e5e8906305 net: bridge: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. Then, if neigh_suppress is enabled and an ICMPv6
Neighbor Discovery packet reaches the bridge, br_do_suppress_nd() will
dereference ipv6_stub->nd_tbl which is NULL, passing it to
neigh_lookup(). This causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference.

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000268
 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI

Fix this by replacing IS_ENABLED(IPV6) call with ipv6_mod_enabled() in
the callers. This is in essence disabling NS/NA suppression when IPv6 is
disabled.

93c9475c04 bridge: Check relevant per-VLAN options in VLAN range grouping
The br_vlan_opts_eq_range() function determines if consecutive VLANs can
be grouped together in a range for compact netlink notifications. It
currently checks state, tunnel info, and multicast router configuration,
but misses two categories of per-VLAN options that affect the output:
1. User-visible priv_flags (neigh_suppress, mcast_enabled)
2. Port multicast context (mcast_max_groups, mcast_n_groups)

When VLANs have different settings for these options, they are incorrectly
grouped into ranges, causing netlink notifications to report only one
VLAN's settings for the entire range.

Fix by checking priv_flags equality, but only for flags that affect netlink
output (BR_VLFLAG_NEIGH_SUPPRESS_ENABLED and BR_VLFLAG_MCAST_ENABLED),
and comparing multicast context (mcast_max_groups and mcast_n_groups).

Example showing the bugs before the fix:

$ bridge vlan set vid 10 dev dummy1 neigh_suppress on
$ bridge vlan set vid 11 dev dummy1 neigh_suppress off
$ bridge -d vlan show dev dummy1
  port             vlan-id
  dummy1           10-11
                      ... neigh_suppress on

$ bridge vlan set vid 10 dev dummy1 mcast_max_groups 100
$ bridge vlan set vid 11 dev dummy1 mcast_max_groups 200
$ bridge -d vlan show dev dummy1
  port             vlan-id
  dummy1           10-11
                      ... mcast_max_groups 100

After the fix, VLANs 10 and 11 are shown as separate entries with their
correct individual settings.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

8b769e311a net: bridge: mcast: always update mdb_n_entries for vlan contexts
syzbot triggered a warning[1] about the number of mdb entries in a context.
It turned out that there are multiple ways to trigger that warning today
(some got added during the years), the root cause of the problem is that
the increase is done conditionally, and over the years these different
conditions increased so there were new ways to trigger the warning, that is
to do a decrease which wasn't paired with a previous increase.

For example one way to trigger it is with flush:
 $ ip l add br0 up type bridge vlan_filtering 1 mcast_snooping 1
 $ ip l add dumdum up master br0 type dummy
 $ bridge mdb add dev br0 port dumdum grp 239.0.0.1 permanent vid 1
 $ ip link set dev br0 down
 $ ip link set dev br0 type bridge mcast_vlan_snooping 1
   ^^^^ this will enable snooping, but will not update mdb_n_entries
        because in __br_multicast_enable_port_ctx() we check !netif_running
 $ bridge mdb flush dev br0
   ^^^ this will trigger the warning because it will delete the pg which
       we added above, which will try to decrease mdb_n_entries

Fix the problem by removing the conditional increase and always keep the
count up-to-date while the vlan exists. In order to do that we have to
first initialize it on port-vlan context creation, and then always increase
or decrease the value regardless of mcast options. To keep the current
behaviour we have to enforce the mdb limit only if the context is port's or
if the port-vlan's mcast snooping is enabled.

b2936b4fd5 net/ipv6: Introduce payload_len helpers
The next commits will transition away from using the hop-by-hop
extension header to encode packet length for BIG TCP. Add wrappers
around ip6->payload_len that return the actual value if it's non-zero,
and calculate it from skb->len if payload_len is set to zero (and a
symmetrical setter).

The new helpers are used wherever the surrounding code supports the
hop-by-hop jumbo header for BIG TCP IPv6, or the corresponding IPv4 code
uses skb_ip_totlen (e.g., in include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.h).

No behavioral change in this commit.

