net: bridge: fix early call to br_stp_change_bridge_id and plug newlink leaks

The early call to br_stp_change_bridge_id in bridge's newlink can cause
a memory leak if an error occurs during the newlink because the fdb
entries are not cleaned up if a different lladdr was specified, also
another minor issue is that it generates fdb notifications with
ifindex = 0. Another unrelated memory leak is the bridge sysfs entries
which get added on NETDEV_REGISTER event, but are not cleaned up in the
newlink error path. To remove this special case the call to
br_stp_change_bridge_id is done after netdev register and we cleanup the
bridge on changelink error via br_dev_delete to plug all leaks.

This patch makes netlink bridge destruction on newlink error the same as
dellink and ioctl del which is necessary since at that point we have a
fully initialized bridge device.

To reproduce the issue:
$ ip l add br0 address 00:11:22:33:44:55 type bridge group_fwd_mask 1

net: bridge: add notifications for the bridge dev on vlan change

Currently the bridge device doesn't generate any notifications upon vlan
modifications on itself because it doesn't use the generic bridge
notifications.
With the recent changes we know if anything was modified in the vlan config
thus we can generate a notification when necessary for the bridge device
so add support to br_ifinfo_notify() similar to how other combined
functions are done - if port is present it takes precedence, otherwise
notify about the bridge. I've explicitly marked the locations where the
notification should be always for the port by setting bridge to NULL.
I've also taken the liberty to rearrange each modified function's local
variables in reverse xmas tree as well.

bridge: vlan: signal if anything changed on vlan add

Before this patch there was no way to tell if the vlan add operation
actually changed anything, thus we would always generate a notification
on adds. Let's make the notifications more precise and generate them
only if anything changed, so use the new bool parameter to signal that the
vlan was updated. We cannot return an error because there are valid use
cases that will be broken (e.g. overlapping range add) and also we can't
risk masking errors due to calls into drivers for vlan add which can
potentially return anything.

Before this patch we had cases that either sent notifications when there
were in fact no changes (e.g. non-existent vlan delete) or didn't send
notifications when there were changes (e.g. vlan add range with an error in
the middle, port flags change + vlan update error). This patch sends down
a boolean to the functions setlink/dellink use and if there is even a
single configuration change (port flag, vlan add/del, port state) then
we always send a notification. This is all done to keep backwards
compatibility with the opportunistic vlan delete, where one could
specify a vlan range that has missing vlans inside and still everything
in that range will be cleared, this is mostly used to clear the whole
vlan config with a single call, i.e. range 1-4094.

bridge: add new BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS port flag to suppress arp and nd flood

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.

net: bridge: add per-port group_fwd_mask with less restrictions

We need to be able to transparently forward most link-local frames via
tunnels (e.g. vxlan, qinq). Currently the bridge's group_fwd_mask has a
mask which restricts the forwarding of STP and LACP, but we need to be able
to forward these over tunnels and control that forwarding on a per-port
basis thus add a new per-port group_fwd_mask option which only disallows
mac pause frames to be forwarded (they're always dropped anyway).
The patch does not change the current default situation - all of the others
are still restricted unless configured for forwarding.
We have successfully tested this patch with LACP and STP forwarding over
VxLAN and qinq tunnels.

Currently, upon enslavement to a bridge master, the offloading driver
will only learn about the bridge's VLAN filtering state after the bridge
device was already linked with its slave.

Being able to query the bridge's VLAN filtering state allows such
drivers to forbid enslavement in case resource couldn't be allocated for
a VLAN-aware bridge and also choose the correct initialization routine
for the enslaved port, which is dependent on the bridge type.

But as broadcast is a special case of multicast, this may also need to

of received l2 broadcasts. This approach is backwards compatible and
provides flexibility in filtering for the desired packet types.

The problem is that the bridge's VLAN group is created after setting the
default PVID, when registering the netdevice and executing its
ndo_init().

Fix this by changing the order of both operations, so that
br_changelink() is only processed after the netdevice is registered,
when the VLAN group is already initialized.

- Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data
- netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping
- Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach
dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default.
- changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan
handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code
- I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files.
- most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid
ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space
vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable.

Use case:
example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep
which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis).

iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show
relevant fdb entries):
example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and
vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001

before (netdev per vni):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self

after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self

bridge: multicast to unicast

Implements an optional, per bridge port flag and feature to deliver
multicast packets to any host on the according port via unicast
individually. This is done by copying the packet per host and
changing the multicast destination MAC to a unicast one accordingly.

multicast-to-unicast works on top of the multicast snooping feature of
the bridge. Which means unicast copies are only delivered to hosts which
are interested in it and signalized this via IGMP/MLD reports
previously.

This feature is intended for interface types which have a more reliable
and/or efficient way to deliver unicast packets than broadcast ones
(e.g. wifi).

However, it should only be enabled on interfaces where no IGMPv2/MLDv1
report suppression takes place. This feature is disabled by default.

The initial patch and idea is from Felix Fietkau.
