Since the introduction of the netlink configuration path for bridge
ports in commit 25c71c75ac ("bridge: bridge port parameters over
netlink"), br_setport() was always called with the bridge lock held
around it. Back then this decision made sense: The bridge lock protects
the STP state of the bridge and its ports and at that time the function
only processed three STP related netlink attributes (cost, priority and
state).
Nowadays, br_setport() processes a lot more attributes and most of them
do not need the bridge lock:
* Bridge flags: Only require RTNL. Read locklessly by the data path.
Annotations can be added in net-next.
* FDB port flushing: Only requires the FDB lock.
* Multicast attributes: Only require the multicast lock.
* Group forward mask: Only requires RTNL. Read locklessly by the data
path. Annotations can be added in net-next.
* Backup port and NHID: Only require RTNL. Read locklessly by the data
path.
This is a problem as the bridge calls dev_set_promiscuity() when certain
bridge port flags change and this function can sleep since the commit
cited below, resulting in a splat such as [1].
Fix this by reducing the scope of the bridge lock and only take it when
processing the three STP related attributes that require it. This is
consistent with the multicast attributes where each attribute acquires
the multicast lock instead of having one critical section for all
relevant attributes.

The bridge-stp usermode helper is currently restricted to the initial
network namespace, preventing userspace STP daemons (e.g. mstpd) from
operating on bridges in other network namespaces. Since commit
ff62198553 ("bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial
network namespace"), bridges in non-init namespaces silently fall
back to kernel STP with no way to use userspace STP.
Add a new bridge attribute IFLA_BR_STP_MODE that allows explicit
per-bridge control over STP mode selection:
BR_STP_MODE_AUTO (default) - Existing behavior: invoke the
/sbin/bridge-stp helper in init_net only; fall back to kernel STP
if it fails or in non-init namespaces.
BR_STP_MODE_USER - Directly enable userspace STP (BR_USER_STP)
without invoking the helper. Works in any network namespace.
Userspace is responsible for ensuring an STP daemon manages the
bridge.
BR_STP_MODE_KERNEL - Directly enable kernel STP (BR_KERNEL_STP)
without invoking the helper.
The mode can only be changed while STP is disabled, or set to the
same value (-EBUSY otherwise). IFLA_BR_STP_MODE is processed before
IFLA_BR_STP_STATE in br_changelink(), so both can be set atomically
in a single netlink message. The mode can also be changed in the
same message that disables STP.
The stp_mode struct field is u8 since all possible values fit, while
NLA_U32 is used for the netlink attribute since it occupies the same
space in the netlink message as NLA_U8.
A new stp_helper_active boolean tracks whether the /sbin/bridge-stp
helper was invoked during br_stp_start(), so that br_stp_stop() only
calls the helper for stop when it was called for start. This avoids
calling the helper asymmetrically when stp_mode changes between
start and stop.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
- target netns - where to put the device being created,
- link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
- peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | source | target |
| absent +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | link | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
| | absent | peer | target |
| present +-------------------+---------+---------+
| | present | peer | link |
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.
To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params->net trivially.

Add a new bridge port attribute that allows attaching a nexthop object
ID to an skb that is redirected to a backup bridge port with VLAN
tunneling enabled.
Specifically, when redirecting a known unicast packet, read the backup
nexthop ID from the bridge port that lost its carrier and set it in the
bridge control block of the skb before forwarding it via the backup
port. Note that reading the ID from the bridge port should not result in
a cache miss as the ID is added next to the 'backup_port' field that was
already accessed. After this change, the 'state' field still stays on
the first cache line, together with other data path related fields such
as 'flags and 'vlgrp':
struct net_bridge_port {
struct net_bridge * br; /* 0 8 */
struct net_device * dev; /* 8 8 */
netdevice_tracker dev_tracker; /* 16 0 */
struct list_head list; /* 16 16 */
long unsigned int flags; /* 32 8 */
struct net_bridge_vlan_group * vlgrp; /* 40 8 */
struct net_bridge_port * backup_port; /* 48 8 */
u32 backup_nhid; /* 56 4 */
u8 priority; /* 60 1 */
u8 state; /* 61 1 */
u16 port_no; /* 62 2 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
[...]
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
When forwarding an skb via a bridge port that has VLAN tunneling
enabled, check if the backup nexthop ID stored in the bridge control
block is valid (i.e., not zero). If so, instead of attaching the
pre-allocated metadata (that only has the tunnel key set), allocate a
new metadata, set both the tunnel key and the nexthop object ID and
attach it to the skb.
By default, do not dump the new attribute to user space as a value of
zero is an invalid nexthop object ID.
The above is useful for EVPN multihoming. When one of the links
composing an Ethernet Segment (ES) fails, traffic needs to be redirected
towards the host via one of the other ES peers. For example, if a host
is multihomed to three different VTEPs, the backup port of each ES link
needs to be set to the VXLAN device and the backup nexthop ID needs to
point to an FDB nexthop group that includes the IP addresses of the
other two VTEPs. The VXLAN driver will extract the ID from the metadata
of the redirected skb, calculate its flow hash and forward it towards
one of the other VTEPs. If the ID does not exist, or represents an
invalid nexthop object, the VXLAN driver will drop the skb. This
relieves the bridge driver from the need to validate the ID.

