Because LLC wasn't complicated/annoying enough, there's 2 more
"ethertypes" being used for it:
- 0x8870 is pretty "normal", it got standardized in
802.1AC-2016/Cor1-2018 for transporting LLC frames > 1500 bytes.
It simply replaces the length value (which is no longer encoded, and
must now be derived from the packet.) The actual value dates back to
2001; https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-isis-ext-eth-01
(it was used without "proper" standardization for a long time)
- 0x00fe is a doozy - actually "invalid" depending on how you look at
it; it's used in GRE (and possibly GENEVE) tunnels to transport the
IS-IS routing protocol. https://seclists.org/tcpdump/2002/q4/61 is
the best/oldest source I could find. It's inspired by the 0xfe SAP
value, a GRE packet with protocol 0x00fe is followed by a payload "as
if" it was Ethernet with "<length> 0xfe 0xfe 0x03". (Again the length
isn't encoded explicitly anymore.)
The 0x00fe value is quite close to other values the kernel is using
internally for various things (after all they "won't clash for 1500
types"). Except this one does clash, and if someone unknowingly starts
using it for something internal... we end up in a world of pain in
getting IS-IS running on GRE tunnels. Hence the "WARNING".

The NXP NETC switch tag is a proprietary header added to frames after the
source MAC address. The switch tag has 3 types, and each type has 1 ~ 4
subtypes, the details are as follows.
Forward NXP switch tag (Type=0): Represents forwarded frames.
- SubType = 0 - Normal frame processing.
To_Port NXP switch tag (Type=1): Represents frames that are to be sent
to a specific switch port.
- SubType = 0. No request to perform timestamping.
- SubType = 1. Request to perform one-step timestamping.
- SubType = 2. Request to perform two-step timestamping.
- SubType = 3. Request to perform both one-step timestamping and
two-step timestamping.
To_Host NXP switch tag (Type=2): Represents frames redirected or copied
to the switch management port.
- SubType = 0. Received frames redirected or copied to the switch
management port.
- SubType = 1. Received frames redirected or copied to the switch
management port with captured timestamp at the switch port where
the frame was received.
- SubType = 2. Transmit timestamp response (two-step timestamping).
In addition, the length of different type switch tag is different, the
minimum length is 6 bytes, the maximum length is 14 bytes. Currently,
Forward tag, SubType 0 of To_Port tag and Subtype 0 of To_Host tag are
supported. More tags will be supported in the future.

Add new nested netlink attribute to configure the MRP. These attributes are used
by the userspace to add/delete/configure MRP instances and by the kernel to
notify the userspace when the MRP ring gets open/closed. MRP nested attribute
has the following attributes:
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_INSTANCE - the parameter type is br_mrp_instance which contains
the instance id, and the ifindex of the two ports. The ports can't be part of
multiple instances. This is used to create/delete MRP instances.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_STATE - the parameter type is u32. Which can be forwarding,
blocking or disabled.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_port_role which
contains the instance id and the role. The role can be primary or secondary.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_STATE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_state which
contains the instance id and the state. The state can be open or closed.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_role which
contains the instance id and the ring role. The role can be MRM or MRC.
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST - the parameter type is br_mrp_start_test which
contains the instance id, the interval at which to send the MRP_Test frames,
how many test frames can be missed before declaring the ring open and the
period which represent for how long to send the test frames.
Also add the file include/uapi/linux/mrp_bridge.h which defines all the types
used by MRP that are also needed by the userpace.

There are two possible utilizations so far:
- Switch devices that don't support a native insertion/extraction header
on the CPU port may still enjoy the benefits of port isolation with a
custom VLAN tag.
For this, they need to have a customizable TPID in hardware and a new
Ethertype to distinguish between real 802.1Q traffic and the private
tags used for port separation.
- Switches that don't support the deactivation of VLAN awareness, but
still want to have a mode in which they accept all traffic, including
frames that are tagged with a VLAN not configured on their ports, may
use this as a fake to trick the hardware into thinking that the TPID
for VLAN is something other than 0x8100.
What follows after the ETH_P_DSA_8021Q EtherType is a regular VLAN
header (TCI), however there is no other EtherType that can be used for
this purpose and doesn't already have a well-defined meaning.
ETH_P_8021AD, ETH_P_QINQ1, ETH_P_QINQ2 and ETH_P_QINQ3 expect that
another follow-up VLAN tag is present, which is not the case here.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f95
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init
stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

When we have a bridge with vlan_filtering on and a vlan device on top of
it, packets would be corrupted in skb_vlan_untag() called from
br_dev_xmit().
The problem sits in skb_reorder_vlan_header() used in skb_vlan_untag(),
which makes use of skb->mac_len. In this function mac_len is meant for
handling rx path with vlan devices with reorder_header disabled, but in
tx path mac_len is typically 0 and cannot be used, which is the problem
in this case.
The current code even does not properly handle rx path (skb_vlan_untag()
called from __netif_receive_skb_core()) with reorder_header off actually.
In rx path single tag case, it works as follows:
- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+-------------+------+----
| ETH | VLAN | ETH |
| ADDRS | TPID | TCI | TYPE |
+-------------------+-------------+------+----
<-------- mac_len --------->
<------------->
to be removed
- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+------+----
| ETH | ETH |
| ADDRS | TYPE |
+-------------------+------+----
<-------- mac_len --------->
This is ok, but in rx double tag case, it corrupts packets:
- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
| ETH | VLAN | VLAN | ETH |
| ADDRS | TPID | TCI | TPID | TCI | TYPE |
+-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
<--------------- mac_len ---------------->
<------------->
should be removed
<--------------------------->
actually will be removed
- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()
mac_header data
v v
+-------------------+------+----
| ETH | ETH |
| ADDRS | TYPE |
+-------------------+------+----
<--------------- mac_len ---------------->
So, two of vlan tags are both removed while only inner one should be
removed and mac_header (and mac_len) is broken.
skb_vlan_untag() is meant for removing the vlan header at (skb->data - 2),
so use skb->data and skb->mac_header to calculate the right offset.

This fixes a compile problem of some user space applications by not
including linux/libc-compat.h in uapi/if_ether.h.
linux/libc-compat.h checks which "features" the header files, included
from the libc, provide to make the Linux kernel uapi header files only
provide no conflicting structures and enums. If a user application mixes
kernel headers and libc headers it could happen that linux/libc-compat.h
gets included too early where not all other libc headers are included
yet. Then the linux/libc-compat.h would not prevent all the
redefinitions and we run into compile problems.
This patch removes the include of linux/libc-compat.h from
uapi/if_ether.h to fix the recently introduced case, but not all as this
is more or less impossible.
It is no problem to do the check directly in the if_ether.h file and not
in libc-compat.h as this does not need any fancy glibc header detection
as glibc never provided struct ethhdr and should define
__UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR by them self when they will provide this.
The following test program did not compile correctly any more:
#include <linux/if_ether.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <linux/in.h>
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
