<title>skbuff: bridge: Add layer 2 miss indication</title>

<content type='text'>
For EVPN non-DF (Designated Forwarder) filtering we need to be able to
prevent decapsulated traffic from being flooded to a multi-homed host.
Filtering of multicast and broadcast traffic can be achieved using the
following flower filter:

 # tc filter add dev bond0 egress pref 1 proto all flower indev vxlan0 dst_mac 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 action drop

Unlike broadcast and multicast traffic, it is not currently possible to
filter unknown unicast traffic. The classification into unknown unicast
is performed by the bridge driver, but is not visible to other layers
such as tc.

Solve this by adding a new 'l2_miss' bit to the tc skb extension. Clear
the bit whenever a packet enters the bridge (received from a bridge port
or transmitted via the bridge) and set it if the packet did not match an
FDB or MDB entry. If there is no skb extension and the bit needs to be
cleared, then do not allocate one as no extension is equivalent to the
bit being cleared. The bit is not set for broadcast packets as they
never perform a lookup and therefore never incur a miss.

A bit that is set for every flooded packet would also work for the
current use case, but it does not allow us to differentiate between
registered and unregistered multicast traffic, which might be useful in
the future.

To keep the performance impact to a minimum, the marking of packets is
guarded by the 'tc_skb_ext_tc' static key. When 'false', the skb is not
touched and an skb extension is not allocated. Instead, only a
5 bytes nop is executed, as demonstrated below for the call site in
br_handle_frame().

Before the patch:

```
        memset(skb-&gt;cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb));
  c37b09:       49 c7 44 24 28 00 00    movq   $0x0,0x28(%r12)
  c37b10:       00 00

        p = br_port_get_rcu(skb-&gt;dev);
  c37b12:       49 8b 44 24 10          mov    0x10(%r12),%rax
        memset(skb-&gt;cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb));
  c37b17:       49 c7 44 24 30 00 00    movq   $0x0,0x30(%r12)
  c37b1e:       00 00
  c37b20:       49 c7 44 24 38 00 00    movq   $0x0,0x38(%r12)
  c37b27:       00 00
```

After the patch (when static key is disabled):

```
        memset(skb-&gt;cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb));
  c37c29:       49 c7 44 24 28 00 00    movq   $0x0,0x28(%r12)
  c37c30:       00 00

  c37c37:       48 c7 40 08 00 00 00    movq   $0x0,0x8(%rax)
  c37c3e:       00
  c37c3f:       48 c7 40 10 00 00 00    movq   $0x0,0x10(%rax)
  c37c46:       00

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_JUMP_LABEL_HACK

static __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct static_key *key, bool branch)
{
        asm_volatile_goto("1:"
  c37c47:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
        br_tc_skb_miss_set(skb, false);

        p = br_port_get_rcu(skb-&gt;dev);
  c37c4c:       49 8b 44 24 10          mov    0x10(%r12),%rax
```

Subsequent patches will extend the flower classifier to be able to match
on the new 'l2_miss' bit and enable / disable the static key when
filters that match on it are added / deleted.

Subsequent patches are going to add per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor
suppression, which will require br_flood() to potentially suppress ARP /
NS packets on a per-{Port, VLAN} basis.

As a preparation, pass the VLAN ID of the packet as another argument to
br_flood().

Subsequent patches are going to add per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor
suppression, which will require br_flood() to potentially suppress ARP /
NS packets on a per-{Port, VLAN} basis.

As a preparation, pass the VLAN ID of the packet as another argument to
br_flood().

<title>bridge: Add MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) support</title>

Hosts that support 802.1X authentication are able to authenticate
themselves by exchanging EAPOL frames with an authenticator (Ethernet
bridge, in this case) and an authentication server. Access to the
network is only granted by the authenticator to successfully
authenticated hosts.

The above is implemented in the bridge using the "locked" bridge port
option. When enabled, link-local frames (e.g., EAPOL) can be locally
received by the bridge, but all other frames are dropped unless the host
is authenticated. That is, unless the user space control plane installed
an FDB entry according to which the source address of the frame is
located behind the locked ingress port. The entry can be dynamic, in
which case learning needs to be enabled so that the entry will be
refreshed by incoming traffic.

There are deployments in which not all the devices connected to the
authenticator (the bridge) support 802.1X. Such devices can include
printers and cameras. One option to support such deployments is to
unlock the bridge ports connecting these devices, but a slightly more
secure option is to use MAB. When MAB is enabled, the MAC address of the
connected device is used as the user name and password for the
authentication.

