H A Dbr_input.ca5642ab4 Fri Feb 07 01:48:18 CST 2014 Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@lab.ntt.co.jp> bridge: Fix the way to find old local fdb entries in br_fdb_changeaddr

br_fdb_changeaddr() assumes that there is at most one local entry per port
per vlan. It used to be true, but since commit 36fd2b63e3b4 ("bridge: allow
creating/deleting fdb entries via netlink"), it has not been so.
Therefore, the function might fail to search a correct previous address
to be deleted and delete an arbitrary local entry if user has added local
entries manually.

Example of problematic case:
ip link set eth0 address ee:ff:12:34:56:78
brctl addif br0 eth0
bridge fdb add 12:34:56:78:90:ab dev eth0 master
ip link set eth0 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
Then, the address 12:34:56:78:90:ab might be deleted instead of
ee:ff:12:34:56:78, the original mac address of eth0.

Address this issue by introducing a new flag, added_by_user, to struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry.

Note that br_fdb_delete_by_port() has to set added_by_user to 0 in cases
like:
ip link set eth0 address 12:34:56:78:90:ab
ip link set eth1 address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
brctl addif br0 eth0
bridge fdb add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff dev eth0 master
brctl addif br0 eth1
brctl delif br0 eth0
In this case, kernel should delete the user-added entry aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,
but it also should have been added by "brctl addif br0 eth1" originally,
so we don't delete it and treat it a new kernel-created entry.
