  • eb1d16414   bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support
    without actually hooking it up. So this patch should be a no-op
    as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned.

    All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option
    BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING. A run-time toggle is also available.

    The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is
    lockless on the read-side through RCU. On the write-side the
    new multicast_lock is used for all operations. The hash table
    supports dynamic growth/rehashing.

    The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
    preset limit. If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
    length then snooping will be disabled.

    These features may be added in future (in no particular order):

    * IGMPv3 source support
    * Non-querier router detection
    * IPv6

  • 11dc1f36a   [BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link management ... Browse Code »

    Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including:
    * dump interfaces in bridges
    * monitor link status changes
    * change state of bridge port

    For some demo programs see:

    These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative
    implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
