[BRIDGE]: Properly dereference the br_should_route_hook

2007-11-29T12:58:58+00:00

This hook is protected with the RCU, so simple

	if (br_should_route_hook)
		br_should_route_hook(...)

is not enough on some architectures.

Use the rcu_dereference/rcu_assign_pointer in this case.

Fixed Stephen's comment concerning using the typeof().

[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

2007-10-15T19:26:29+00:00

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.

[BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry

2007-10-15T19:26:27+00:00

Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a
shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code).  So it
makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly
simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter).

[BRIDGE]: Kill clone argument to br_flood_*

2007-09-16T23:20:48+00:00

The clone argument is only used by one caller and that caller can clone
the packet itself.  This patch moves the clone call into the caller and
kills the clone argument.

[BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.

2007-08-31T05:15:35+00:00

This patch fixes some packet leakage in bridge.  The bridging code was
allowing forward table entries to be generated even if a device was
being blocked. The fix is to not add forwarding database entries
unless the port is active.

The bug arose as part of the conversion to processing STP frames
through normal receive path (in 2.6.17).

[BRIDGE]: if no STP then forward all BPDUs

2007-04-26T05:30:02+00:00

If a bridge is not running STP, then it has no way to detect a cycle
in the network. But if it is not running STP and some other machine
or device is running STP, then if STP BPDU's get forwarded to it can
detect the cycle.

This is how the old 2.4 and early 2.6 code worked.

[BRIDGE]: drop PAUSE frames

2007-04-26T05:30:01+00:00

Pause frames should never make it out of the network device into
the stack. But if a device was misconfigured, it might happen.
So drop pause frames in bridge.

[BRIDGE]: don't change packet type

2007-04-26T05:30:00+00:00

The change to forward STP bpdu's (for usermode STP) through normal path,
changed the packet type in the process. Since link local stuff is multicast, it
should stay pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST.  The code was probably copy/pasted
incorrectly from the bridge pseudo-device receive path.
