Do not offload IGMP/MLD messages as it could lead to IGMP/MLD Reports
being unintentionally flooded to Hosts. Instead, let the bridge decide
where to send these IGMP/MLD messages.

Consider the case where the local host is sending out reports in response
to a remote querier like the following:

       mcast-listener-process (IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP)
          \
          br0
         /   \
      swp1   swp2
        |     |
  QUERIER     SOME-OTHER-HOST

In the above setup, br0 will want to br_forward() reports for
mcast-listener-process's group(s) via swp1 to QUERIER; but since the
source hwdom is 0, the report is eligible for tx offloading, and is
flooded by hardware to both swp1 and swp2, reaching SOME-OTHER-HOST as
well. (Example and illustration provided by Tobias.)

<content type='text'>
The bridge maintains a global list of ports behind which a multicast
router resides. The list is consulted during forwarding to ensure
multicast packets are forwarded to these ports even if the ports are not
member in the matching MDB entry.

When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the per-port multicast
context is disabled on each port and the port is removed from the global
router port list:

 # ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1
 # ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
 $ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
 router ports on br1: dummy1
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
 $ bridge -d mdb show | grep router

However, the port can be re-added to the global list even when per-VLAN
multicast snooping is enabled:

 # ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 0
 # ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
 $ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
 router ports on br1: dummy1

Since commit 4b30ae9adb04 ("net: bridge: mcast: re-implement
br_multicast_{enable, disable}_port functions"), when per-VLAN multicast
snooping is enabled, multicast disablement on a port will disable the
per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts and not the per-port one. As a
result, a port will remain in the global router port list even after it
is deleted. This will lead to a use-after-free [1] when the list is
traversed (when adding a new port to the list, for example):

 # ip link del dev dummy1
 # ip link add name dummy2 up master br1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev dummy2 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2

Similarly, stale entries can also be found in the per-VLAN router port
list. When per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled, the per-{port, VLAN}
contexts are disabled on each port and the port is removed from the
per-VLAN router port list:

 # ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1 mcast_vlan_snooping 1
 # ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
 # bridge vlan add vid 2 dev dummy1
 # bridge vlan global set vid 2 dev br1 mcast_snooping 1
 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 2
 $ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
       router ports: dummy1
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 0
 $ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router

However, the port can be re-added to the per-VLAN list even when
per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled:

 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 0
 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 2
 $ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
       router ports: dummy1

When the VLAN is deleted from the port, the per-{port, VLAN} multicast
context will not be disabled since multicast snooping is not enabled
on the VLAN. As a result, the port will remain in the per-VLAN router
port list even after it is no longer member in the VLAN. This will lead
to a use-after-free [2] when the list is traversed (when adding a new
port to the list, for example):

 # ip link add name dummy2 up master br1 type dummy
 # bridge vlan add vid 2 dev dummy2
 # bridge vlan del vid 2 dev dummy1
 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy2 mcast_router 2

Fix these issues by removing the port from the relevant (global or
per-VLAN) router port list in br_multicast_port_ctx_deinit(). The
function is invoked during port deletion with the per-port multicast
context and during VLAN deletion with the per-{port, VLAN} multicast
context.

Note that deleting the multicast router timer is not enough as it only
takes care of the temporary multicast router states (1 or 3) and not the
permanent one (2).

The bridge maintains a global list of ports behind which a multicast

multicast packets are forwarded to these ports even if the ports are not
member in the matching MDB entry.

When per-VLAN multicast snooping is enabled, the per-port multicast
context is disabled on each port and the port is removed from the global
router port list:

 # ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1
 # ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
 $ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
 router ports on br1: dummy1
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
 $ bridge -d mdb show | grep router

However, the port can be re-added to the global list even when per-VLAN
multicast snooping is enabled:

 # ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 0
 # ip link set dev dummy1 type bridge_slave mcast_router 2
 $ bridge -d mdb show | grep router
 router ports on br1: dummy1

Since commit 4b30ae9adb04 ("net: bridge: mcast: re-implement
br_multicast_{enable, disable}_port functions"), when per-VLAN multicast
snooping is enabled, multicast disablement on a port will disable the
per-{port, VLAN} multicast contexts and not the per-port one. As a

Similarly, stale entries can also be found in the per-VLAN router port
list. When per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled, the per-{port, VLAN}
contexts are disabled on each port and the port is removed from the
per-VLAN router port list:

 # ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1 mcast_vlan_snooping 1
 # ip link add name dummy1 up master br1 type dummy
 # bridge vlan add vid 2 dev dummy1
 # bridge vlan global set vid 2 dev br1 mcast_snooping 1
 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 2
 $ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
       router ports: dummy1
 # ip link set dev br1 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 0
 $ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router

