2024-02-08bridge: use exit_batch_rtnl() methodEric Dumazet1-10/+5
exit_batch_rtnl() is called while RTNL is held, and devices to be unregistered can be queued in the dev_kill_list. This saves one rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock() pair per netns and one unregister_netdevice_many() call.

2023-07-21net: switchdev: Add a helper to replay objects on a bridge portPetr Machata1-0/+8
When a front panel joins a bridge via another netdevice (typically a LAG), the driver needs to learn about the objects configured on the bridge port. When the bridge port is offloaded by the driver for the first time, this can be achieved by passing a notifier to switchdev_bridge_port_offload(). The notifier is then invoked for the individual objects (such as VLANs) configured on the bridge, and can look for the interesting ones. Calling switchdev_bridge_port_offload() when the second port joins the bridge lower is unnecessary, but the replay is still needed. To that end, add a new function, switchdev_bridge_port_replay(), which does only the replay part of the _offload() function in exactly the same way as that function.

2022-11-10bridge: switchdev: Allow device drivers to install locked FDB entriesHans J. Schultz1-1/+2
When the bridge is offloaded to hardware, FDB entries are learned and aged-out by the hardware. Some device drivers synchronize the hardware and software FDBs by generating switchdev events towards the bridge. When a port is locked, the hardware must not learn autonomously, as otherwise any host will blindly gain authorization. Instead, the hardware should generate events regarding hosts that are trying to gain authorization and their MAC addresses should be notified by the device driver as locked FDB entries towards the bridge driver. Allow device drivers to notify the bridge driver about such entries by extending the 'switchdev_notifier_fdb_info' structure with the 'locked' bit. The bit can only be set by device drivers and not by the bridge driver. Prevent a locked entry from being installed if MAB is not enabled on the bridge port. If an entry already exists in the bridge driver, reject the locked entry if the current entry does not have the "locked" flag set or if it points to a different port. The same semantics are implemented in the software data path. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

2022-11-10bridge: switchdev: Let device drivers determine FDB offload indicationIdo Schimmel1-1/+1
Currently, FDB entries that are notified to the bridge via 'SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE' are always marked as offloaded. With MAB enabled, this will no longer be universally true. Device drivers will report locked FDB entries to the bridge to let it know that the corresponding hosts required authorization, but it does not mean that these entries are necessarily programmed in the underlying hardware. Solve this by determining the offload indication based of the 'offloaded' bit in the FDB notification.

2022-03-18net: bridge: mst: Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) modeTobias Waldekranz1-0/+5
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.

This is closest to the behaviour we had before and avoids breaking any use cases which were allowed.

