Bridge: Always send NETDEV_CHANGEADDR up on br MAC change.

2011-08-10T04:44:44+00:00

This ensures the neighbor entries associated with the bridge
dev are flushed, also invalidating the associated cached L2 headers.

This means we br_add_if/br_del_if ports to implement hand-over and
not wind up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC.

This means we can also change MAC of port device and also not wind
up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC.

This builds on Stephen Hemminger's patch, also handling the br_del_if
case and the port MAC change case.

bridge: minor cleanups

2011-07-23T00:01:13+00:00

Some minor cleanups that won't impact code:
  1. Remove inline from non-critical functions; compiler will most
     likely inline them anyway.
  2. Make function args const where possible.
  3. Whitespace cleanup

bridge: add notification over netlink when STP changes state

2011-07-23T00:01:12+00:00

When STP changes state of interface need to send a new link
message to reflect that change.

bridge: notifier called with the wrong device

2011-07-23T00:01:12+00:00

If a new device is added to a bridge, the ethernet address of the
bridge network device may change. When the address changes, the
appropriate callback is called, but with the wrong device argument.
The address of the bridge device (ie br0) changes not the address
of the device being passed to add_if (ie eth0).

bridge: ignore bogus STP config packets

2011-07-23T00:01:12+00:00

If the message_age is already greater than the max_age, then the
BPDU is bogus. Linux won't generate BPDU, but conformance tester
or buggy implementation might.

bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDU

2011-07-23T00:01:12+00:00

A bridge topology with three systems:

      +------+  +------+
      | A(2) |--| B(1) |
      +------+  +------+
           \    /
          +------+
          | C(3) |
          +------+

What is supposed to happen:
 * bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B)
 * C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state

What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as
root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU
doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that
the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state.

The root cause of this is that the configuration messages
is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before
sending.

In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be:
  the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by
  the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU.

Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when
recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time
elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

net, netfilter: Remove redundant goto in ebt_ulog_packet

2011-07-21T12:02:17+00:00

In net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_ulog.c:ebt_ulog_packet() the 'goto unlock'
before the 'alloc_failure' label is completely redundant. This patch
removes it.
