2026-04-10net: bridge: add stp_mode attribute for STP mode selectionAndy Roulin-8/+38
The bridge-stp usermode helper is currently restricted to the initial network namespace, preventing userspace STP daemons (e.g. mstpd) from operating on bridges in other network namespaces. Since commit ff62198553e4 ("bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace"), bridges in non-init namespaces silently fall back to kernel STP with no way to use userspace STP. Add a new bridge attribute IFLA_BR_STP_MODE that allows explicit per-bridge control over STP mode selection: BR_STP_MODE_AUTO (default) - Existing behavior: invoke the /sbin/bridge-stp helper in init_net only; fall back to kernel STP if it fails or in non-init namespaces. BR_STP_MODE_USER - Directly enable userspace STP (BR_USER_STP) without invoking the helper. Works in any network namespace. Userspace is responsible for ensuring an STP daemon manages the bridge. BR_STP_MODE_KERNEL - Directly enable kernel STP (BR_KERNEL_STP) without invoking the helper. The mode can only be changed while STP is disabled, or set to the same value (-EBUSY otherwise). IFLA_BR_STP_MODE is processed before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE in br_changelink(), so both can be set atomically in a single netlink message. The mode can also be changed in the same message that disables STP. The stp_mode struct field is u8 since all possible values fit, while NLA_U32 is used for the netlink attribute since it occupies the same space in the netlink message as NLA_U8. A new stp_helper_active boolean tracks whether the /sbin/bridge-stp helper was invoked during br_stp_start(), so that br_stp_stop() only calls the helper for stop when it was called for start. This avoids calling the helper asymmetrically when stp_mode changes between start and stop.

2026-04-03bridge: guard local VLAN-0 FDB helpers against NULL vlan groupZijing Yin-0/+6
When CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING is not set, br_vlan_group() and nbp_vlan_group() return NULL (br_private.h stub definitions). The BR_BOOLOPT_FDB_LOCAL_VLAN_0 toggle code is compiled unconditionally and reaches br_fdb_delete_locals_per_vlan_port() and br_fdb_insert_locals_per_vlan_port(), where the NULL vlan group pointer is dereferenced via list_for_each_entry(v, &vg->vlan_list, vlist). The observed crash is in the delete path, triggered when creating a bridge with IFLA_BR_MULTI_BOOLOPT containing BR_BOOLOPT_FDB_LOCAL_VLAN_0 via RTM_NEWLINK. The insert helper has the same bug pattern.

2026-03-31bridge: mrp: reject zero test interval to avoid OOM panicXiang Mei-2/+2
br_mrp_start_test() and br_mrp_start_in_test() accept the user-supplied interval value from netlink without validation. When interval is 0, usecs_to_jiffies(0) yields 0, causing the delayed work (br_mrp_test_work_expired / br_mrp_in_test_work_expired) to reschedule itself with zero delay. This creates a tight loop on system_percpu_wq that allocates and transmits MRP test frames at maximum rate, exhausting all system memory and causing a kernel panic via OOM deadlock. The same zero-interval issue applies to br_mrp_start_in_test_parse() for interconnect test frames. Use NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_U32, 1) in the nla_policy tables for both IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST_INTERVAL and IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_IN_TEST_INTERVAL, so zero is rejected at the netlink attribute parsing layer before the value ever reaches the workqueue scheduling code. This is consistent with how other bridge subsystems (br_fdb, br_mst) enforce range constraints on netlink attributes.

2026-03-29ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up KconfigsFernando Fernandez Mancera-1/+0
Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore, drop it. Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR() and MODULE_LICENSE(). This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race condition on IPv6 addrconf. Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements and recommendations [1].

br_nd_send() parses neighbour discovery options from ns->opt[] and assumes that these options are in the linear part of request. Its callers only guarantee that the ICMPv6 header and target address are available, so the option area can still be non-linear. Parsing ns->opt[] in that case can access data past the linear buffer.

2026-03-12bridge: cfm: Fix race condition in peer_mep deletionHyunwoo Kim-2/+2
When a peer MEP is being deleted, cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called on ccm_rx_dwork before freeing. However, br_cfm_frame_rx() runs in softirq context under rcu_read_lock (without RTNL) and can re-schedule ccm_rx_dwork via ccm_rx_timer_start() between cancel_delayed_work_sync() returning and kfree_rcu() being called. The following is a simple race scenario: cpu0 cpu1 mep_delete_implementation() cancel_delayed_work_sync(ccm_rx_dwork); br_cfm_frame_rx() // peer_mep still in hlist if (peer_mep->ccm_defect) ccm_rx_timer_start() queue_delayed_work(ccm_rx_dwork) hlist_del_rcu(&peer_mep->head); kfree_rcu(peer_mep, rcu); ccm_rx_work_expired() // on freed peer_mep To prevent this, cancel_delayed_work_sync() is replaced with disable_delayed_work_sync() in both peer MEP deletion paths, so that subsequent queue_delayed_work() calls from br_cfm_frame_rx() are silently rejected. The cc_peer_disable() helper retains cancel_delayed_work_sync() because it is also used for the CC enable/disable toggle path where the work must remain re-schedulable.

2026-02-26bridge: Check relevant per-VLAN options in VLAN range groupingDanielle Ratson-3/+33
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.

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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

2026-02-17net: bridge: mcast: always update mdb_n_entries for vlan contextsNikolay Aleksandrov-27/+18
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.

2026-02-06net/ipv6: Introduce payload_len helpersAlice Mikityanska-3/+3
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.

2026-01-04bridge: fix C-VLAN preservation in 802.1ad vlan_tunnel egressAlexandre Knecht-4/+7
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.

2025-11-06net: bridge: fix MST static key usageNikolay Aleksandrov-2/+14
As Ido pointed out, the static key usage in MST is buggy and should use inc/dec instead of enable/disable because we can have multiple bridges with MST enabled which means a single bridge can disable MST for all. Use static_branch_inc/dec to avoid that. When destroying a bridge decrement the key if MST was enabled.

2025-11-06net: bridge: fix use-after-free due to MST port state bypassNikolay Aleksandrov-6/+8
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.

2025-10-27net: bridge: Flush multicast groups when snooping is disabledPetr Machata-0/+9
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.

Previously, bridge ignored all features propagation and DST retention, only handling explicitly the GSO limits. By switching to the new helper netdev_compute_master_upper_features(), the bridge 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 update it in the helper.

2025-09-23net: bridge: Install FDB for bridge MAC on VLAN 0Petr Machata-0/+5
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: # ip link add name br up type bridge # ip -br link show dev br br UNKNOWN 7e:f0:a8:1a:be:c2 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> # ip link set dev br addr 7e:f0:a8:1a:be:c2 # ip link add name v up type veth # ip link set dev v master br # ip -br link show dev br br UNKNOWN 7e:f0:a8:1a:be:c2 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> # bridge fdb | grep 7e:f0:a8:1a:be:c2 7e:f0:a8:1a:be:c2 dev br vlan 1 master br permanent 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.

2025-09-22net: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wqMarco Crivellari-7/+7
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.