However, the port can be re-added to the per-VLAN list even when
per-VLAN multicast snooping is disabled:

 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 0
 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy1 mcast_router 2
 $ bridge vlan global show dev br1 vid 2 | grep router
       router ports: dummy1

When the VLAN is deleted from the port, the per-{port, VLAN} multicast
context will not be disabled since multicast snooping is not enabled
on the VLAN. As a result, the port will remain in the per-VLAN router
port list even after it is no longer member in the VLAN. This will lead
to a use-after-free [2] when the list is traversed (when adding a new
port to the list, for example):

 # ip link add name dummy2 up master br1 type dummy
 # bridge vlan add vid 2 dev dummy2
 # bridge vlan del vid 2 dev dummy1
 # bridge vlan set vid 2 dev dummy2 mcast_router 2

Fix these issues by removing the port from the relevant (global or
per-VLAN) router port list in br_multicast_port_ctx_deinit(). The
function is invoked during port deletion with the per-port multicast
context and during VLAN deletion with the per-{port, VLAN} multicast

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
     data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

   - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
     under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
     faster.

   - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
     the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
     scalability.

   - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
     abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
     micro-benchmarks.

   - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
     performance improvement in related stream tests.

   - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
     prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
     on PREMPT_RT.

   - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
     verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

  Netfilter:

   - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
     considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
     use this interface.

   - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
     flowtables.

   - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

   - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
     introspection.

  BPF:

   - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
     programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
     using the "tc qdisc" command.

   - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
     WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

  Protocols:

   - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
     upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
     single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

   - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
     security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

   - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
     matches the nexthop device.

   - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
     and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

   - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
     distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
     organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
     in the fast path.

   - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

  Driver API:

   - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
     the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
     unsupported flags.

   - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

   - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
     dump operations targeting PHYs.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
     ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
     qdisc layer configuration.

   - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
     known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
     netlink output.

   - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

   - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
     the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
     user-space implementation.

   - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

   - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

   - AMD Renoir ethernet device.

   - ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.

   - Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver.

  Drivers:

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
     data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

   - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
     under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
     faster.

   - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
     the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
     scalability.

   - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
     abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
     micro-benchmarks.

   - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
     performance improvement in related stream tests.

   - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
     prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
     on PREMPT_RT.

   - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
     verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

  Netfilter:

   - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
     considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
     use this interface.

   - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
     flowtables.

   - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

   - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
     introspection.

  BPF:

   - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
     programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
     using the "tc qdisc" command.

   - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
     WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

  Protocols:

   - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
     upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
     single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

   - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
     security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

   - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
     matches the nexthop device.

   - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
     and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

   - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
     distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
     organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
     in the fast path.

   - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

  Driver API:

   - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
     the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
     unsupported flags.

   - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

   - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
     dump operations targeting PHYs.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
     ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
     qdisc layer configuration.

   - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
     known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
     netlink output.

   - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

   - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
     the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
     user-space implementation.

   - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

   - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

   - AMD Renoir ethernet device.

   - ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.

<title>bridge: netfilter: Fix forwarding of fragmented packets</title>
<updated>2025-05-16T23:02:06+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Ido Schimmel</name>
<email>idosch@nvidia.com</email>
</author>
<published>2025-05-15T08:48:48+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=91b6dbced0ef1d680afdd69b14fc83d50ebafaf3'/>
<id>91b6dbced0ef1d680afdd69b14fc83d50ebafaf3</id>
<content type='text'>
When netfilter defrag hooks are loaded (due to the presence of conntrack
rules, for example), fragmented packets entering the bridge will be
defragged by the bridge's pre-routing hook (br_nf_pre_routing() -&gt;
ipv4_conntrack_defrag()).

Later on, in the bridge's post-routing hook, the defragged packet will
be fragmented again. If the size of the largest fragment is larger than
what the kernel has determined as the destination MTU (using
ip_skb_dst_mtu()), the defragged packet will be dropped.

Before commit ac6627a28dbf ("net: ipv4: Consolidate ipv4_mtu and
ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward"), ip_skb_dst_mtu() would return dst_mtu() as
the destination MTU. Assuming the dst entry attached to the packet is
the bridge's fake rtable one, this would simply be the bridge's MTU (see
fake_mtu()).

However, after above mentioned commit, ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up
returning the route's MTU stored in the dst entry's metrics. Ideally, in
case the dst entry is the bridge's fake rtable one, this should be the
bridge's MTU as the bridge takes care of updating this metric when its
MTU changes (see br_change_mtu()).