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net*:

1) Fix overlap detection for nf_tables with concatenated ranges.
   There are cases where element could not be added due to a conflict
   with existing range, while kernel reports success to userspace.
2) update selftest to cover this bug.
3) synproxy update path should use READ/WRITE once as we replace
   config struct while packet path might read it in parallel.
   This relies on said config struct to fit sizeof(long).
   From Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
4) Don't return -EEXIST from xtables in module load path, a pending
   patch to module infra will spot a warning if this happens.
   From Daniel Gomez.
5) Fix a memory leak in nf_tables when chain hits 2**32 users
   and rule is to be hw-offloaded, from Zilin Guan.
6) Avoid infinite list growth when insert rate is high in nf_conncount,

3128df6be1 bridge: fix C-VLAN preservation in 802.1ad vlan_tunnel egress
When using an 802.1ad bridge with vlan_tunnel, the C-VLAN tag is
incorrectly stripped from frames during egress processing.

br_handle_egress_vlan_tunnel() uses skb_vlan_pop() to remove the S-VLAN
from hwaccel before VXLAN encapsulation. However, skb_vlan_pop() also
moves any "next" VLAN from the payload into hwaccel:

    /* move next vlan tag to hw accel tag */
    __skb_vlan_pop(skb, &vlan_tci);
    __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan_proto, vlan_tci);

For QinQ frames where the C-VLAN sits in the payload, this moves it to
hwaccel where it gets lost during VXLAN encapsulation.

Fix by calling __vlan_hwaccel_clear_tag() directly, which clears only
the hwaccel S-VLAN and leaves the payload untouched.

This path is only taken when vlan_tunnel is enabled and tunnel_info
is configured, so 802.1Q bridges are unaffected.

Tested with 802.1ad bridge + VXLAN vlan_tunnel, verified C-VLAN
preserved in VXLAN payload via tcpdump.

2bafeb8d2f netfilter: replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY
The -EEXIST error code is reserved by the module loading infrastructure
to indicate that a module is already loaded. When a module's init
function returns -EEXIST, userspace tools like kmod interpret this as
"module already loaded" and treat the operation as successful, returning
0 to the user even though the module initialization actually failed.

Replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY to ensure correct error reporting in the module
initialization path.

8dca36978a net: bridge: fix use-after-free due to MST port state bypass
syzbot reported[1] a use-after-free when deleting an expired fdb. It is
due to a race condition between learning still happening and a port being
deleted, after all its fdbs have been flushed. The port's state has been
toggled to disabled so no learning should happen at that time, but if we
have MST enabled, it will bypass the port's state, that together with VLAN
filtering disabled can lead to fdb learning at a time when it shouldn't
happen while the port is being deleted. VLAN filtering must be disabled
because we flush the port VLANs when it's being deleted which will stop
learning. This fix adds a check for the port's vlan group which is
initialized to NULL when the port is getting deleted, that avoids the port
state bypass. When MST is enabled there would be a minimal new overhead
in the fast-path because the port's vlan group pointer is cache-hot.

68800bbf58 net: bridge: Flush multicast groups when snooping is disabled
When forwarding multicast packets, the bridge takes MDB into account when
IGMP / MLD snooping is enabled. Currently, when snooping is disabled, the
MDB is retained, even though it is not used anymore.

At the same time, during the time that snooping is disabled, the IGMP / MLD
control packets are obviously ignored, and after the snooping is reenabled,
the administrator has to assume it is out of sync. In particular, missed
join and leave messages would lead to traffic being forwarded to wrong
interfaces.

Keeping the MDB entries around thus serves no purpose, and just takes
memory. Note also that disabling per-VLAN snooping does actually flush the
relevant MDB entries.

This patch flushes non-permanent MDB entries as global snooping is
disabled.

now expose additional features, depending on the lowers capabilities.

Since br_set_gso_limits() is already covered by the helper, it can be
removed safely.

Bridge has it's own way to update needed_headroom. So we don't need to

cd9a9562b2 net: bridge: Install FDB for bridge MAC on VLAN 0
Currently, after the bridge is created, the FDB does not hold an FDB entry
for the bridge MAC on VLAN 0:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge
 # ip -br link show dev br
 br               UNKNOWN        92:19:8c:4e:01:ed <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
 # bridge fdb show | grep 92:19:8c:4e:01:ed
 92:19:8c:4e:01:ed dev br vlan 1 master br permanent

Later when the bridge MAC is changed, or in fact when the address is given
during netdevice creation, the entry appears:

 # ip link add name br up address 00:11:22:33:44:55 type bridge
 # bridge fdb show | grep 00:11:22:33:44:55
 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev br vlan 1 master br permanent
 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev br master br permanent

However when the bridge address is set by the user to the current bridge
address before the first port is enslaved, none of the address handlers
gets invoked, because the address is not actually changed. The address is
however marked as NET_ADDR_SET. Then when a port is enslaved, the address
is not changed, because it is NET_ADDR_SET. Thus the VLAN 0 entry is not
added, and it has not been added previously either:

Then when the bridge MAC is used as DMAC, and br_handle_frame_finish()
looks up an FDB entry with VLAN=0, it doesn't find any, and floods the
traffic instead of passing it up.

