2021-05-22net: bridge: when suppression is enabled exclude RARP packetsNikolay Aleksandrov
[ Upstream commit 0353b4a96b7a9f60fe20d1b3ebd4931a4085f91c ] Recently we had an interop issue where RARP packets got suppressed with bridge neigh suppression enabled, but the check in the code was meant to suppress GARP. Exclude RARP packets from it which would allow some VMWare setups to work, to quote the report: "Those RARP packets usually get generated by vMware to notify physical switches when vMotion occurs. vMware may use random sip/tip or just use sip=tip=0. So the RARP packet sometimes get properly flooded by the vtep and other times get dropped by the logic" Reported-by: Amer Abdalamer <amer@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-06-22bridge: Avoid infinite loop when suppressing NS messages with invalid optionsIdo Schimmel
[ Upstream commit 53fc685243bd6fb90d90305cea54598b78d3cbfc ] When neighbor suppression is enabled the bridge device might reply to Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages on behalf of remote hosts. In case the NS message includes the "Source link-layer address" option [1], the bridge device will use the specified address as the link-layer destination address in its reply. To avoid an infinite loop, break out of the options parsing loop when encountering an option with length zero and disregard the NS message. This is consistent with the IPv6 ndisc code and RFC 4886 which states that "Nodes MUST silently discard an ND packet that contains an option with length zero" [2].

This patch avoids flooding and proxies ndisc packets for BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-10-08bridge: suppress arp pkts on BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS portsRoopa Prabhu
This patch avoids flooding and proxies arp packets for BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports. Moves existing br_do_proxy_arp to br_do_proxy_suppress_arp to support both proxy arp and neigh suppress. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-10-08bridge: add new BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS port flag to suppress arp and nd floodRoopa Prabhu
This patch adds a new bridge port flag BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS to suppress arp and nd flood on bridge ports. It implements rfc7432, section 10. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10 for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing BR_PROXYARP* flags but has a few semantic differences to conform to EVPN standard. Unlike the existing flags, this new flag suppresses flood of all neigh discovery packets (arp and nd) to tunnel ports. Supports both vlan filtering and non-vlan filtering bridges. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding of arp and nd packets to tunnel ports like vxlan. This patch adds netlink and sysfs support to set this bridge port flag.
