net: bridge: use sysfs_emit instead of sprintf

2026-02-04T03:19:42+00:00

Replace sprintf with sysfs_emit in sysfs show() methods as outlined in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst. sysfs_emit is preferred to sprintf in sysfs show() methods as it is safer with buffer handling.

kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users

2026-01-21T03:44:19+00:00

Remove from and update all users/callers of hex.h interfaces to directly #include as part of the process of putting kernel.h on a diet. Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that need it. This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also, all users/callers of in the entire source tree have been updated if needed (if not already #included).

sysfs: treewide: switch back to bin_attribute::read()/write()

2025-06-17T08:44:13+00:00

The bin_attribute argument of bin_attribute::read() is now const. This makes the _new() callbacks unnecessary. Switch all users back.

bridge: Fix flushing of dynamic FDB entries

2022-11-03T03:47:09+00:00

The following commands should result in all the dynamic FDB entries being flushed, but instead all the non-local (non-permanent) entries are flushed: # bridge fdb add 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee dev dummy1 master static # bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 master dynamic # ip link set dev br0 type bridge fdb_flush # bridge fdb show brport dummy1 00:00:00:00:00:01 master br0 permanent 33:33:00:00:00:01 self permanent 01:00:5e:00:00:01 self permanent This is because br_fdb_flush() works with FDB flags and not the corresponding enumerator values. Fix by passing the FDB flag instead. After the fix: # bridge fdb add 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee dev dummy1 master static # bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev dummy1 master dynamic # ip link set dev br0 type bridge fdb_flush # bridge fdb show brport dummy1 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee master br0 static 00:00:00:00:00:01 master br0 permanent 33:33:00:00:00:01 self permanent 01:00:5e:00:00:01 self permanent Fixes: 1f78ee14eeac ("net: bridge: fdb: add support for fine-grained flushing") Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221101185753.2120691-1-idosch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: bridge: fdb: add support for fine-grained flushing

2022-04-13T11:46:26+00:00

Add the ability to specify exactly which fdbs to be flushed. They are described by a new structure - net_bridge_fdb_flush_desc. Currently it can match on port/bridge ifindex, vlan id and fdb flags. It is used to describe the existing dynamic fdb flush operation. Note that this flush operation doesn't treat permanent entries in a special way (fdb_delete vs fdb_delete_local), it will delete them regardless if any port is using them, so currently it can't directly replace deletes which need to handle that case, although we can extend it later for that too.

net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce startup query interval minimum

2021-12-29T20:59:38+00:00

As reported[1] if startup query interval is set too low in combination with large number of startup queries and we have multiple bridges or even a single bridge with multiple querier vlans configured we can crash the machine. Add a 1 second minimum which must be enforced by overwriting the value if set lower (i.e. without returning an error) to avoid breaking user-space. If that happens a log message is emitted to let the admin know that the startup interval has been set to the minimum. It doesn't make sense to make the startup interval lower than the normal query interval so use the same value of 1 second. The issue has been present since these intervals could be user-controlled.
