  • Adds an optional infrustructure component to bridge that would allow
    native vlan filtering in the bridge. Each bridge port (as well
    as the bridge device) now get a VLAN bitmap. Each bit in the bitmap
    is associated with a vlan id. This way if the bit corresponding to
    the vid is set in the bitmap that the packet with vid is allowed to
    enter and exit the port.

    Write access the bitmap is protected by RTNL and read access
    protected by RCU.

    Vlan functionality is disabled by default.

  • V5: fix two bugs pointed out by Thomas
    remove seq check for now, mark it as TODO

    V4: remove some useless #include
    some coding style fix

    V3: drop debugging printk's
    update selinux perm table as well

    V2: drop patch 1/2, export ifindex directly
    Redesign netlink attributes
    Improve netlink seq check
    Handle IPv6 addr as well

    This patch exports bridge multicast database via netlink
    message type RTM_GETMDB. Similar to fdb, but currently bridge-specific.
    We may need to support modify multicast database too (RTM_{ADD,DEL}MDB).

    (Thanks to Thomas for patient reviews)

  • 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

  • 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:
    http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz

    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!
