Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: multicast: add initial EHT support This set adds explicit host tracking support for IGMPv3/MLDv2. The already present per-port fast leave flag is used to enable it since that is the primary goal of EHT, to track a group and its S,Gs usage per-host and when left without any interested hosts delete them before the standard timers. The EHT code is pretty self-contained and not enabled by default. There is no new uAPI added, all of the functionality is currently hidden behind the fast leave flag. In the future that will change (more below). The host tracking uses two new sets per port group: one having an entry for each host which contains that host's view of the group (source list and filter mode), and one set which contains an entry for each source having an internal set which contains an entry for each host that has reported an interest for that source. RB trees are used for all sets so they're compact when not used and fast when we need to do lookups. To illustrate it: [ bridge port group ] ` [ host set (rb) ] ` [ host entry with a list of sources and filter mode ] ` [ source set (rb) ] ` [ source entry ] ` [ source host set (rb) ] ` [ source host entry with a timer ] The number of tracked sources per host is limited to the maximum total number of S,G entries per port group - PG_SRC_ENT_LIMIT (currently 32). The number of hosts is unlimited, I think the argument that a local attacker can exhaust the memory/cause high CPU usage can be applied to fdb entries as well which are unlimited. In the future if needed we can add an option to limit these, but I don't think it's necessary for a start. All of the new sets are protected by the bridge's multicast lock. I'm pretty sure we'll be changing the cases and improving the convergence time in the future, but this seems like a good start. Patch breakdown: patch 1 - 4: minor cleanups and preparations for EHT patch 5: adds the new structures which will be used in the following patches patch 6: adds support to create, destroy and lookup host entries patch 7: adds support to create, delete and lokup source set entries patch 8: adds a host "delete" function which is just a host's source list flush since that would automatically delete the host patch 9 - 10: add support for handling all IGMPv3/MLDv2 report types more information can be found in the individual patches patch 11: optmizes a specific TO_INCLUDE use-case with host timeouts patch 12: handles per-host filter mode changing (include <-> exclude) patch 13: pulls out block group deletion since now it can be deleted in both filter modes patch 14: marks deletions done due to fast leave Future plans: - export host information - add an option to reduce queries - add an option to limit the number of host entries - tune more fast leave cases for quicker convergence By the way I think this is the first open-source EHT implementation, I couldn't find any while researching it. :) ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210120145203.1109140-1-razor@blackwall.orgSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