2021-08-04net: make switchdev_bridge_port_{,unoffload} loosely coupled with the bridgeVladimir Oltean1-1/+50
With the introduction of explicit offloading API in switchdev in commit 2f5dc00f7a3e ("net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform which bridge ports are offloaded"), we started having Ethernet switch drivers calling directly into a function exported by net/bridge/br_switchdev.c, which is a function exported by the bridge driver. This means that drivers that did not have an explicit dependency on the bridge before, like cpsw and am65-cpsw, now do - otherwise it is not possible to call a symbol exported by a driver that can be built as module unless you are a module too. There was an attempt to solve the dependency issue in the form of commit b0e81817629a ("net: build all switchdev drivers as modules when the bridge is a module"). Grygorii Strashko, however, says about it: | In my opinion, the problem is a bit bigger here than just fixing the | build :( | | In case, of ^cpsw the switchdev mode is kinda optional and in many | cases (especially for testing purposes, NFS) the multi-mac mode is | still preferable mode. | | There were no such tight dependency between switchdev drivers and | bridge core before and switchdev serviced as independent, notification | based layer between them, so ^cpsw still can be "Y" and bridge can be | "M". Now for mostly every kernel build configuration the CONFIG_BRIDGE | will need to be set as "Y", or we will have to update drivers to | support build with BRIDGE=n and maintain separate builds for | networking vs non-networking testing. But is this enough? Wouldn't | it cause 'chain reaction' required to add more and more "Y" options | (like CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q)? | | PS. Just to be sure we on the same page - ARM builds will be forced | (with this patch) to have CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV=m and so all our | automation testing will just fail with omap2plus_defconfig. In the light of this, it would be desirable for some configurations to avoid dependencies between switchdev drivers and the bridge, and have the switchdev mode as completely optional within the driver. Arnd Bergmann also tried to write a patch which better expressed the build time dependency for Ethernet switch drivers where the switchdev support is optional, like cpsw/am65-cpsw, and this made the drivers follow the bridge (compile as module if the bridge is a module) only if the optional switchdev support in the driver was enabled in the first place: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210802144813.1152762-1-arnd@kernel.org/ but this still did not solve the fact that cpsw and am65-cpsw now must be built as modules when the bridge is a module - it just expressed correctly that optional dependency. But the new behavior is an apparent regression from Grygorii's perspective. So to support the use case where the Ethernet driver is built-in, NET_SWITCHDEV (a bool option) is enabled, and the bridge is a module, we need a framework that can handle the possible absence of the bridge from the running system, i.e. runtime bloatware as opposed to build-time bloatware. Luckily we already have this framework, since switchdev has been using it extensively. Events from the bridge side are transmitted to the driver side using notifier chains - this was originally done so that unrelated drivers could snoop for events emitted by the bridge towards ports that are implemented by other drivers (think of a switch driver with LAG offload that listens for switchdev events on a bonding/team interface that it offloads). There are also events which are transmitted from the driver side to the bridge side, which again are modeled using notifiers. SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is an example of this, and deals with notifying the bridge that a MAC address has been dynamically learned. So there is a precedent we can use for modeling the new framework. The difference compared to SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is that the work that the bridge needs to do when a port becomes offloaded is blocking in its nature: replay VLANs, MDBs etc. The calling context is indeed blocking (we are under rtnl_mutex), but the existing switchdev notification chain that the bridge is subscribed to is only the atomic one. So we need to subscribe the bridge to the blocking switchdev notification chain too. This patch: - keeps the driver-side perception of the switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload unchanged - moves the implementation of switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload from the bridge module into the switchdev module. - makes everybody that is subscribed to the switchdev blocking notifier chain "hear" offload & unoffload events - makes the bridge driver subscribe and handle those events - moves the bridge driver's handling of those events into 2 new functions called br_switchdev_port_{,un}offload. These functions contain in fact the core of the logic that was previously in switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload, just that now we go through an extra indirection layer to reach them. Unlike all the other switchdev notification structures, the structure used to carry the bridge port information, struct switchdev_notifier_brport_info, does not contain a "bool handled". This is because in the current usage pattern, we always know that a switchdev bridge port offloading event will be handled by the bridge, because the switchdev_bridge_port_offload() call was initiated by a NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event in the first place, where info->upper_dev is a bridge. So if the bridge wasn't loaded, then the CHANGEUPPER event couldn't have happened.

