bridge: fix race with topology change timer

2013-05-03T20:08:58+00:00

A bridge should only send topology change notice if it is not
the root bridge. It is possible for message age timer to elect itself
as a new root bridge, and still have a topology change timer running
but waiting for bridge lock on other CPU.

Solve the race by checking if we are root bridge before continuing.
This was the root cause of the cases where br_send_tcn_bpdu would OOPS.

bridge: avoid OOPS if root port not found

2013-04-30T19:51:08+00:00

Bridge can crash while trying to send topology change packet.
This happens if root port can't be found. This was reported by user
but currently unable to reproduce it easily. The STP conditions that cause
this are not known yet, but the problem doesn't have to be fatal.

bridge: Add fdb dst check during fdb update

2013-04-29T15:40:26+00:00

Current bridge fdb update code does not seem to update the port
during fdb update. This patch adds a check for fdb dst (port)
change during fdb update. Also rearranges the call to
fdb_notify to send only one notification for create and update.

Changelog:
v2 - Change notify flag to bool

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

net: vlan: add protocol argument to packet tagging functions

2013-04-19T18:46:06+00:00

Add a protocol argument to the VLAN packet tagging functions. In case of HW
tagging, we need that protocol available in the ndo_start_xmit functions,
so it is stored in a new field in the skb. The new field fits into a hole
(on 64 bit) and doesn't increase the sks's size.

net: vlan: prepare for 802.1ad support

2013-04-19T18:45:27+00:00

Make the encapsulation protocol value a property of VLAN devices and change
the device lookup functions to take the protocol value into account.

net: vlan: prepare for 802.1ad VLAN filtering offload

2013-04-19T18:45:27+00:00

Change the rx_{add,kill}_vid callbacks to take a protocol argument in
preparation of 802.1ad support. The protocol argument used so far is
always htons(ETH_P_8021Q).

net: vlan: rename NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_* feature flags to NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_*

2013-04-19T18:45:26+00:00

Rename the hardware VLAN acceleration features to include "CTAG" to indicate
that they only support CTAGs. Follow up patches will introduce 802.1ad
server provider tagging (STAGs) and require the distinction for hardware not
supporting acclerating both.

bridge: make user modified path cost sticky

2013-04-15T18:03:44+00:00

Keep a STP port path cost value if it was set by a user.
Don't replace it with the link-speed based path cost
whenever the link goes down and comes back up.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter and IPVS updates for
your net-next tree, most relevantly they are:

* Add net namespace support to NFLOG, ULOG and ebt_ulog and NFQUEUE.
  The LOG and ebt_log target has been also adapted, but they still
  depend on the syslog netnamespace that seems to be missing, from
  Gao Feng.

* Don't lose indications of congestion in IPv6 fragmentation handling,
  from Hannes Frederic Sowa.i

* IPVS conversion to use RCU, including some code consolidation patches
  and optimizations, also some from Julian Anastasov.

* cpu fanout support for NFQUEUE, from Holger Eitzenberger.

* Better error reporting to userspace when dropping packets from
  all our _*_[xfrm|route]_me_harder functions, from Patrick McHardy.
