior where the bridge driver does not even register rtnetlink handlers for RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}MDB messages when this Kconfig option is disabled.

net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of .ndo_do_ioctl

2021-07-27T19:11:45+00:00

Working towards obsoleting the .ndo_do_ioctl operation entirely, stop passing the SIOCBRADDIF/SIOCBRDELIF device ioctl commands into this callback. My first attempt was to add another ndo_siocbr() callback, but as there is only a single driver that takes these commands and there is already a hook mechanism to call directly into this driver, extend this hook instead, and use it for both the deviceless and the device specific ioctl commands.