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 77162022ab ("net: add

The previous patch added accounting for number of MDB entries per port and

configured bounds. However it didn't provide means to actually configure
those bounds or read the occupancy. This patch does that.
Two new netlink attributes are added for the MDB occupancy:
IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_N_GROUPS for the per-port occupancy and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_MCAST_N_GROUPS for the per-port-VLAN occupancy.
And another two for the maximum number of MDB entries:
IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_MAX_GROUPS for the per-port maximum, and
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_MCAST_MAX_GROUPS for the per-port-VLAN one.
Note that the two new IFLA_BRPORT_ attributes prompt bumping of
RTNL_SLAVE_MAX_TYPE to size the slave attribute tables large enough.

Hosts that support 802.1X authentication are able to authenticate
themselves by exchanging EAPOL frames with an authenticator (Ethernet
bridge, in this case) and an authentication server. Access to the
network is only granted by the authenticator to successfully
authenticated hosts.
The above is implemented in the bridge using the "locked" bridge port
option. When enabled, link-local frames (e.g., EAPOL) can be locally
received by the bridge, but all other frames are dropped unless the host
is authenticated. That is, unless the user space control plane installed
an FDB entry according to which the source address of the frame is
located behind the locked ingress port. The entry can be dynamic, in
which case learning needs to be enabled so that the entry will be
refreshed by incoming traffic.
There are deployments in which not all the devices connected to the
authenticator (the bridge) support 802.1X. Such devices can include
printers and cameras. One option to support such deployments is to
unlock the bridge ports connecting these devices, but a slightly more
secure option is to use MAB. When MAB is enabled, the MAC address of the
connected device is used as the user name and password for the
authentication.
For MAB to work, the user space control plane needs to be notified about
MAC addresses that are trying to gain access so that they will be
compared against an allow list. This can be implemented via the regular
learning process with the sole difference that learned FDB entries are
installed with a new "locked" flag indicating that the entry cannot be
used to authenticate the device. The flag cannot be set by user space,
but user space can clear the flag by replacing the entry, thereby
authenticating the device.
Locked FDB entries implement the following semantics with regards to
roaming, aging and forwarding:
1. Roaming: Locked FDB entries can roam to unlocked (authorized) ports,
in which case the "locked" flag is cleared. FDB entries cannot roam
to locked ports regardless of MAB being enabled or not. Therefore,
locked FDB entries are only created if an FDB entry with the given {MAC,
VID} does not already exist. This behavior prevents unauthenticated
devices from disrupting traffic destined to already authenticated
devices.
2. Aging: Locked FDB entries age and refresh by incoming traffic like
regular entries.
3. Forwarding: Locked FDB entries forward traffic like regular entries.
If user space detects an unauthorized MAC behind a locked port and
wishes to prevent traffic with this MAC DA from reaching the host, it
can do so using tc or a different mechanism.
Enable the above behavior using a new bridge port option called "mab".
It can only be enabled on a bridge port that is both locked and has
learning enabled. Locked FDB entries are flushed from the port once MAB
is disabled. A new option is added because there are pure 802.1X
deployments that are not interested in notifications about locked FDB
entries.

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

After commit b6c02ef549 ("bridge: Netlink interface fix."),
br_fill_ifinfo() started to send an empty IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute when a
bridge vlan dump is requested but an interface does not have any vlans
configured.
iproute2 ignores such an empty attribute since commit b262a9becbcb
("bridge: Fix output with empty vlan lists") but older iproute2 versions as
well as other utilities have their output changed by the cited kernel
commit, resulting in failed test cases. Regardless, emitting an empty
attribute is pointless and inefficient.
Avoid this change by canceling the attribute if no AF_SPEC data was added.

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.

Make it possible to change the port state in a given MSTI by extending
the bridge port netlink interface (RTM_SETLINK on PF_BRIDGE).The
proposed iproute2 interface would be:
bridge mst set dev <PORT> msti <MSTI> state <STATE>
Current states in all applicable MSTIs can also be dumped via a
corresponding RTM_GETLINK. The proposed iproute interface looks like
this:
$ bridge mst
port msti
vb1 0
state forwarding
100
state disabled
vb2 0
state forwarding
100
state forwarding
The preexisting per-VLAN states are still valid in the MST
mode (although they are read-only), and can be queried as usual if one
is interested in knowing a particular VLAN's state without having to
care about the VID to MSTI mapping (in this example VLAN 20 and 30 are
bound to MSTI 100):
$ bridge -d vlan
port vlan-id
vb1 10
state forwarding mcast_router 1
20
state disabled mcast_router 1
30
state disabled mcast_router 1
40
state forwarding mcast_router 1
vb2 10
state forwarding mcast_router 1
20
state forwarding mcast_router 1
30
state forwarding mcast_router 1
40
state forwarding mcast_router 1

In a 802.1X scenario, clients connected to a bridge port shall not
be allowed to have traffic forwarded until fully authenticated.
A static fdb entry of the clients MAC address for the bridge port
unlocks the client and allows bidirectional communication.
This scenario is facilitated with setting the bridge port in locked
mode, which is also supported by various switchcore chipsets.

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.

`[BRIDGE_QUERIER_IP_PORT] - bridge port ifindex where the querier was
