net: bridge: mst: Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) mode

Allow the user to switch from the current per-VLAN STP mode to an MST
mode.

Up to this point, per-VLAN STP states where always isolated from each
other. This is in contrast to the MSTP standard (802.1Q-2018, Clause
13.5), where VLANs are grouped into MST instances (MSTIs), and the
state is managed on a per-MSTI level, rather that at the per-VLAN
level.

Perhaps due to the prevalence of the standard, many switching ASICs
are built after the same model. Therefore, add a corresponding MST
mode to the bridge, which we can later add offloading support for in a
straight-forward way.

For now, all VLANs are fixed to MSTI 0, also called the Common
Spanning Tree (CST). That is, all VLANs will follow the port-global
state.

Upcoming changes will make this actually useful by allowing VLANs to
be mapped to arbitrary MSTIs and allow individual MSTI states to be
changed.

net: bridge: multicast: add EHT host handling functions

Add functions to create, destroy and lookup an EHT host. These are
per-host entries contained in the eht_host_tree in net_bridge_port_group
which are used to store a list of all sources (S,G) entries joined for that
group by each host, the host's current filter mode and total number of
joined entries.
No functional changes yet, these would be used in later patches.

bridge: cfm: Kernel space implementation of CFM. MEP create/delete.

This is the first commit of the implementation of the CFM protocol
according to 802.1Q section 12.14.

It contains MEP instance create, delete and configuration.

Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) comprises capabilities for
detecting, verifying, and isolating connectivity failures in
Virtual Bridged Networks. These capabilities can be used in
networks operated by multiple independent organizations, each
with restricted management access to each others equipment.

CFM functions are partitioned as follows:
- Path discovery
- Fault detection
- Fault verification and isolation
- Fault notification
- Fault recovery

Interface consists of these functions:
br_cfm_mep_create()
br_cfm_mep_delete()
br_cfm_mep_config_set()
br_cfm_cc_config_set()
br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_add()
br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_remove()

A MEP instance is created by br_cfm_mep_create()
-It is the Maintenance association End Point
described in 802.1Q section 19.2.
-It is created on a specific level (1-7) and is assuring
that no CFM frames are passing through this MEP on lower levels.
-It initiates and validates CFM frames on its level.
-It can only exist on a port that is related to a bridge.
-Attributes given cannot be changed until the instance is
deleted.

A MEP instance can be deleted by br_cfm_mep_delete().

A created MEP instance has attributes that can be
configured by br_cfm_mep_config_set().

A MEP Continuity Check feature can be configured by
br_cfm_cc_config_set()
The Continuity Check Receiver state machine can be
enabled and disabled.
According to 802.1Q section 19.2.8

A MEP can have Peer MEPs added and removed by
br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_add() and br_cfm_cc_peer_mep_remove()
The Continuity Check feature can maintain connectivity
status on each added Peer MEP.

bridge: mrp: Connect MRP API with the switchdev API

Implement the MRP API.

In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will try to generate
the frames. In case that also the SW will fail in generating the frames then a
error is return to the userspace. The userspace is responsible to generate all
the other MRP frames regardless if the test frames are generated by HW or SW.

The forwarding/termination of MRP frames is happening in the kernel and is done
by the MRP instance. The userspace application doesn't do the forwarding.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

bridge: add new BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS port flag to suppress arp and nd flood

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.

bridge: per vlan dst_metadata netlink support

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

bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices

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.

netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core

Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since
this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that
don't need this.

This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus,
the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have
been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that.

Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that
bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe
bridge' or via automatic load through brctl.

However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter.
The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that
didn't notice that this has been deprecated.

On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software
layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to
enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users
seem to require.

This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this
is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely
modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.

netfilter: bridge: fix Kconfig unmet dependencies

Before f5efc69 ("netfilter: nf_tables: Add meta expression key for
bridge interface name"), the entire net/bridge/netfilter/ directory
depended on BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES, ie. on ebtables. However, that
directory already contained the nf_tables bridge extension that
we should allow to compile separately. In f5efc69, we tried to
generalize this by using CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER which was not a good
idea since this option already existed and it is dedicated to enable
the Netfilter bridge IP/ARP filtering.

Let's try to fix this mess by:

1) making net/bridge/netfilter/ dependent on the toplevel
CONFIG_NETFILTER option, just like we do with the net/netfilter and
net/ipv{4,6}/netfilter/ directories.

2) Changing 'selects' to 'depends on' NETFILTER_XTABLES for
BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES. I believe this problem was already before
f5efc69:

warning: (BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES) selects NETFILTER_XTABLES which has
unmet direct dependencies (NET && INET && NETFILTER)

3) Fix ebtables/nf_tables bridge dependencies by making NF_TABLES_BRIDGE
and BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES dependent on BRIDGE and NETFILTER:

warning: (NF_TABLES_BRIDGE && BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES) selects

bridge: make br_device_notifier static

Merge net/bridge/br_notify.c into net/bridge/br.c,
since it has only br_device_event() and br.c is small.

netfilter: nf_tables: Add meta expression key for bridge interface name

NFT_META_BRI_IIFNAME to get packet input bridge interface name
NFT_META_BRI_OIFNAME to get packet output bridge interface name

Such meta key are accessible only through NFPROTO_BRIDGE family, on a
dedicated nft meta module: nft_meta_bridge.

bridge: Add vlan filtering infrastructure

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.

bridge: export multicast database via netlink

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)

bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support

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

[BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link management

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.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!
