net: bridge: convert multicast to generic rhashtable

2018-12-06T01:01:51Z

The bridge multicast code currently uses a custom resizable hashtable which predates the generic rhashtable interface. It has many shortcomings compared and duplicates functionality that is presently available via the generic rhashtable, so this patch removes the custom rhashtable implementation in favor of the kernel's generic rhashtable. The hash maximum is kept and the rhashtable's size is used to do a loose check if it's reached in which case we revert to the old behaviour and disable further bridge multicast processing. Also now we can support any hash maximum, doesn't need to be a power of 2. v3: add non-rcu br_mdb_get variant and use it where multicast_lock is held to avoid RCU splat, drop hash_max function and just set it directly v2: handle when IGMP snooping is undefined, add br_mdb_init/uninit placeholders Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.

netpoll: allow cleanup to be synchronous

2018-10-20T00:01:43Z

This fixes a problem introduced by: commit 2cde6acd49da ("netpoll: Fix __netpoll_rcu_free so that it can hold the rtnl lock") When using netconsole on a bond, __netpoll_cleanup can asynchronously recurse multiple times, each __netpoll_free_async call can result in more __netpoll_free_async's. This means there is now a race between cleanup_work queues on multiple netpoll_info's on multiple devices and the configuration of a new netpoll. For example if a netconsole is set to enable 0, reconfigured, and enable 1 immediately, this netconsole will likely not work. Given the reason for __netpoll_free_async is it can be called when rtnl is not locked, if it is locked, we should be able to execute synchronously. It appears to be locked everywhere it's called from. Generalize the design pattern from the teaming driver for current callers of __netpoll_free_async. CC: Neil Horman CC: "David S.

net: bridge: disable bridge MTU auto tuning if it was set manually

2018-04-01T02:19:00Z

As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: bridge: set min MTU on port events and allow user to set max

2018-04-01T02:19:00Z

Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

bridge: Allow max MTU when multiple VLANs present

2018-03-23T16:17:30Z

If the bridge is allowing multiple VLANs, some VLANs may have different MTUs. Instead of choosing the minimum MTU for the bridge interface, choose the maximum MTU of the bridge members. With this the user only needs to set a larger MTU on the member ports that are participating in the large MTU VLANS.

net: bridge: use rhashtable for fdbs

2017-12-13T20:10:01Z

Before this patch the bridge used a fixed 256 element hash table which was fine for small use cases (in my tests it starts to degrade above 1000 entries), but it wasn't enough for medium or large scale deployments. Modern setups have thousands of participants in a single bridge, even only enabling vlans and adding a few thousand vlan entries will cause a few thousand fdbs to be automatically inserted per participating port. So we need to scale the fdb table considerably to cope with modern workloads, and this patch converts it to use a rhashtable for its operations thus improving the bridge scalability. Tests show the following results (10 runs each), at up to 1000 entries rhashtable is ~3% slower, at 2000 rhashtable is 30% faster, at 3000 it is 2 times faster and at 30000 it is 50 times faster. Obviously this happens because of the properties of the two constructs and is expected, rhashtable keeps pretty much a constant time even with 10000000 entries (tested), while the fixed hash table struggles considerably even above 10000. As a side effect this also reduces the net_bridge struct size from 3248 bytes to 1344 bytes. Also note that the key struct is 8 bytes. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Define eth_stp_addr in linux/etherdevice.h

2017-11-03T05:17:39Z

The lan9303 driver defines eth_stp_addr as a synonym to eth_reserved_addr_base to get the STP ethernet address 01:80:c2:00:00:00. eth_reserved_addr_base is also used to define the start of Bridge Reserved ethernet address range, which happen to be the STP address. br_dev_setup refer to eth_reserved_addr_base as a definition of STP address. Clean up by: - Move the eth_stp_addr definition to linux/etherdevice.h - Use eth_stp_addr instead of eth_reserved_addr_base in br_dev_setup.
