bridge: fix NULL pointer deref of br_port_get_rcu

2013-09-16T02:03:33+00:00

The NULL deref happens when br_handle_frame is called between these
2 lines of del_nbp:
	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_BRIDGE_PORT;
	/* --> br_handle_frame is called at this time */
	netdev_rx_handler_unregister(dev);

In br_handle_frame the return of br_port_get_rcu(dev) is dereferenced
without check but br_port_get_rcu(dev) returns NULL if:
	!(dev->priv_flags & IFF_BRIDGE_PORT)

Eric Dumazet pointed out the testing of IFF_BRIDGE_PORT is not necessary
here since we're in rcu_read_lock and we have synchronize_net() in
netdev_rx_handler_unregister. So remove the testing of IFF_BRIDGE_PORT
and by the previous patch, make sure br_port_get_rcu is called in
bridging code.

bridge: use br_port_get_rtnl within rtnl lock

current br_port_get_rcu is problematic in bridging path
(NULL deref). Change these calls in netlink path first.

bridge: Clamp forward_delay when enabling STP

2013-09-13T03:32:14+00:00

At some point limits were added to forward_delay.  However, the
limits are only enforced when STP is enabled.  This created a
scenario where you could have a value outside the allowed range
while STP is disabled, which then stuck around even after STP
is enabled.

This patch fixes this by clamping the value when we enable STP.

I had to move the locking around a bit to ensure that there is
no window where someone could insert a value outside the range
while we're in the middle of enabling STP.

resubmit bridge: fix message_age_timer calculation

2013-09-13T03:30:37+00:00

This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as
opposed to the local bridge's max age.  This is in accordance with section
8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification.

With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge
diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is
configured to have a longer max age.

Tested successfully on bridge diameters of ~200.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "Noteworthy changes this time around:

   1) Multicast rejoin support for team driver, from Jiri Pirko.

   2) Centralize and simplify TCP RTT measurement handling in order to
      reduce the impact of bad RTO seeding from SYN/ACKs.  Also, when
      both timestamps and local RTT measurements are available prefer
      the later because there are broken middleware devices which
      scramble the timestamp.

      From Yuchung Cheng.

   3) Add TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option to limit the amount of kernel
      memory consumed to queue up unsend user data.  From Eric Dumazet.

   4) Add a "physical port ID" abstraction for network devices, from
      Jiri Pirko.

   5) Add a "suppress" operation to influence fib_rules lookups, from
      Stefan Tomanek.

   6) Add a networking development FAQ, from Paul Gortmaker.

   7) Extend the information provided by tcp_probe and add ipv6 support,
      from Daniel Borkmann.

   8) Use RCU locking more extensively in openvswitch data paths, from
      Pravin B Shelar.

   9) Add SCTP support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

  10) Add EF10 chip support to SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings.

  11) Add new SYNPROXY netfilter target, from Patrick McHardy.

  12) Compute a rate approximation for sending in TCP sockets, and use
      this to more intelligently coalesce TSO frames.  Furthermore, add
      a new packet scheduler which takes advantage of this estimate when
      available.  From Eric Dumazet.

  13) Allow AF_PACKET fanouts with random selection, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  14) Add ipv6 support to vxlan driver, from Cong Wang"

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_platform.c
	net/bridge/br_multicast.c
	net/ipv6/sit.c

The conflicts were minor:

1) sit.c changes overlap with change to ip_tunnel_xmit() signature.

2) br_multicast.c had an overlap between computing max_delay using
   msecs_to_jiffies and turning MLDV2_MRC() into an inline function
   with a name using lowercase instead of uppercase letters.

3) stmmac had two overlapping changes, one which conditionally allocated
   and hooked up a dma_cfg based upon the presence of the pbl OF property,
   and another one handling store-and-forward DMA made.  The latter of
   which should not go into the new of_find_property() basic block.

bridge: prevent flooding IPv6 packets that do not have a listener

2013-09-05T16:35:41+00:00

Currently if there is no listener for a certain group then IPv6 packets
for that group are flooded on all ports, even though there might be no
host and router interested in it on a port.

With this commit they are only forwarded to ports with a multicast
router.

Just like commit bd4265fe36 ("bridge: Only flood unregistered groups
to routers") did for IPv4, let's do the same for IPv6 with the same
reasoning.
