29e498ff18 net: bridge: when suppression is enabled exclude RARP packets
[ 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"

de9d1010b9 bridge: Avoid infinite loop when suppressing NS messages with invalid options
[ 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].

f12064d1b4 bridge: reduce size of input cb to 16 bytes
Reduce size of br_input_skb_cb from 24 to 16 bytes by
using bitfield for those values that can only be 0 or 1.

igmp is the igmp type value, so it needs to be at least u8.

Furthermore, the bridge currently relies on step-by-step initialization
of br_input_skb_cb fields as the skb passes through the stack.

Explicitly zero out the bridge input cb instead, this avoids having to
review/validate that no BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->foo test can see a
'random' value from previous protocol cb.

AFAICS all current fields are always set up before they are read again,
so this is not a bug fix.

3616d08bcb ipv6: Move ipv6 stubs to a separate header file
The number of stubs is growing and has nothing to do with addrconf.
Move the definition of the stubs to a separate header file and update
users. In the move, drop the vxlan specific comment before ipv6_stub.

Code move only; no functional change intended.

821f1b21ca 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.
