Commit 8626c56c8279 ("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-&gt;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.

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.

The bridge and port's vlgrp member is already used in RCU way, currently
we rely on the fact that it cannot disappear while the port exists but
that is error-prone and we might miss places with improper locking
(either RCU or RTNL must be held to walk the vlan_list). So make it
official and use RCU for vlgrp to catch offenders. Introduce proper vlgrp
accessors and use them consistently throughout the code.

One obvious way to converge more code (which was also used by the
previous vlan code) is to move pvid inside net_bridge_vlan_group. This
allows us to simplify some and remove other port-specific functions.
Also gives us the ability to simply pass the vlan group and use all of the
contained information.

<title>bridge: vlan: add per-vlan struct and move to rhashtables</title>

<id>2594e9064a57634efc146ff4e89a5de562e05011</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables
instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we
need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more
advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be
extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is
changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch.
A few short goals of this patch are:
- Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list
- Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc)
- Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come
  later)

Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce:
- per-vlan counters
- vlan ingress/egress mapping
- per-vlan igmp configuration
- vlan priorities
- avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues)

The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to
avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce
"port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further
(thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!).

Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port
rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its
global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a
sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible
behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths.
VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the
rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries.
A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps
per-vlan data.
One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up
in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an
existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper
br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the
lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be
skipped.

Things tested so far:
- basic vlan ingress/egress
- pvids
- untagged vlans
- undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING
- adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx,
  while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc)
- loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans
- extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests
- adding/deleting fdbs on vlans
- bridge mac change, promisc mode
- default pvid change
- kmemleak ON during the whole time

<title>netfilter: Pass net into okfn</title>

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks.  At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.

This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state-&gt;in?:state-&gt;out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state-&gt;net".

In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.

The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume()         xs_net(skb_dst(skb)-&gt;xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont()      ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont()          ip_vs_conn_net(cp)
ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc()                    sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit()			sock_net(sk)
ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb()                   dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) not dev_net(dst-&gt;dev)
ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc()                   sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb-&gt;dev) before skb-&gt;dev is set to nf_bridge-&gt;physindev

In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)".  I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb-&gt;sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb-&gt;sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

This extends the design in commit 958501163ddd ("bridge: Add support for
IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to
meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The
previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new
BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be
configured from user space when required.

In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP
requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible
to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames.

The key differences in functionality:

BR_PROXYARP:
- uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was
  received to determine whether to reply
- block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP

BR_PROXYARP_WIFI:
- uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the
  request belongs
- block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp
  functionality replied
