Now that we have a nested tunnel info attribute we can add a separate
one for the tunnel command and require it explicitly from user-space. It
must be one of RTM_SETLINK/DELLINK. Only RTM_SETLINK requires a valid
tunnel id, DELLINK just removes it if it was set before. This allows us
to have all tunnel attributes and control in one place, thus removing
the need for an outside vlan info flag.

While discussing the new API, Roopa mentioned that we'll be adding more
tunnel attributes and options in the future, so it's better to make it a
nested attribute, since this is still in net-next we can easily change it
and nest the tunnel id attribute under BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_INFO.

The new format is:
 [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY]
     [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_INFO]
         [BRIDGE_VLANDB_TINFO_ID]

Any new tunnel attributes can be nested under
BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_INFO.

<title>net: bridge: vlan: include stats in dumps if requested</title>

<id>56d099761a1e989fe6104de55a7c8b307ce9cfea</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for vlan stats to be included when dumping vlan
information. We have to dump them only when explicitly requested (thus the
flag below) because that disables the vlan range compression and will make
the dump significantly larger. In order to request the stats to be
included we add a new dump attribute called BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMP_FLAGS which
can affect dumps with the following first flag:
  - BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMPF_STATS
The stats are intentionally nested and put into separate attributes to make
it easier for extending later since we plan to add per-vlan mcast stats,
drop stats and possibly STP stats. This is the last missing piece from the
new vlan API which makes the dumped vlan information complete.

A dump request which should include stats looks like:
 [BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMP_FLAGS] |= BRIDGE_VLANDB_DUMPF_STATS

A vlandb entry attribute with stats looks like:
 [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY] = {
     [BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_STATS] = {
         [BRIDGE_VLANDB_STATS_RX_BYTES]
         [BRIDGE_VLANDB_STATS_RX_PACKETS]
         ...
     }
 }

This patch adds support for manipulating vlan/tunnel mappings. The
tunnel ids are globally unique and are one per-vlan. There were two
trickier issues - first in order to support vlan ranges we have to
compute the current tunnel id in the following way:
 - base tunnel id (attr) + current vlan id - starting vlan id
This is in line how the old API does vlan/tunnel mapping with ranges. We
already have the vlan range present, so it's redundant to add another
attribute for the tunnel range end. It's simply base tunnel id + vlan
range. And second to support removing mappings we need an out-of-band way
to tell the option manipulating function because there are no
special/reserved tunnel id values, so we use a vlan flag to denote the
operation is tunnel mapping removal.

Add a new option - BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_ID which is used to dump
the tunnel id mapping. Since they're unique per vlan they can enter a
vlan range if they're consecutive, thus we can calculate the tunnel id
range map simply as: vlan range end id - vlan range start id. The
starting point is the tunnel id in BRIDGE_VLANDB_ENTRY_TUNNEL_ID. This
is similar to how the tunnel entries can be created in a range via the
old API (a vlan range maps to a tunnel range).

The vlan tunnel code changes vlan options, it shouldn't touch port or

us to re-use these functions from the vlan options code.

It is more appropriate name as it shows the intent of why we need to
check the options' state. It also allows us to give meaning to the two
arguments of the function: the first is the current vlan (v_curr) being
checked if it could enter the range ending in the second one (range_end).

<title>netfilter: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>6daf14140129d30207ed6a0a69851fa6a3636bda</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Lastly, fix checkpatch.pl warning
WARNING: __aligned(size) is preferred over __attribute__((aligned(size)))
in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

In br_dev_xmit() we perform vlan filtering in br_allowed_ingress() but
if the packet has the vlan header inside (e.g. bridge with disabled
tx-vlan-offload) then the vlan filtering code will use skb_vlan_untag()
to extract the vid before filtering which in turn calls pskb_may_pull()
and we may end up with a stale eth pointer. Moreover the cached eth header
pointer will generally be wrong after that operation. Remove the eth header
caching and just use eth_hdr() directly, the compiler does the right thing
and calculates it only once so we don't lose anything.