For MAB to work, the user space control plane needs to be notified about
MAC addresses that are trying to gain access so that they will be
compared against an allow list. This can be implemented via the regular
learning process with the sole difference that learned FDB entries are
installed with a new "locked" flag indicating that the entry cannot be
used to authenticate the device. The flag cannot be set by user space,
but user space can clear the flag by replacing the entry, thereby
authenticating the device.

Locked FDB entries implement the following semantics with regards to
roaming, aging and forwarding:

1. Roaming: Locked FDB entries can roam to unlocked (authorized) ports,
   in which case the "locked" flag is cleared. FDB entries cannot roam
   to locked ports regardless of MAB being enabled or not. Therefore,
   locked FDB entries are only created if an FDB entry with the given {MAC,
   VID} does not already exist. This behavior prevents unauthenticated
   devices from disrupting traffic destined to already authenticated
   devices.

2. Aging: Locked FDB entries age and refresh by incoming traffic like
   regular entries.

3. Forwarding: Locked FDB entries forward traffic like regular entries.
   If user space detects an unauthorized MAC behind a locked port and
   wishes to prevent traffic with this MAC DA from reaching the host, it
   can do so using tc or a different mechanism.

Enable the above behavior using a new bridge port option called "mab".
It can only be enabled on a bridge port that is both locked and has
learning enabled. Locked FDB entries are flushed from the port once MAB
is disabled. A new option is added because there are pure 802.1X
deployments that are not interested in notifications about locked FDB
entries.

<title>net: bridge: Clear offload_fwd_mark when passing frame up bridge interface.</title>

It is possible to stack bridges on top of each other. Consider the
following which makes use of an Ethernet switch:

       br1
     /    \
    /      \
   /        \
 br0.11    wlan0
   |
   br0
 /  |  \
p1  p2  p3

br0 is offloaded to the switch. Above br0 is a vlan interface, for
vlan 11. This vlan interface is then a slave of br1. br1 also has a
wireless interface as a slave. This setup trunks wireless lan traffic
over the copper network inside a VLAN.

A frame received on p1 which is passed up to the bridge has the
skb-&gt;offload_fwd_mark flag set to true, indicating that the switch has
dealt with forwarding the frame out ports p2 and p3 as needed. This
flag instructs the software bridge it does not need to pass the frame
back down again. However, the flag is not getting reset when the frame
is passed upwards. As a result br1 sees the flag, wrongly interprets
it, and fails to forward the frame to wlan0.

When passing a frame upwards, clear the flag. This is the Rx
equivalent of br_switchdev_frame_unmark() in br_dev_xmit().

Allow the user to switch from the current per-VLAN STP mode to an MST
mode.

Up to this point, per-VLAN STP states where always isolated from each
other. This is in contrast to the MSTP standard (802.1Q-2018, Clause
13.5), where VLANs are grouped into MST instances (MSTIs), and the
state is managed on a per-MSTI level, rather that at the per-VLAN
level.

Perhaps due to the prevalence of the standard, many switching ASICs
are built after the same model. Therefore, add a corresponding MST
mode to the bridge, which we can later add offloading support for in a
straight-forward way.

For now, all VLANs are fixed to MSTI 0, also called the Common
Spanning Tree (CST). That is, all VLANs will follow the port-global
state.

Upcoming changes will make this actually useful by allowing VLANs to
be mapped to arbitrary MSTIs and allow individual MSTI states to be
changed.

In a 802.1X scenario, clients connected to a bridge port shall not
be allowed to have traffic forwarded until fully authenticated.
A static fdb entry of the clients MAC address for the bridge port
unlocks the client and allows bidirectional communication.

This scenario is facilitated with setting the bridge port in locked
mode, which is also supported by various switchcore chipsets.

Add a global knob that controls if vlan multicast snooping is enabled.
The proper contexts (vlan or bridge-wide) will be chosen based on the knob
when processing packets and changing bridge device state. Note that
vlans have their individual mcast snooping enabled by default, but this
knob is needed to turn on bridge vlan snooping. It is disabled by
default. To enable the knob vlan filtering must also be enabled, it
doesn't make sense to have vlan mcast snooping without vlan filtering
since that would lead to inconsistencies. Disabling vlan filtering will
also automatically disable vlan mcast snooping.
