* bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zeroStephen Hemminger2008-09-082-9/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per second. He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2 and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface. In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts are specifying a hello timer interval of "0". The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

* bridge: Eliminate unnecessary forward delayStephen Hemminger2008-08-051-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Based upon original patch by Herbert Xu, which contained the following problem description: -------------------- When the forward delay is set to zero, we still delay the setting of the forwarding state by one or possibly two timers depending on whether STP is enabled. This could either turn out to be instantaneous, or horribly slow depending on the load of the machine. As there is nothing preventing us from enabling forwarding straight away, this patch eliminates this potential delay by executing the code directly if the forward delay is zero. The effect of this problem is that immediately after the carrier comes on a port, the bridge will drop all packets received from that port until it enters forwarding mode, thus causing unnecessary packet loss. Note that this patch doesn't fully remove the delay due to the link watcher. We should also check the carrier state when we are about to drop an incoming packet because the port is disabled. But that's for another patch. -------------------- This version of the fix takes a different approach, in that it just does the state change directly. Signed-off-by: David S.

* bridge: fix compile warning in net/bridge/br_netfilter.cRami Rosen2008-08-051-1/+1

* bridge: send correct MTU value in PMTU (revised)Simon Wunderlich2008-07-304-30/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU. But when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated. However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this situation. The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame size, and the same problem will occur again. Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent via PMTU. To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored in its net_bridge structure. Modified to get rid of fake_net_device as well. Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unregistering a bridge device may cause virtual devices stacked on the bridge, like vlan or macvlan devices, to be unregistered as well. br_cleanup_bridges() uses for_each_netdev_safe() to iterate over all devices during cleanup. This is not enough however, if one of the additionally unregistered devices is next in the list to the bridge device, it will get freed as well and the iteration continues on the freed element. Restart iteration after each bridge device removal from the beginning to fix this, similar to what rtnl_link_unregister() does.

* bridge: kernel panic when unloading bridge moduleBodo Stroesser2008-04-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter. The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko. br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which is NULL. Moving the call of br_netfilter_fini() to the end of br_deinit() solves the problem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a fake net_device structure to skbs it passes up to IPv4 netfilter. This leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when dereferencing the namespace pointer. Since bridging can currently only operate in the init_net namespace, the easiest fix for now is to initialize the nd_net pointer of the fake net_device struct to &init_net.
