As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

If the bridge is allowing multiple VLANs, some VLANs may have different MTUs. Instead of choosing the minimum MTU for the bridge interface, choose the maximum MTU of the bridge members. With this the user only needs to set a larger MTU on the member ports that are participating in the large MTU VLANS.

Before this patch the bridge used a fixed 256 element hash table which was fine for small use cases (in my tests it starts to degrade above 1000 entries), but it wasn't enough for medium or large scale deployments. Modern setups have thousands of participants in a single bridge, even only enabling vlans and adding a few thousand vlan entries will cause a few thousand fdbs to be automatically inserted per participating port. So we need to scale the fdb table considerably to cope with modern workloads, and this patch converts it to use a rhashtable for its operations thus improving the bridge scalability. Tests show the following results (10 runs each), at up to 1000 entries rhashtable is ~3% slower, at 2000 rhashtable is 30% faster, at 3000 it is 2 times faster and at 30000 it is 50 times faster. Obviously this happens because of the properties of the two constructs and is expected, rhashtable keeps pretty much a constant time even with 10000000 entries (tested), while the fixed hash table struggles considerably even above 10000. As a side effect this also reduces the net_bridge struct size from 3248 bytes to 1344 bytes. Also note that the key struct is 8 bytes.

Currently the bridge device doesn't generate any notifications upon vlan modifications on itself because it doesn't use the generic bridge notifications. With the recent changes we know if anything was modified in the vlan config thus we can generate a notification when necessary for the bridge device so add support to br_ifinfo_notify() similar to how other combined functions are done - if port is present it takes precedence, otherwise notify about the bridge. I've explicitly marked the locations where the notification should be always for the port by setting bridge to NULL. I've also taken the liberty to rearrange each modified function's local variables in reverse xmas tree as well.

Before this patch there was no way to tell if the vlan add operation actually changed anything, thus we would always generate a notification on adds. Let's make the notifications more precise and generate them only if anything changed, so use the new bool parameter to signal that the vlan was updated. We cannot return an error because there are valid use cases that will be broken (e.g. overlapping range add) and also we can't risk masking errors due to calls into drivers for vlan add which can potentially return anything.

This patch adds a new bridge port flag BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS to suppress arp and nd flood on bridge ports. It implements rfc7432, section 10. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10 for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing BR_PROXYARP* flags but has a few semantic differences to conform to EVPN standard. Unlike the existing flags, this new flag suppresses flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp and nd) to tunnel ports. Supports both vlan filtering and non-vlan filtering bridges. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding of arp and nd packets to tunnel ports like vxlan. This patch adds netlink and sysfs support to set this bridge port flag.

We need to be able to transparently forward most link-local frames via tunnels (e.g. vxlan, qinq). Currently the bridge's group_fwd_mask has a mask which restricts the forwarding of STP and LACP, but we need to be able to forward these over tunnels and control that forwarding on a per-port basis thus add a new per-port group_fwd_mask option which only disallows mac pause frames to be forwarded (they're always dropped anyway). The patch does not change the current default situation - all of the others are still restricted unless configured for forwarding.

Fdb's used and updated fields are written to on every packet forward and packet receive respectively. Thus if we are receiving packets from a particular fdb, they'll cause false-sharing with everyone who has looked it up (even if it didn't match, since mac/vid share cache line!). The "used" field is even worse since it is updated on every packet forward to that fdb, thus the standard config where X ports use a single gateway results in 100% fdb false-sharing. Note that this patch does not prevent the last scenario, but it makes it better for other bridge participants which are not using that fdb (and are only doing lookups over it). The point is with this move we make sure that only communicating parties get the false-sharing, in a later patch we'll show how to avoid that too.

This patch adds support to attach per vlan tunnel info dst metadata. This enables bridge driver to map vlan to tunnel_info at ingress and egress. It uses the kernel dst_metadata infrastructure. The initial use case is vlan to vni bridging, but the api is generic to extend to any tunnel_info in the future: - Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data - netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping - Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default. - changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code - I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files. - most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable. Use case: example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis). iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show relevant fdb entries): example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001 before (netdev per vni): $bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev): $bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03" 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge 00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self CC: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NRoopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Implements an optional, per bridge port flag and feature to deliver multicast packets to any host on the according port via unicast individually. This is done by copying the packet per host and changing the multicast destination MAC to a unicast one accordingly. multicast-to-unicast works on top of the multicast snooping feature of the bridge. Which means unicast copies are only delivered to hosts which are interested in it and signalized this via IGMP/MLD reports previously. This feature is intended for interface types which have a more reliable and/or efficient way to deliver unicast packets than broadcast ones (e.g. wifi). However, it should only be enabled on interfaces where no IGMPv2/MLDv1 report suppression takes place. This feature is disabled by default. The initial patch and idea is from Felix Fietkau.

fdb dumps spanning multiple skb's currently restart from the first interface again for every skb. This results in unnecessary iterations on the already visited interfaces and their fdb entries. In large scale setups, we have seen this to slow down fdb dumps considerably. On a system with 30k macs we see fdb dumps spanning across more than 300 skbs. To fix the problem, this patch replaces the existing single fdb marker with three markers: netdev hash entries, netdevs and fdb index to continue where we left off instead of restarting from the first netdev. This is consistent with link dumps. In the process of fixing the performance issue, this patch also re-implements fix done by commit 472681d5 ("net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump") (with an internal fix from Wilson Kok) in the following ways: - change ndo_fdb_dump handlers to return error code instead of the last fdb index - use cb->args strictly for dump frag markers and not error codes. This is consistent with other dump functions.

switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be flooded twice. It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch. This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account, such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which is impossible. The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports, which are not necessarily port netdevs. Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e. having the same parent ID). Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

Before this patch we had two flavors of most forwarding functions - _forward and _deliver, the difference being that the latter are used when the packets are locally originated. Instead of all this function pointer passing and code duplication, we can just pass a boolean noting that the packet was locally originated and use that to perform the necessary checks in __br_forward. This gives a minor performance improvement but more importantly consolidates the forwarding paths. Also add a kernel doc comment to explain the exported br_forward()'s arguments.

Currently if the packet is going to be received locally we set skb0 or sometimes called skb2 variables to the original skb. This can get confusing and also we can avoid one conditional on the fast path by simply using a boolean and passing it around. Thanks to Roopa for the name suggestion.
