      net: bridge: add helper to retrieve the current ageing time · f1d42ea1
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      The SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_AGEING_TIME attribute is only emitted from:

sysfs/ioctl/netlink
-> br_set_ageing_time
   -> __set_ageing_time

therefore not at bridge port creation time, so:
(a) switchdev drivers have to hardcode the initial value for the address
    ageing time, because they didn't get any notification
(b) that hardcoded value can be out of sync, if the user changes the
    ageing time before enslaving the port to the bridge

We need a helper in the bridge, such that switchdev drivers can query
the current value of the bridge ageing time when they start offloading
it.

      net: bridge: add helper for retrieving the current bridge port STP state · c0e715bb
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      It may happen that we have the following topology with DSA or any other
switchdev driver with LAG offload:

ip link add br0 type bridge stp_state 1
ip link add bond0 type bond
ip link set bond0 master br0
ip link set swp0 master bond0
ip link set swp1 master bond0

STP decides that it should put bond0 into the BLOCKING state, and
that's that. The ports that are actively listening for the switchdev
port attributes emitted for the bond0 bridge port (because they are
offloading it) and have the honor of seeing that switchdev port
attribute can react to it, so we can program swp0 and swp1 into the
BLOCKING state.

But if then we do:

ip link set swp2 master bond0

then as far as the bridge is concerned, nothing has changed: it still
has one bridge port. But this new bridge port will not see any STP state
change notification and will remain FORWARDING, which is how the
standalone code leaves it in.

We need a function in the bridge driver which retrieves the current STP
state, such that drivers can synchronize to it when they may have missed
switchdev events.

      net: lapb: Make "lapb_t1timer_running" able to detect an already running timer · 65d2dbb3
      Xie He authored 
      Problem:

The "lapb_t1timer_running" function in "lapb_timer.c" is used in only
one place: in the "lapb_kick" function in "lapb_out.c". "lapb_kick" calls
"lapb_t1timer_running" to check if the timer is already pending, and if
it is not, schedule it to run.

However, if the timer has already fired and is running, and is waiting to
get the "lapb->lock" lock, "lapb_t1timer_running" will not detect this,
and "lapb_kick" will then schedule a new timer. The old timer will then
abort when it sees a new timer pending.

I think this is not right. The purpose of "lapb_kick" should be ensuring
that the actual work of the timer function is scheduled to be done.
If the timer function is already running but waiting for the lock,
"lapb_kick" should not abort and reschedule it.

Changes made:

I added a new field "t1timer_running" in "struct lapb_cb" for
"lapb_t1timer_running" to use. "t1timer_running" will accurately reflect
whether the actual work of the timer is pending. If the timer has fired
but is still waiting for the lock, "t1timer_running" will still correctly
reflect whether the actual work is waiting to be done.

The old "t1timer_stop" field, whose only responsibility is to ask a timer
(that is already running but waiting for the lock) to abort, is no longer
needed, because the new "t1timer_running" field can fully take over its
responsibility. Therefore "t1timer_stop" is deleted.

"t1timer_running" is not simply a negation of the old "t1timer_stop".
At the end of the timer function, if it does not reschedule itself,
"t1timer_running" is set to false to indicate that the timer is stopped.

For consistency of the code, I also added "t2timer_running" and deleted
"t2timer_stop".

2) fall-through warnings for clang, from Gustavo A. R. Silva

3) Remove unused declaration in conntrack, from YueHaibing.

4) Consolidate skb_try_make_writable() in flowtable datapath,
   simplify some of the existing codebase.

5) Call dst_check() to fall back to static classic forwarding path.

6) Update table flags from commit phase.
