<title>netfilter: bridge: add connection tracking system</title>

<id>3c171f496ef57774f8e5d509923372549734877f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds basic connection tracking support for the bridge,
including initial IPv4 support.

This patch register two hooks to deal with the bridge forwarding path,
one from the bridge prerouting hook to call nf_conntrack_in(); and
another from the bridge postrouting hook to confirm the entry.

The conntrack bridge prerouting hook defragments packets before passing
them to nf_conntrack_in() to look up for an existing entry, otherwise a
new entry is allocated and it is attached to the skbuff. The conntrack
bridge postrouting hook confirms new conntrack entries, ie. if this is
the first packet seen, then it adds the entry to the hashtable and (if
needed) it refragments the skbuff into the original fragments, leaving
the geometry as is if possible. Exceptions are linearized skbuffs, eg.
skbuffs that are passed up to nfqueue and conntrack helpers, as well as
cloned skbuff for the local delivery (eg. tcpdump), also in case of
bridge port flooding (cloned skbuff too).

The packet defragmentation is done through the ip_defrag() call.  This
forces us to save the bridge control buffer, reset the IP control buffer
area and then restore it after call. This function also bumps the IP
fragmentation statistics, it would be probably desiderable to have
independent statistics for the bridge defragmentation/refragmentation.
The maximum fragment length is stored in the control buffer and it is
used to refragment the skbuff from the postrouting path.

The new fraglist splitter and fragment transformer APIs are used to
implement the bridge refragmentation code. The br_ip_fragment() function
drops the packet in case the maximum fragment size seen is larger than
the output port MTU.

This patchset follows the principle that conntrack should not drop
packets, so users can do it through policy via invalid state matching.

Like br_netfilter, there is no refragmentation for packets that are
passed up for local delivery, ie. prerouting -&gt; input path. There are
calls to nf_reset() already in several spots in the stack since time ago
already, eg. af_packet, that show that skbuff fraglist handling from the
netif_rx path is supported already.

The helpers are called from the postrouting hook, before confirmation,
from there we may see packet floods to bridge ports. Then, although
unlikely, this may result in exercising the helpers many times for each
clone. It would be good to explore how to pass all the packets in a list
to the conntrack hook to do this handle only once for this case.

Thanks to Florian Westphal for handing me over an initial patchset
version to add support for conntrack bridge.

<title>net: bridge: convert multicast to generic rhashtable</title>

<id>19e3a9c90c53479fecaa02307bf2db5ab8b3ffe3</id>
<content type='text'>
The bridge multicast code currently uses a custom resizable hashtable
which predates the generic rhashtable interface. It has many
shortcomings compared and duplicates functionality that is presently
available via the generic rhashtable, so this patch removes the custom
rhashtable implementation in favor of the kernel's generic rhashtable.
The hash maximum is kept and the rhashtable's size is used to do a loose
check if it's reached in which case we revert to the old behaviour and
disable further bridge multicast processing. Also now we can support any
hash maximum, doesn't need to be a power of 2.

v3: add non-rcu br_mdb_get variant and use it where multicast_lock is
    held to avoid RCU splat, drop hash_max function and just set it
    directly

v2: handle when IGMP snooping is undefined, add br_mdb_init/uninit
    placeholders

<title>netpoll: allow cleanup to be synchronous</title>

This fixes a problem introduced by:
commit 2cde6acd49da ("netpoll: Fix __netpoll_rcu_free so that it can hold the rtnl lock")

When using netconsole on a bond, __netpoll_cleanup can asynchronously
recurse multiple times, each __netpoll_free_async call can result in
more __netpoll_free_async's. This means there is now a race between
cleanup_work queues on multiple netpoll_info's on multiple devices and
the configuration of a new netpoll. For example if a netconsole is set
to enable 0, reconfigured, and enable 1 immediately, this netconsole
will likely not work.

Given the reason for __netpoll_free_async is it can be called when rtnl
is not locked, if it is locked, we should be able to execute
synchronously. It appears to be locked everywhere it's called from.

Generalize the design pattern from the teaming driver for current
callers of __netpoll_free_async.

As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring
bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on
port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour
and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each
such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to
set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it
is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards.

In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the
previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port
events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that
actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead
to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being
compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to
the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done
explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that
MTU to the minimum as before.