2021-08-03net: bridge: validate the NUD_PERMANENT bit when adding an extern_learn FDB ↵Vladimir Oltean1-1/+2
entry Currently it is possible to add broken extern_learn FDB entries to the bridge in two ways: 1. Entries pointing towards the bridge device that are not local/permanent: ip link add br0 type bridge bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn static 2. Entries pointing towards the bridge device or towards a port that are marked as local/permanent, however the bridge does not process the 'permanent' bit in any way, therefore they are recorded as though they aren't permanent: ip link add br0 type bridge bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn permanent Since commit 52e4bec15546 ("net: bridge: switchdev: treat local FDBs the same as entries towards the bridge"), these incorrect FDB entries can even trigger NULL pointer dereferences inside the kernel. This is because that commit made the assumption that all FDB entries that are not local/permanent have a valid destination port. For context, local / permanent FDB entries either have fdb->dst == NULL, and these point towards the bridge device and are therefore local and not to be used for forwarding, or have fdb->dst == a net_bridge_port structure (but are to be treated in the same way, i.e. not for forwarding). That assumption _is_ correct as long as things are working correctly in the bridge driver, i.e. we cannot logically have fdb->dst == NULL under any circumstance for FDB entries that are not local. However, the extern_learn code path where FDB entries are managed by a user space controller show that it is possible for the bridge kernel driver to misinterpret the NUD flags of an entry transmitted by user space, and end up having fdb->dst == NULL while not being a local entry. This is invalid and should be rejected. Before, the two commands listed above both crashed the kernel in this check from br_switchdev_fdb_notify: struct net_device *dev = info.is_local ? br->dev : dst->dev; info.is_local == false, dst == NULL. After this patch, the invalid entry added by the first command is rejected: ip link add br0 type bridge && bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn static; ip link del br0 Error: bridge: FDB entry towards bridge must be permanent. and the valid entry added by the second command is properly treated as a local address and does not crash br_switchdev_fdb_notify anymore: ip link add br0 type bridge && bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn permanent; ip link del br0 Fixes: eb100e0e24a2 ("net: bridge: allow to add externally learned entries from user-space") Reported-by: syzbot+9ba1174359adba5a5b7c@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Acked-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210801231730.7493-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2019-08-05net: bridge: move default pvid init/deinit to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTERNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+4
Most of the bridge device's vlan init bugs come from the fact that its default pvid is created at the wrong time, way too early in ndo_init() before the device is even assigned an ifindex. It introduces a bug when the bridge's dev_addr is added as fdb during the initial default pvid creation the notification has ifindex/NDA_MASTER both equal to 0 (see example below) which really makes no sense for user-space[0] and is wrong. Usually user-space software would ignore such entries, but they are actually valid and will eventually have all necessary attributes. It makes much more sense to send a notification *after* the device has registered and has a proper ifindex allocated rather than before when there's a chance that the registration might still fail or to receive it with ifindex/NDA_MASTER == 0. Note that we can remove the fdb flush from br_vlan_flush() since that case can no longer happen. At NETDEV_REGISTER br->default_pvid is always == 1 as it's initialized by br_vlan_init() before that and at NETDEV_UNREGISTER it can be anything depending why it was called (if called due to NETDEV_REGISTER error it'll still be == 1, otherwise it could be any value changed during the device life time). For the demonstration below a small change to iproute2 for printing all fdb notifications is added, because it contained a workaround not to show entries with ifindex == 0. Command executed while monitoring: $ ip l add br0 type bridge Before (both ifindex and master == 0): $ bridge monitor fdb 36:7e:8a:b3:56:ba dev * vlan 1 master * permanent After (proper br0 ifindex): $ bridge monitor fdb e6:2a:ae:7a:b7:48 dev br0 vlan 1 master br0 permanent v4: move only the default pvid init/deinit to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER v3: send the correct v2 patch with all changes (stub should return 0) v2: on error in br_vlan_init set br->vlgrp to NULL and return 0 in the br_vlan_bridge_event stub when bridge vlans are disabled [0] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204389 Reported-by: michael-dev <michael-dev@fami-braun.de> Fixes: 5be5a2df40f0 ("bridge: Add filtering support for default_pvid") Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Acked-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-04-19bridge: support binding vlan dev link state to vlan member bridge portsMike Manning1-4/+9
In the case of vlan filtering on bridges, the bridge may also have the corresponding vlan devices as upper devices. A vlan bridge binding mode is added to allow the link state of the vlan device to track only the state of the subset of bridge ports that are also members of the vlan, rather than that of all bridge ports. This mode is set with a vlan flag rather than a bridge sysfs so that the 8021q module is aware that it should not set the link state for the vlan device. If bridge vlan is configured, the bridge device event handling results in the link state for an upper device being set, if it is a vlan device with the vlan bridge binding mode enabled. This also sets a vlan_bridge_binding flag so that subsequent UP/DOWN/CHANGE events for the ports in that bridge result in a link state update of the vlan device if required. The link state of the vlan device is up if there is at least one bridge port that is a vlan member that is admin & oper up, otherwise its oper state is IF_OPER_LOWERLAYERDOWN.

We have been adding many new bridge options, a big number of which are boolean but still take up netlink attribute ids and waste space in the skb. Recently we discussed learning from link-local packets[1] and decided yet another new boolean option will be needed, thus introducing this API to save some bridge nl space. The API supports changing the value of multiple boolean options at once via the br_boolopt_multi struct which has an optmask (which options to set, bit per opt) and optval (options' new values). Future boolean options will only be added to the br_boolopt_id enum and then will have to be handled in br_boolopt_toggle/get. The API will automatically add the ability to change and export them via netlink, sysfs can use the single boolopt function versions to do the same. The behaviour with failing/succeeding is the same as with normal netlink option changing. If an option requires mapping to internal kernel flag or needs special configuration to be enabled then it should be handled in br_boolopt_toggle. It should also be able to retrieve an option's current state via br_boolopt_get. v2: WARN_ON() on unsupported option as that shouldn't be possible and also will help catch people who add new options without handling them for both set and get. Pass down extack so if an option desires it could set it on error and be more user-friendly.

Devices capable of performing VxLAN encapsulation usually have only one FDB table, unlike the software data path which has two - one in the bridge driver and another in the VxLAN driver.

2018-04-01net: bridge: disable bridge MTU auto tuning if it was set manuallyNikolay Aleksandrov1-1/+1
As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

When switchdev drivers process FDB notifications from the underlying device they resolve the netdev to which the entry points to and notify the bridge using the switchdev notifier. However, since the RTNL mutex is not held there is nothing preventing the netdev from disappearing in the middle, which will cause br_switchdev_event() to dereference a non-existing netdev. Make switchdev drivers hold the lock at the beginning of the notification processing session and release it once it ends, after notifying the bridge. Also, remove switchdev_mutex and fdb_lock, as they are no longer needed when RTNL mutex is held.

Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that don't need this. This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus, the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that. Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe bridge' or via automatic load through brctl. However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter. The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that didn't notice that this has been deprecated. On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users seem to require. This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.
