2015-10-21netlink: Rightsize IFLA_AF_SPEC size calculationArad, Ronen
if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and rtnl_link_get_size(). The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN). This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size() and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops. Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications. br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops. br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

br_fill_ifinfo is called by br_ifinfo_notify which can be called from many contexts with different locks held, sometimes it relies upon bridge's spinlock only which is a problem for the vlan code, so use explicitly rcu for that to avoid problems.

2015-10-13bridge: vlan: use proper rcu for the vlgrp memberNikolay Aleksandrov
The bridge and port's vlgrp member is already used in RCU way, currently we rely on the fact that it cannot disappear while the port exists but that is error-prone and we might miss places with improper locking (either RCU or RTNL must be held to walk the vlan_list). So make it official and use RCU for vlgrp to catch offenders. Introduce proper vlgrp accessors and use them consistently throughout the code.

2015-10-12bridge: vlan: enforce no pvid flag in vlan rangesNikolay Aleksandrov
Currently it's possible for someone to send a vlan range to the kernel with the pvid flag set which will result in the pvid bouncing from a vlan to vlan and isn't correct, it also introduces problems for hardware where it doesn't make sense having more than 1 pvid. iproute2 already enforces this, so let's enforce it on kernel-side as well.

2015-10-04bridge: vlan: use rcu list for the ordered vlan listNikolay Aleksandrov
When I did the conversion to rhashtable I missed the required locking of one important user of the vlan list - br_get_link_af_size_filtered() which is called: br_ifinfo_notify() -> br_nlmsg_size() -> br_get_link_af_size_filtered() and the notifications can be sent without holding rtnl. Before this conversion the function relied on using rcu and since we already use rcu to destroy the vlans, we can simply migrate the list to use the rcu helpers.

2015-10-01bridge: vlan: move pvid inside net_bridge_vlan_groupNikolay Aleksandrov
One obvious way to converge more code (which was also used by the previous vlan code) is to move pvid inside net_bridge_vlan_group. This allows us to simplify some and remove other port-specific functions. Also gives us the ability to simply pass the vlan group and use all of the contained information.

2015-09-29bridge: vlan: add per-vlan struct and move to rhashtablesNikolay Aleksandrov
This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch. A few short goals of this patch are: - Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list - Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc) - Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come later) Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce: - per-vlan counters - vlan ingress/egress mapping - per-vlan igmp configuration - vlan priorities - avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues) The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce "port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further (thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!). Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths. VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries. A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps per-vlan data. One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be skipped. Things tested so far: - basic vlan ingress/egress - pvids - untagged vlans - undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING - adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx, while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc) - loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans - extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests - adding/deleting fdbs on vlans - bridge mac change, promisc mode - default pvid change - kmemleak ON during the whole time Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Furthermore, the device-side and bridge-side settings have their own initial value, viewable from bridge -d link show cmd. Restoring br_setlink back to original makes rocker (the only in-kernel user of SELF link settings) work as first implement: two-sided values. It's true that when both MASTER and SELF are specified from the command, two netlink notifications are generated, one for each side of the settings.
