Linux kernel source tree
b57e8d870d
The MDB maintained by the bridge is limited. When the bridge is configured for IGMP / MLD snooping, a buggy or malicious client can easily exhaust its capacity. In SW datapath, the capacity is configurable through the IFLA_BR_MCAST_HASH_MAX parameter, but ultimately is finite. Obviously a similar limit exists in the HW datapath for purposes of offloading. In order to prevent the issue of unilateral exhaustion of MDB resources, introduce two parameters in each of two contexts: - Per-port and per-port-VLAN number of MDB entries that the port is member in. - Per-port and (when BROPT_MCAST_VLAN_SNOOPING_ENABLED is enabled) per-port-VLAN maximum permitted number of MDB entries, or 0 for no limit. The per-port multicast context is used for tracking of MDB entries for the port as a whole. This is available for all bridges. The per-port-VLAN multicast context is then only available on VLAN-filtering bridges on VLANs that have multicast snooping on. With these changes in place, it will be possible to configure MDB limit for bridge as a whole, or any one port as a whole, or any single port-VLAN. Note that unlike the global limit, exhaustion of the per-port and per-port-VLAN maximums does not cause disablement of multicast snooping. It is also permitted to configure the local limit larger than hash_max, even though that is not useful. In this patch, introduce only the accounting for number of entries, and the max field itself, but not the means to toggle the max. The next patch introduces the netlink APIs to toggle and read the values.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
