  • get_bridge_ifindices() is used from the old "deviceless" bridge ioctl
    calls which aren't called with rtnl held. The comment above says that it is
    called with rtnl but that is not really the case.
    Here's a sample output from a test ASSERT_RTNL() which I put in
    get_bridge_ifindices and executed "brctl show":

    Since it only reads bridge ifindices, we can use rcu to safely walk the net
    device list. Also remove the wrong rtnl comment above.

  • Now when we change the attributes of bridge or br_port by netlink,
    a relevant netlink notification will be sent, but if we change them
    by ioctl or sysfs, no notification will be sent.

    We should ensure that whenever those attributes change internally or from
    sysfs/ioctl, that a netlink notification is sent out to listeners.

    Also, NetworkManager will use this in the future to listen for out-of-band
    bridge master attribute updates and incorporate them into the runtime
    configuration.

    This patch is used for ioctl.

  • Use SWITCHDEV_F_SKIP_EOPNOTSUPP to skip over ports in bridge that don't
    support setting ageing_time (or setting bridge attrs in general).

    If push fails, don't update ageing_time in bridge and return err to user.

    If push succeeds, update ageing_time in bridge and run gc_timer now to
    recalabrate when to run gc_timer next, based on new ageing_time.

  • After the ->set() spinlocks were removed br_stp_set_bridge_priority
    was left running without any protection when used via sysfs. It can
    race with port add/del and could result in use-after-free cases and
    corrupted lists. Tested by running port add/del in a loop with stp
    enabled while setting priority in a loop, crashes are easily
    reproducible.
    The spinlocks around sysfs ->set() were removed in commit:
    14f98f258f19 ("bridge: range check STP parameters")
    There's also a race condition in the netlink priority support that is
    fixed by this change, but it was introduced recently and the fixes tag
    covers it, just in case it's needed the commit is:
    af615762e972 ("bridge: add ageing_time, stp_state, priority over netlink")

  • Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then
    created a network namespace to effectively use the new network
    namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) and
    capable(CAP_NET_RAW) calls to be ns_capable(net->user_ns,
    CAP_NET_ADMIN), or capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) calls.

    Allow setting bridge paramters via sysfs.

    Allow all of the bridge ioctls:
    BRCTL_ADD_IF

  • Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard.
    * Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl
    * Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs

    This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul.

    Note:
    1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and
    forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are
    set as independant operations.

    2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay

    3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act
    as hub or be sticky.

    4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority
    because more bits are reserved for port number.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
    namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
    network namespace variable, and then it picks up
    a few associated variables. The functions:
    dev_getbyhwaddr
    dev_getfirsthwbytype
    dev_get_by_flags
    dev_get_by_name
    __dev_get_by_name
    dev_get_by_index
    __dev_get_by_index
    dev_ioctl
    dev_ethtool
    dev_load
    wireless_process_ioctl

    were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
    deal with it.

    vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
    hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

    So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
    affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
    multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
    simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
    namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
    stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

    For now the ifindex generator is left global.

    Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
    we will have corner case problems with migration when
    we get that far.

    At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
    that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
    the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
    the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
    you change namespaces, and the like.

  • Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
    list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
    and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
    loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
    first_netdev()/next_netdev().

  • This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows
    spanning tree to be controled from userspace. Like hotplug, it
    uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there
    is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails
    it falls back to existing kernel STP.

  • This change goes with earlier change to get rid of
    work queue for path cost. Now stp_set_path_cost does its own
    locking. This is to allow it to call br_path_cost() which calls
    ethtool interfaces (might sleep).

  • 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!
