br_multicast_set_hash_max() is called from process context in
net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c by the sysfs store_hash_max() function.

br_multicast_set_hash_max() calls spin_lock(&amp;br-&gt;multicast_lock),
which can deadlock the CPU if a softirq that also tries to take the
same lock interrupts br_multicast_set_hash_max() while the lock is
held .  This can happen quite easily when any of the bridge multicast
timers expire, which try to take the same lock.

The fix here is to use spin_lock_bh(), preventing other softirqs from
executing on this CPU.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a bridge with several interfaces (I used 4).
2. Set the "multicast query interval" to a low number, like 2.
3. Enable the bridge as a multicast querier.
4. Repeatedly set the bridge hash_max parameter via sysfs.

  # brctl addbr br0
  # brctl addif br0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4
  # brctl setmcqi br0 2
  # brctl setmcquerier br0 1

  # while true ; do echo 4096 &gt; /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/hash_max; done

<title>br: fix use of -&gt;rx_handler_data in code executed on non-rx_handler path</title>

<content type='text'>
br_stp_rcv() is reached by non-rx_handler path. That means there is no
guarantee that dev is bridge port and therefore simple NULL check of
-&gt;rx_handler_data is not enough. There is need to check if dev is really
bridge port and since only rcu read lock is held here, do it by checking
-&gt;rx_handler pointer.

Note that synchronize_net() in netdev_rx_handler_unregister() ensures
this approach as valid.

Introduced originally by:
commit f350a0a87374418635689471606454abc7beaa3a
  "bridge: use rx_handler_data pointer to store net_bridge_port pointer"

Fixed but not in the best way by:
commit b5ed54e94d324f17c97852296d61a143f01b227a
  "bridge: fix RCU races with bridge port"

Reintroduced by:
commit 716ec052d2280d511e10e90ad54a86f5b5d4dcc2

netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains fixes for your net tree, they are:

* Remove extra quote from connlimit configuration in Kconfig, from
  Randy Dunlap.

* Fix missing mss option in syn packets sent to the backend in our
  new synproxy target, from Martin Topholm.

* Use window scale announced by client when sending the forged
  syn to the backend, from Martin Topholm.

* Fix IPv6 address comparison in ebtables, from Luís Fernando
  Cornachioni Estrozi.

* Fix wrong endianess in sequence adjustment which breaks helpers
  in NAT configurations, from Phil Oester.

* Fix the error path handling of nft_compat, from me.

* Make sure the global conntrack counter is decremented after the
  object has been released, also from me.

--------------------------- 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.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
  well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
  period of time"

 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
    registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
    counts for their ops array rather than something like
    ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
    using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.

    We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
    working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
    other protocols can not possibly conflict.

    In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
    management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.

 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
    drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
    is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.

 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.

 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb-&gt;protocol in the right order
    relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.

 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
    calls to netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
    Makita.

 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
    prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.

 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
    that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
    decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
    wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
    here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.

 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.

10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
    virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.

11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic
    bumping, this one has been with us for a while.  From Eric Dumazet.

12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik
    Hugne.

13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
    Rissanen.

14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt.  propagating LRO
    disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
    Kubecek.

15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
    Daniel Mack.

16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.

17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
    partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.

18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
    initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
    from Vlad Yasevich.

19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
    blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
    userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
    works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.

20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.

    Hugne.

13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
    Rissanen.

14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt.  propagating LRO
    disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
    Kubecek.

15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
    Daniel Mack.

16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.

17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
    partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.

18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
    initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
    from Vlad Yasevich.

19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
    blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
    userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
    works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.

20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.

<title>bridge: Fix memory leak when deleting bridge with vlan filtering enabled</title>

We currently don't call br_vlan_flush() when deleting a bridge, which
leads to memory leak if br-&gt;vlan_info is allocated.

Steps to reproduce:
  while :
  do
    brctl addbr br0
    bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 10 self
    brctl delbr br0
  done
We can observe the cache size of corresponding slab entry
(as kmalloc-2048 in SLUB) is increased.

We should call vlan_vid_del for all vids at nbp_vlan_flush to prevent
vid_info-&gt;refcount from being leaked when detaching a bridge port.

<title>bridge: Use vlan_vid_[add/del] instead of direct ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid calls</title>

<id>192368372d3d29fe04f6ed2a5255ae2d1b58cf76</id>
<content type='text'>
We should use wrapper functions vlan_vid_[add/del] instead of
ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid. Otherwise, we might be not able to communicate
using vlan interface in a certain situation.

Example of problematic case:
  vconfig add eth0 10
  brctl addif br0 eth0
  bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10
  bridge vlan del dev eth0 vid 10
  brctl delif br0 eth0
In this case, we cannot communicate via eth0.10 because vlan 10 is
filtered by NIC that has the vlan filtering feature.
