similar to: [Bridge] [PATCH] Fix deadlock in br_stp_disable_bridge (2nd try)

Looks like somebody forgot to use the _bh spin_lock variant. We ran into a deadlock where br->hello_timer expired while br_stp_disable_br() walked br->port_list. Anush can provide you with a test program.

This patch adds a 'hairpin' (also called 'reflective relay') mode port configuration to the Linux Ethernet bridge kernel module. A bridge supporting hairpin forwarding mode can send frames back out through the port the frame was received on. Hairpin mode is required to support basic VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator) capabilities. You can find additional information on VEPA

From: Evgeny Kravtsunov <emkravts@openvz.org> compare_ether_addr() implicitly requires that the addresses passed are 2-bytes aligned in memory. This is not true for br_stp_change_bridge_id() and br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in which one of the addresses is unsigned char *, and thus may not be 2-bytes aligned.

Currently we would still potentially suffer multicast packet loss if there is just either an IGMP or an MLD querier: For the former case, we would possibly drop IPv6 multicast packets, for the latter IPv4 ones. This is because we are currently assuming that if either an IGMP or MLD querier is present that the other one is present, too. This patch makes the behaviour and fix added in "bridge:

Convert the bridge forwarding database over to using RCU. This avoids a read_lock and atomic_inc/dec in the fast path of output.

Hi I'm looking for code that implements the 802.1d spanning tree. Do you have an idea where can I download this code?

Hi, I am trying to categorize the network traffic and to send it out across two different providers. For this I mark the packets in the firewall (in the PREROUTING chain of table mangle), and then use another routing table for the marked packets, which has a different gateway from the main routing table. Basicaly I am following the cookbook example in this page:
