bridge: move to workqueue gc

2017-02-07T03:53:13+00:00

Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10 milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.

In netdevice.h we removed the structure in net-next that is being changes in 'net'. In macsec.c and rtnetlink.c we have overlaps between fixes in 'net' and the u64 attribute changes in 'net-next'. The mlx5 conflicts have to do with vxlan support dependencies. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: bridge: fix old ioctl unlocked net device walk

2016-05-06T03:32:30+00:00

get_bridge_ifindices() is used from the old "deviceless" bridge ioctl calls which aren't called with rtnl held. The comment above says that it is called with rtnl but that is not really the case. Here's a sample output from a test ASSERT_RTNL() which I put in get_bridge_ifindices and executed "brctl show": [ 957.422726] RTNL: assertion failed at net/bridge//br_ioctl.c (30) [ 957.422925] CPU: 0 PID: 1862 Comm: brctl Tainted: G W O 4.6.0-rc4+ #157 [ 957.423009] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.8.1-20150318_183358- 04/01/2014 [ 957.423009] 0000000000000000 ffff880058adfdf0 ffffffff8138dec5 0000000000000400 [ 957.423009] ffffffff81ce8380 ffff880058adfe58 ffffffffa05ead32 0000000000000001 [ 957.423009] 00007ffec1a444b0 0000000000000400 ffff880053c19130 0000000000008940 [ 957.423009] Call Trace: [ 957.423009] [] dump_stack+0x85/0xc0 [ 957.423009] [] br_ioctl_deviceless_stub+0x212/0x2e0 [bridge] [ 957.423009] [] sock_ioctl+0x22b/0x290 [ 957.423009] [] do_vfs_ioctl+0x95/0x700 [ 957.423009] [] SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 [ 957.423009] [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc1 Since it only reads bridge ifindices, we can use rcu to safely walk the net device list.

bridge: a netlink notification should be sent when those attributes are changed by ioctl

2016-04-14T02:42:33+00:00

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 ioctl.

bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev

2015-10-12T12:20:20+00:00

Use SWITCHDEV_F_SKIP_EOPNOTSUPP to skip over ports in bridge that don't support setting ageing_time (or setting bridge attrs in general). If push fails, don't update ageing_time in bridge and return err to user. If push succeeds, update ageing_time in bridge and run gc_timer now to recalabrate when to run gc_timer next, based on new ageing_time.

bridge: fix br_stp_set_bridge_priority race conditions

2015-06-18T10:29:47+00:00

After the ->set() spinlocks were removed br_stp_set_bridge_priority was left running without any protection when used via sysfs. It can race with port add/del and could result in use-after-free cases and corrupted lists. Tested by running port add/del in a loop with stp enabled while setting priority in a loop, crashes are easily reproducible. The spinlocks around sysfs ->set() were removed in commit: 14f98f258f19 ("bridge: range check STP parameters") There's also a race condition in the netlink priority support that is fixed by this change, but it was introduced recently and the fixes tag covers it, just in case it's needed the commit is: af615762e972 ("bridge: add ageing_time, stp_state, priority over netlink") Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Fixes: 14f98f258f19 ("bridge: range check STP parameters") Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Allow userns root to control the network bridge code.

2012-11-19T01:33:00+00:00

Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then created a network namespace to effectively use the new network namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_NET_RAW) calls to be ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), or capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) calls. Allow setting bridge paramters via sysfs. Allow all of the bridge ioctls: BRCTL_ADD_IF BRCTL_DEL_IF BRCTL_SET_BRDIGE_FORWARD_DELAY BRCTL_SET_BRIDGE_HELLO_TIME BRCTL_SET_BRIDGE_MAX_AGE BRCTL_SET_BRIDGE_AGING_TIME BRCTL_SET_BRIDGE_STP_STATE BRCTL_SET_BRIDGE_PRIORITY BRCTL_SET_PORT_PRIORITY BRCTL_SET_PATH_COST BRCTL_ADD_BRIDGE BRCTL_DEL_BRDIGE Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
