[ Upstream commit 927cdea5d2095287ddd5246e5aa68eb5d68db2be ]

There is a structural problem in switchdev, where the flag bits in
struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info (added_by_user, is_local etc) only
represent a simplified / denatured view of what's in struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry :: flags (BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER, BR_FDB_LOCAL etc).
Each time we want to pass more information about struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry :: flags to struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info
(here, BR_FDB_STATIC), we find that FDB entries were already notified to
switchdev with no regard to this flag, and thus, switchdev drivers had
no indication whether the notified entries were static or not.

For example, this command:

ip link add br0 type bridge &amp;&amp; ip link set swp0 master br0
bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master dynamic

has never worked as intended with switchdev. It causes a struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry to be passed to br_switchdev_fdb_notify() which has
a single flag set: BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER.

This is further passed to the switchdev notifier chain, where interested
drivers have no choice but to assume this is a static (does not age) and
sticky (does not migrate) FDB entry. So currently, all drivers offload
it to hardware as such, as can be seen below ("offload" is set).

bridge fdb get 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 master
00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 offload master br0

The software FDB entry expires $ageing_time centiseconds after the
kernel last sees a packet with this MAC SA, and the bridge notifies its
deletion as well, so it eventually disappears from hardware too.

This is a problem, because it is actually desirable to start offloading
"master dynamic" FDB entries correctly - they should expire $ageing_time
centiseconds after the *hardware* port last sees a packet with this
MAC SA - and this is how the current incorrect behavior was discovered.
With an offloaded data plane, it can be expected that software only sees
exception path packets, so an otherwise active dynamic FDB entry would
be aged out by software sooner than it should.

With the change in place, these FDB entries are no longer offloaded:

bridge fdb get 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 master
00:01:02:03:04:05 dev swp0 master br0

and this also constitutes a better way (assuming a backport to stable
kernels) for user space to determine whether the kernel has the
capability of doing something sane with these or not.

As opposed to "master dynamic" FDB entries, on the current behavior of
which no one currently depends on (which can be deduced from the lack of
kselftests), Ido Schimmel explains that entries with the "extern_learn"
flag (BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN) should still be notified to switchdev,
since the spectrum driver listens to them (and this is kind of okay,
because although they are treated identically to "static", they are
expected to not age, and to roam).

[ Upstream commit 94623f579ce338b5fa61b5acaa5beb8aa657fb9e ]

Recent attempt to ensure PREROUTING hook is executed again when a
decrypted ipsec packet received on a bridge passes through the network
stack a second time broke the physdev match in INPUT hook.

We can't discard the nf_bridge info strct from sabotage_in hook, as
this is needed by the physdev match.

Keep the struct around and handle this with another conditional instead.

[ Upstream commit e58a171d35e32e6e8c37cfe0e8a94406732a331f ]

We are not allowed to return an error at this point.
Looking at the code it looks like ret is always 0 at this
point, but its not.

t = find_table_lock(net, repl-&gt;name, &amp;ret, &amp;ebt_mutex);

... this can return a valid table, with ret != 0.

This bug causes update of table-&gt;private with the new
blob, but then frees the blob right away in the caller.

When using a xfrm interface in a bridged setup (the outgoing device is
bridged), the incoming packets in the xfrm interface are only tracked
in the outgoing direction.

$ brctl show
bridge name     interfaces
br_eth1         eth1

$ conntrack -L
tcp 115 SYN_SENT src=192... dst=192... [UNREPLIED] ...

If br_netfilter is enabled, the first (encrypted) packet is received onR
eth1, conntrack hooks are called from br_netfilter emulation which
allocates nf_bridge info for this skb.

If the packet is for local machine, skb gets passed up the ip stack.
The skb passes through ip prerouting a second time. br_netfilter
ip_sabotage_in supresses the re-invocation of the hooks.

After this, skb gets decrypted in xfrm layer and appears in
network stack a second time (after decryption).

Then, ip_sabotage_in is called again and suppresses netfilter
hook invocation, even though the bridge layer never called them
for the plaintext incarnation of the packet.

Free the bridge info after the first suppression to avoid this.

I was unable to figure out where the regression comes from, as far as i
can see br_netfilter always had this problem; i did not expect that skb
is looped again with different headers.

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

Now that user space can specify additional attributes of port group
entries such as filter mode and source list, it makes sense to allow
user space to atomically modify these attributes by replacing entries
instead of forcing user space to delete the entries and add them back.

Replace MDB port group entries when the 'NLM_F_REPLACE' flag is
specified in the netlink message header.

When a (*, G) entry is replaced, update the following attributes: Source
list, state, filter mode, protocol and flags. If the entry is temporary
and in EXCLUDE mode, reset the group timer to the group membership
interval. If the entry is temporary and in INCLUDE mode, reset the
source timers of associated sources to the group membership interval.

Examples:

 # bridge mdb replace dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent source_list 192.0.2.1,192.0.2.2 filter_mode include
 # bridge -d -s mdb show

<title>bridge: mcast: Allow user space to specify MDB entry routing protocol</title>

Add the 'MDBE_ATTR_RTPORT' attribute to allow user space to specify the
routing protocol of the MDB port group entry. Enforce a minimum value of
'RTPROT_STATIC' to prevent user space from using protocol values that
should only be set by the kernel (e.g., 'RTPROT_KERNEL'). Maintain
backward compatibility by defaulting to 'RTPROT_STATIC'.

The protocol is already visible to user space in RTM_NEWMDB responses
and notifications via the 'MDBA_MDB_EATTR_RTPROT' attribute.

The routing protocol allows a routing daemon to distinguish between
entries configured by it and those configured by the administrator. Once
MDB flush is supported, the protocol can be used as a criterion
according to which the flush is performed.

Examples:

 # bridge mdb add dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent proto kernel
 Error: integer out of range.

 # bridge mdb add dev br0 port dummy10 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent proto static

Add new netlink attributes to the RTM_NEWMDB request that allow user
space to add (*, G) with a source list and filter mode.

The RTM_NEWMDB message can already dump such entries (created by the
kernel) so there is no need to add dump support. However, the message
contains a different set of attributes depending if it is a request or a
response. The naming and structure of the new attributes try to follow
the existing ones used in the response.

In preparation for allowing user space to add (*, G) entries with a
source list and associated filter mode, add the necessary plumbing to
handle such requests.

Extend the MDB configuration structure with a currently empty source
array and filter mode that is currently hard coded to EXCLUDE.

Add the source entries and the corresponding (S, G) entries before
making the new (*, G) port group entry visible to the data path.

Handle the creation of each source entry in a similar fashion to how it
is created from the data path in response to received Membership
Reports: Create the source entry, arm the source timer (if needed), add
a corresponding (S, G) forwarding entry and finally mark the source
entry as installed (by user space).

Add the (S, G) entry by populating an MDB configuration structure and
calling br_mdb_add_group_sg() as if a new entry is created by user
space, with the sole difference that the 'src_entry' field is set to
make sure that the group timer of such entries is never armed.

Note that it is not currently possible to add more than 32 source
entries to a port group entry. If this proves to be a problem we can
either increase 'PG_SRC_ENT_LIMIT' or avoid forcing a limit on entries
created by user space.

space, with the sole difference that the 'src_entry' field is set to
make sure that the group timer of such entries is never armed.

Note that it is not currently possible to add more than 32 source
entries to a port group entry. If this proves to be a problem we can
either increase 'PG_SRC_ENT_LIMIT' or avoid forcing a limit on entries
created by user space.