Fix this by simply adding the VLAN 0 FDB entry for the bridge itself always
on netdevice creation. This also makes the behavior consistent with how
ports are treated: ports always have an FDB entry for each member VLAN as
well as VLAN 0.

5fd8bb982e net: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.

This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce
locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required.

Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used.

The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

When BROPT_FDB_LOCAL_VLAN_0 is enabled, the local FDB entries for the

That means that br_handle_frame_finish() needs to make two lookups: the

Have the second lookup only accept local MAC addresses. Turning this into a

To solve the hash conflict, nf_ct_resolve_clash() try to merge the
conntracks, and update skb->_nfct. However, br_nf_local_in() still use the
old ct from local variable 'nfct' after confirm(), which leads to this
warning.

If confirm() does not insert the conntrack entry and return NF_DROP, the
warning may also occur. There is no need to reserve the WARN_ON_ONCE, just
remove it.

3d05b24429 bridge: Redirect to backup port when port is administratively down
If a backup port is configured for a bridge port, the bridge will
redirect known unicast traffic towards the backup port when the primary
port is administratively up but without a carrier. This is useful, for
example, in MLAG configurations where a system is connected to two
switches and there is a peer link between both switches. The peer link
serves as the backup port in case one of the switches loses its
connection to the multi-homed system.

In order to avoid flooding when the primary port loses its carrier, the
bridge does not flush dynamic FDB entries pointing to the port upon STP
disablement, if the port has a backup port.

The above means that known unicast traffic destined to the primary port
will be blackholed when the port is put administratively down, until the
FDB entries pointing to it are aged-out.

Given that the current behavior is quite weird and unlikely to be
depended on by anyone, amend the bridge to redirect to the backup port
also when the primary port is administratively down and not only when it
does not have a carrier.

The change is motivated by a report from a user who expected traffic to
be redirected to the backup port when the primary port was put
administratively down while debugging a network issue.

  - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX.
 
  - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK.
 
  - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP.
 
  - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface.

    window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
    aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB.
 
  - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
    improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users.
 
  - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque.

  - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code.
 
  - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
    instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel NAPI
    thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread would stick
    around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization.
 
  - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets.
 
  - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing.
 
  - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling.
 
  - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink.
 
  - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
    responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
    where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
    across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed.
 
  - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries.
 
  - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM.
 
  - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister netconsole's
    console when all net targets are removed. Code refactoring.
    Add a number of selftests.
 
  - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
    should be used for an inbound SA lookup.
 
  - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS.
 
  - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
    Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links.
 
  - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch.
 
  - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack.
 
  - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer.
 
  - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT.

9fce66583f netfilter: Exclude LEGACY TABLES on PREEMPT_RT.
The seqcount xt_recseq is used to synchronize the replacement of
xt_table::private in xt_replace_table() against all readers such as
ipt_do_table()

To ensure that there is only one writer, the writing side disables
bottom halves. The sequence counter can be acquired recursively. Only the
first invocation modifies the sequence counter (signaling that a writer
is in progress) while the following (recursive) writer does not modify
the counter.
The lack of a proper locking mechanism for the sequence counter can lead
to live lock on PREEMPT_RT if the high prior reader preempts the
writer. Additionally if the per-CPU lock on PREEMPT_RT is removed from
local_bh_disable() then there is no synchronisation for the per-CPU
sequence counter.

The affected code is "just" the legacy netfilter code which is replaced
by "netfilter tables". That code can be disabled without sacrificing
functionality because everything is provided by the newer
implementation. This will only requires the usage of the "-nft" tools
instead of the "-legacy" ones.
The long term plan is to remove the legacy code so lets accelerate the
progress.

Relax dependencies on iptables legacy, replace select with depends on,
this should cause no harm to existing kernel configs and users can still
toggle IP{6}_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY in any case.
Make EBTABLES_LEGACY, IPTABLES_LEGACY and ARPTABLES depend on
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Hide xt_recseq and its users,
xt_register_table() and xt_percpu_counter_alloc() behind
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Let NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY depend on
!PREEMPT_RT.

This will break selftest expecing the legacy options enabled and will be
addressed in a following patch.