Unfortunately, the last operation is a no-op given the metrics attached
to the fake rtable entry are marked as read-only. Therefore,
ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up returning 1500 (the initial MTU value) and
defragged packets are dropped during fragmentation when dealing with
large fragments and high MTU (e.g., 9k).

Fix by moving the fake rtable entry's metrics to be per-bridge (in a
similar fashion to the fake rtable entry itself) and marking them as
writable, thereby allowing MTU changes to be reflected.

Fixes: 62fa8a846d7d ("net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.")
Fixes: 33eb9873a283 ("bridge: initialize fake_rtable metrics")

When netfilter defrag hooks are loaded (due to the presence of conntrack
rules, for example), fragmented packets entering the bridge will be
defragged by the bridge's pre-routing hook (br_nf_pre_routing() -&gt;
ipv4_conntrack_defrag()).

Later on, in the bridge's post-routing hook, the defragged packet will
be fragmented again. If the size of the largest fragment is larger than
what the kernel has determined as the destination MTU (using
ip_skb_dst_mtu()), the defragged packet will be dropped.

Before commit ac6627a28dbf ("net: ipv4: Consolidate ipv4_mtu and
ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward"), ip_skb_dst_mtu() would return dst_mtu() as
the destination MTU. Assuming the dst entry attached to the packet is
the bridge's fake rtable one, this would simply be the bridge's MTU (see
fake_mtu()).

However, after above mentioned commit, ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up
returning the route's MTU stored in the dst entry's metrics. Ideally, in
case the dst entry is the bridge's fake rtable one, this should be the
bridge's MTU as the bridge takes care of updating this metric when its
MTU changes (see br_change_mtu()).

Unfortunately, the last operation is a no-op given the metrics attached
to the fake rtable entry are marked as read-only. Therefore,
ip_skb_dst_mtu() ends up returning 1500 (the initial MTU value) and
defragged packets are dropped during fragmentation when dealing with
large fragments and high MTU (e.g., 9k).

Fix by moving the fake rtable entry's metrics to be per-bridge (in a
similar fashion to the fake rtable entry itself) and marking them as
writable, thereby allowing MTU changes to be reflected.

Fixes: 62fa8a846d7d ("net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.")
Fixes: 33eb9873a283 ("bridge: initialize fake_rtable metrics")

<title>netfilter: bridge: Move specific fragmented packet to slow_path instead of dropping it</title>

The config NF_CONNTRACK_BRIDGE will change the bridge forwarding for
fragmented packets.

The original bridge does not know that it is a fragmented packet and
forwards it directly, after NF_CONNTRACK_BRIDGE is enabled, function
nf_br_ip_fragment and br_ip6_fragment will check the headroom.

In original br_forward, insufficient headroom of skb may indeed exist,
but there's still a way to save the skb in the device driver after
dev_queue_xmit.So droping the skb will change the original bridge
forwarding in some cases.

<title>net: bridge: mcast: update multicast contex when vlan state is changed</title>

When the vlan STP state is changed, which could be manipulated by
"bridge vlan" commands, similar to port STP state, this also impacts
multicast behaviors such as igmp query. In the scenario of per-VLAN
snooping, there's a need to update the corresponding multicast context
to re-arm the port query timer when vlan state becomes "forwarding" etc.

Update br_vlan_set_state() function to enable vlan multicast context
in such scenario.

Before the patch, the IGMP query does not happen in the last step of the
following test sequence, i.e. no growth for tx counter:
 # ip link add name br1 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1 mcast_vlan_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1 mcast_stats_enabled 1
 # bridge vlan global set vid 1 dev br1 mcast_snooping 1 mcast_querier 1 mcast_query_interval 100 mcast_startup_query_count 0
 # ip link add name swp1 up master br1 type dummy
 # sleep 1
 # bridge vlan set vid 1 dev swp1 state 4
 # ip -j -p stats show dev swp1 group xstats_slave subgroup bridge suite mcast | jq '.[]["multicast"]["igmp_queries"]["tx_v2"]'
1
 # sleep 1
 # ip -j -p stats show dev swp1 group xstats_slave subgroup bridge suite mcast | jq '.[]["multicast"]["igmp_queries"]["tx_v2"]'

 # bridge vlan set vid 1 dev swp1 state 3
 # sleep 2
 # ip -j -p stats show dev swp1 group xstats_slave subgroup bridge suite mcast | jq '.[]["multicast"]["igmp_queries"]["tx_v2"]'
