Merge branch 'net-support-stp-on-bridge-in-non-root-netns'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says: ==================== net: Support STP on bridge in non-root netns. Currently, STP does not work in non-root netns as llc_rcv() drops packets from non-root netns. This series fixes it by making some protocol handlers netns-aware, which are called from llc_rcv() as follows: llc_rcv() | |- sap->rcv_func : registered by llc_sap_open() | | * functions : regsitered by register_8022_client() | -> No in-kernel user call register_8022_client() | | * snap_rcv() | | | `- proto->rcvfunc() : registered by register_snap_client() | | * aarp_rcv() : drop packets from non-root netns | * atalk_rcv() : drop packets from non-root netns | | * stp_pdu_rcv() | | | `- garp_protos[]->rcv() : registered by stp_proto_register() | | * garp_pdu_rcv() : netns-aware | * br_stp_rcv() : netns-aware | |- llc_type_handlers[llc_pdu_type(skb) - 1] | | * llc_sap_handler() : NOT netns-aware (Patch 1) | * llc_conn_handler() : NOT netns-aware (Patch 2) | `- llc_station_handler * llc_station_rcv() : netns-aware Patch 1 & 2 convert not-netns-aware functions and Patch 3 remove the netns restriction in llc_rcv(). Note this series does not namespacify AF_LLC so that these patches can be backported to stable without conflicts (at least to 4.14.y). Another series that adds netns support for AF_LLC will be targeted to net-next later. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230718174152.57408-1-kuniyu@amazon.comSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
