net: bridge: don't notify switchdev for local FDB addresses

2021-03-23T21:39:41+00:00

As explained in this discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210117193009.io3nungdwuzmo5f7@skbuf/

the switchdev notifiers for FDB entries managed to have a zero-day bug.
The bridge would not say that this entry is local:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link set swp0 master br0
bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master local

and the switchdev driver would be more than happy to offload it as a
normal static FDB entry. This is despite the fact that 'local' and
non-'local' entries have completely opposite directions: a local entry
is locally terminated and not forwarded, whereas a static entry is
forwarded and not locally terminated. So, for example, DSA would install
this entry on swp0 instead of installing it on the CPU port as it should.

There is an even sadder part, which is that the 'local' flag is implicit
if 'static' is not specified, meaning that this command produces the
same result of adding a 'local' entry:

bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master

I've updated the man pages for 'bridge', and after reading it now, it
should be pretty clear to any user that the commands above were broken
and should have never resulted in the 00:01:02:03:04:05 address being
forwarded (this behavior is coherent with non-switchdev interfaces):
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20210211104502.2081443-1-olteanv@gmail.com/
If you're a user reading this and this is what you want, just use:

bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master static

Because switchdev should have given drivers the means from day one to
classify FDB entries as local/non-local, but didn't, it means that all
drivers are currently broken. So we can just as well omit the switchdev
notifications for local FDB entries, which is exactly what this patch
does to close the bug in stable trees. For further development work
where drivers might want to trap the local FDB entries to the host, we
can add a 'bool is_local' to br_switchdev_fdb_call_notifiers(), and
selectively make drivers act upon that bit, while all the others ignore
those entries if the 'is_local' bit is set.

net: switchdev: pass flags and mask to both {PRE_,}BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes

2021-02-13T01:08:04+00:00

This switchdev attribute offers a counterproductive API for a driver
writer, because although br_switchdev_set_port_flag gets passed a
"flags" and a "mask", those are passed piecemeal to the driver, so while
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS listener knows what changed because it has the
"mask", the BRIDGE_FLAGS listener doesn't, because it only has the final
value. But certain drivers can offload only certain combinations of
settings, like for example they cannot change unicast flooding
independently of multicast flooding - they must be both on or both off.
The way the information is passed to switchdev makes drivers not
expressive enough, and unable to reject this request ahead of time, in
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS notifier, so they are forced to reject it during
the deferred BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute, where the rejection is currently
ignored.

This patch also changes drivers to make use of the "mask" field for edge
detection when possible.

net: bridge: don't print in br_switchdev_set_port_flag

2021-02-13T01:08:04+00:00

For the netlink interface, propagate errors through extack rather than
simply printing them to the console. For the sysfs interface, we still
print to the console, but at least that's one layer higher than in
switchdev, which also allows us to silently ignore the offloading of
flags if that is ever needed in the future.

net: bridge: offload all port flags at once in br_setport

2021-02-13T01:08:04+00:00

If for example this command:

ip link set swp0 type bridge_slave flood off mcast_flood off learning off

succeeded at configuring BR_FLOOD and BR_MCAST_FLOOD but not at
BR_LEARNING, there would be no attempt to revert the partial state in
any way. Arguably, if the user changes more than one flag through the
same netlink command, this one _should_ be all or nothing, which means
it should be passed through switchdev as all or nothing.

net: switchdev: remove vid_begin -> vid_end range from VLAN objects

      br_switchdev_port_vlan_add

The ranges UAPI was introduced to the bridge in commit bdced7ef7838
("bridge: support for multiple vlans and vlan ranges in setlink and
dellink requests") (Jan 10 2015). But the VLAN ranges (parsed in br_afspec)
have always been passed one by one, through struct bridge_vlan_info
tmp_vinfo, to br_vlan_info. So the range never went too far in depth.

Then Scott Feldman introduced the switchdev_port_bridge_setlink function
in commit 47f8328bb1a4 ("switchdev: add new switchdev bridge setlink").
That marked the introduction of the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_PORT_VLAN, which made
full use of the range. But switchdev_port_bridge_setlink was called like
this:

br_setlink
-> br_afspec
-> switchdev_port_bridge_setlink

Basically, the switchdev and the bridge code were not tightly integrated.
Then commit 41c498b9359e ("bridge: restore br_setlink back to original")
came, and switchdev drivers were required to implement
.ndo_bridge_setlink = switchdev_port_bridge_setlink for a while.

In the meantime, commits such as 0944d6b5a2fa ("bridge: try switchdev op
first in __vlan_vid_add/del") finally made switchdev penetrate the
br_vlan_info() barrier and start to develop the call path we have today.
But remember, br_vlan_info() still receives VLANs one by one.

Then Arkadi Sharshevsky refactored the switchdev API in 2017 in commit
29ab586c3d83 ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from
switchdev") so that drivers would not implement .ndo_bridge_setlink any
longer. The switchdev_port_bridge_setlink also got deleted.
This refactoring removed the parallel bridge_setlink implementation from
switchdev, and left the only switchdev VLAN objects to be the ones
offloaded from __vlan_vid_add (basically RX filtering) and  __vlan_add
(the latter coming from commit 9c86ce2c1ae3 ("net: bridge: Notify about
bridge VLANs")).

That is to say, today the switchdev VLAN object ranges are not used in
the kernel. Refactoring the above call path is a bit complicated, when
the bridge VLAN call path is already a bit complicated.

Let's go off and finish the job of commit 29ab586c3d83 by deleting the
bogus iteration through the VLAN ranges from the drivers. Some aspects
of this feature never made too much sense in the first place. For
example, what is a range of VLANs all having the BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_PVID
flag supposed to mean, when a port can obviously have a single pvid?
This particular configuration _is_ denied as of commit 6623c60dc28e
("bridge: vlan: enforce no pvid flag in vlan ranges"), but from an API
perspective, the driver still has to play pretend, and only offload the
vlan->vid_end as pvid. And the addition of a switchdev VLAN object can
modify the flags of another, completely unrelated, switchdev VLAN
object! (a VLAN that is PVID will invalidate the PVID flag from whatever
other VLAN had previously been offloaded with switchdev and had that
flag. Yet switchdev never notifies about that change, drivers are
supposed to guess).

Nonetheless, having a VLAN range in the API makes error handling look
scarier than it really is - unwinding on errors and all of that.
When in reality, no one really calls this API with more than one VLAN.
It is all unnecessary complexity.

And despite appearing pretentious (two-phase transactional model and
all), the switchdev API is really sloppy because the VLAN addition and
removal operations are not paired with one another (you can add a VLAN
100 times and delete it just once). The bridge notifies through
switchdev of a VLAN addition not only when the flags of an existing VLAN
change, but also when nothing changes. There are switchdev drivers out
there who don't like adding a VLAN that has already been added, and
those checks don't really belong at driver level. But the fact that the
API contains ranges is yet another factor that prevents this from being
addressed in the future.

Of the existing switchdev pieces of hardware, it appears that only
Mellanox Spectrum supports offloading more than one VLAN at a time,
through mlxsw_sp_port_vlan_set. I have kept that code internal to the
driver, because there is some more bookkeeping that makes use of it, but
I deleted it from the switchdev API. But since the switchdev support for
ranges has already been de facto deleted by a Mellanox employee and
nobody noticed for 4 years, I'm going to assume it's not a biggie.

We have one odd case within net/bridge/br_switchdev.c with the
