Subject: [Bridge] [PATCH v2 net] bridge: Add extack warning when enabling STP in netns.
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2023 08:44:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230712154449.6093-1-kuniyu@amazon.com> (raw)

When we create an L2 loop on a bridge in netns, we will see packets storm
even if STP is enabled.

  # unshare -n
  # ip link add br0 type bridge
  # ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
  # ip link set veth0 master br0 up
  # ip link set veth1 master br0 up
  # ip link set br0 type bridge stp_state 1
  # ip link set br0 up
  # sleep 30
  # ip -s link show br0
  2: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/ether b6:61:98:1c:1c:b5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

This is because llc_rcv() drops all packets in non-root netns and BPDU
is dropped.

Let's add extack warning when enabling STP in netns.

  # unshare -n
  # ip link add br0 type bridge
  # ip link set br0 type bridge stp_state 1
  Warning: bridge: STP does not work in non-root netns.

Note this commit will be reverted later when we namespacify the whole LLC
infra.

v2:
  - Just add extack instead of returning error (Ido Schimmel)
