--------------------------- cut here -------------------------------

The reason is that when the bridge dev's address is changed, the
br_fdb_change_mac_address() will add new address in fdb, but when
the bridge was removed, the address entry in the fdb did not free,
the bridge_fdb_cache still has objects when destroy the cache, Fix
this by flushing the bridge address entry when removing the bridge.

v2: according to the Toshiaki Makita and Vlad's suggestion, I only
    delete the vlan0 entry, it still have a leak here if the vlan id
    is other number, so I need to call fdb_delete_by_port(br, NULL, 1)
    to flush all entries whose dst is NULL for the bridge.

<title>Revert "bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received"</title>

<id>454594f3b93a49ef568cd190c5af31376b105a7b</id>
<content type='text'>
While this commit was a good attempt to fix issues occuring when no
multicast querier is present, this commit still has two more issues:

1) There are cases where mdb entries do not expire even if there is a
querier present. The bridge will unnecessarily continue flooding
multicast packets on the according ports.

2) Never removing an mdb entry could be exploited for a Denial of
Service by an attacker on the local link, slowly, but steadily eating up
all memory.

Actually, this commit became obsolete with
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b)
which included fixes for a few more cases.

Therefore reverting the following commits (the commit stated in the
commit message plus three of its follow up fixes):

====================
Revert "bridge: update mdb expiration timer upon reports."
This reverts commit f144febd93d5ee534fdf23505ab091b2b9088edc.
Revert "bridge: do not call setup_timer() multiple times"
This reverts commit 1faabf2aab1fdaa1ace4e8c829d1b9cf7bfec2f1.
Revert "bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer"
This reverts commit c7e8e8a8f7a70b343ca1e0f90a31e35ab2d16de1.
Revert "bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received"
This reverts commit 9f00b2e7cf241fa389733d41b615efdaa2cb0f5b.

We currently set the value that variable vid is pointing, which will be
used in FDB later, to 0 at br_allowed_ingress() when we receive untagged
or priority-tagged frames, even though the PVID is valid.
This leads to FDB updates in such a wrong way that they are learned with
VID 0.
Update the value to that of PVID if the PVID is applied.

We are using the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT bit to detect whether the PVID is
set or not at br_get_pvid(), while we don't care about the bit in
adding/deleting the PVID, which makes it impossible to forward any
incomming untagged frame with vlan_filtering enabled.

Since vid 0 cannot be used for the PVID, we can use vid 0 to indicate
that the PVID is not set, which is slightly more efficient than using
the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT.

Fix the problem by getting rid of using the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT.

It is possible to set bridge_forward_delay to be higher then

higher then allowed delay has to be clamed down to max value.

commit 9f00b2e7cf241fa389733d41b615efdaa2cb0f5b
	bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received
changed the mdb expiration timer to be armed only when QUERY is
received.  Howerver, this causes issues in an environment where
the multicast server socket comes and goes very fast while a client
is trying to send traffic to it.

The root cause is a race where a sequence of LEAVE followed by REPORT
messages can race against QUERY messages generated in response to LEAVE.
The QUERY ends up starting the expiration timer, and that timer can
potentially expire after the new REPORT message has been received signaling
the new join operation.  This leads to a significant drop in multicast
traffic and possible complete stall.

The solution is to have REPORT messages update the expiration timer
on entries that already exist.

commit 9f00b2e7cf241fa389733d41b615efdaa2cb0f5b
	bridge: only expire the mdb entry when query is received
changed the mdb expiration timer to be armed only when QUERY is
received.  Howerver, this causes issues in an environment where
the multicast server socket comes and goes very fast while a client
is trying to send traffic to it.

The root cause is a race where a sequence of LEAVE followed by REPORT
messages can race against QUERY messages generated in response to LEAVE.
The QUERY ends up starting the expiration timer, and that timer can
potentially expire after the new REPORT message has been received signaling
the new join operation.  This leads to a significant drop in multicast
traffic and possible complete stall.

The solution is to have REPORT messages update the expiration timer
on entries that already exist.

<title>bridge: fix NULL pointer deref of br_port_get_rcu</title>

The NULL deref happens when br_handle_frame is called between these
2 lines of del_nbp:
	dev-&gt;priv_flags &amp;= ~IFF_BRIDGE_PORT;
	/* --&gt; br_handle_frame is called at this time */
	netdev_rx_handler_unregister(dev);

In br_handle_frame the return of br_port_get_rcu(dev) is dereferenced
without check but br_port_get_rcu(dev) returns NULL if:
	!(dev-&gt;priv_flags &amp; IFF_BRIDGE_PORT)

Eric Dumazet pointed out the testing of IFF_BRIDGE_PORT is not necessary
here since we're in rcu_read_lock and we have synchronize_net() in
netdev_rx_handler_unregister. So remove the testing of IFF_BRIDGE_PORT
and by the previous patch, make sure br_port_get_rcu is called in
bridging code.

current br_port_get_rcu is problematic in bridging path
(NULL deref). Change these calls in netlink path first.
