This patch adds support for the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS_SLAVE attribute which allows to export per-slave statistics if the master device supports the linkxstats callback. The attribute is passed down to the linkxstats callback and it is up to the callback user to use it (an example has been added to the only current user - the bridge). This allows us to query only specific slaves of master devices like bridge ports and export only what we're interested in instead of having to dump all ports and searching only for a single one. This will be used to export per-port IGMP/MLD stats and also per-port vlan stats in the future, possibly other statistics as well.

The bridge is falsly dropping ipv6 mulitcast packets if there is: 1. No ipv6 address assigned on the brigde. 2. No external mld querier present. 3. The internal querier enabled. When the bridge fails to build mld queries, because it has no ipv6 address, it slilently returns, but keeps the local querier enabled. This specific case causes confusing packet loss. Ipv6 multicast snooping can only work if: a) An external querier is present OR b) The bridge has an ipv6 address an is capable of sending own queries Otherwise it has to forward/flood the ipv6 multicast traffic, because snooping cannot work. This patch fixes the issue by adding a flag to the bridge struct that indicates that there is currently no ipv6 address assinged to the bridge and returns a false state for the local querier in __br_multicast_querier_exists().

Commit 8626c56c ("bridge: fix potential use-after-free when hook returns QUEUE or STOLEN verdict") fixed incorrect usage of NF_HOOK's return value by consuming packets in okfn via br_pass_frame_up(). However, this function re-injects packets to the Rx path with skb->dev set to the bridge device, which breaks kernel's STP, as all STP packets appear to originate from the bridge device itself. Instead, if STP is enabled and bridge isn't a 802.1ad bridge, then learn packet's SMAC and inject it back to the Rx path for further processing by the packet handlers. The patch also makes netfilter's behavior consistent with regards to packets destined to the Bridge Group Address, as no hook registered at LOCAL_IN will ever be called, regardless if STP is enabled or not.

With the newly introduced helper functions the skb pulling is hidden in the checksumming function - and undone before returning to the caller. The IGMP and MLD query parsing functions in the bridge still assumed that the skb is pointing to the beginning of the IGMP/MLD message while it is now kept at the beginning of the IPv4/6 header. If there is a querier somewhere else, then this either causes the multicast snooping to stay disabled even though it could be enabled. Or, if we have the querier enabled too, then this can create unnecessary IGMP / MLD query messages on the link. Fixing this by taking the offset between IP and IGMP/MLD header into account, too.

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.

Add support for per-VLAN Tx/Rx statistics. Every global vlan context gets allocated a per-cpu stats which is then set in each per-port vlan context for quick access. The br_allowed_ingress() common function is used to account for Rx packets and the br_handle_vlan() common function is used to account for Tx packets. Stats accounting is performed only if the bridge-wide vlan_stats_enabled option is set either via sysfs or netlink. A struct hole between vlan_enabled and vlan_proto is used for the new option so it is in the same cache line. Currently it is binary (on/off) but it is intentionally restricted to exactly 0 and 1 since other values will be used in the future for different purposes (e.g. per-port stats).

When switchdev PORT_MDB succeeded and adds a multicast group, a completion callback is been invoked "br_mdb_complete".

Zefir Kurtisi reported kernel panic with an openwrt specific patch. However, it turns out that mainline has a similar bug waiting to happen. Once NF_HOOK() returns the skb is in undefined state and must not be used. Moreover, the okfn must consume the skb to support async processing (NF_QUEUE). Current okfn in this spot doesn't consume it and caller assumes that NF_HOOK return value tells us if skb was freed or not, but thats wrong. It "works" because no in-tree user registers a NFPROTO_BRIDGE hook at LOCAL_IN that returns STOLEN or NF_QUEUE verdicts. Once we add NF_QUEUE support for nftables bridge this will break -- NF_QUEUE holds the skb for async processing, caller will erronoulsy return RX_HANDLER_PASS and on reinject netfilter will access free'd skb. Fix this by pushing skb up the stack in the okfn instead. NB: It also seems dubious to use LOCAL_IN while bypassing PRE_ROUTING completely in this case but this is how its been forever so it seems preferable to not change this.

This moves bridge hooks to a register-when-needed scheme. We use a device notifier to register the 'call-iptables' netfilter hooks only once a bridge gets added. This means that if the initial namespace uses a bridge, newly created network namespaces no longer get the PRE_ROUTING ipt_sabotage hook. It will registered in that network namespace once a bridge is created within that namespace. A few modules still use global hooks: - conntrack - bridge PF_BRIDGE hooks - IPVS - CLUSTER match (deprecated) - SYNPROXY As long as these modules are not loaded/used, a new network namespace has empty hook list and NF_HOOK() will boil down to single list_empty test even if initial namespace does stateless packet filtering.

For that that purpose we need to extend the MDBA_ROUTER_PORT attribute similar to how it was done for the mdb entries recently. The new format is thus: [MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { <- nested attribute u32 ifindex <- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility [MDBA_ROUTER_PATTR attributes] } This way it remains compatible with older users (they'll simply retrieve the u32 in the beginning) and new users can parse the remaining attributes.

Currently mdb entries are exported directly as a structure inside MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO attribute, we can't really extend it without breaking user-space. In order to export new mdb fields, I've converted the MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO into a nested attribute which starts like before with struct br_mdb_entry (without header, as it's casted directly in iproute2) and continues with MDBA_MDB_EATTR_ attributes. This way we keep compatibility with older users and can export new data. I've tested this with iproute2, both with and without support for the added attribute and it works fine. So basically we again have MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO with struct br_mdb_entry inside but it may contain also some additional MDBA_MDB_EATTR_ attributes such as MDBA_MDB_EATTR_TIMER which can be parsed by user-space. So the new structure is: [MDBA_MDB] = { [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY] = { [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO] [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY_INFO] { <- Nested attribute struct br_mdb_entry <- nla_put_nohdr() [MDBA_MDB_ENTRY attributes] <- normal netlink attributes } } } Signed-off-by: NNikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
