a598f6aebe bridge: relay bridge multicast pkgs if !STP
Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned
off.  This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on)
from being able to detect loops in the network.

With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP
multicast group address is forwarded to all ports.

Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes
to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization
that only last octet needs to be checked.

43aa192011 bridge: handle process all link-local frames
Any frame addressed to link-local addresses should be processed by local
receive path. The earlier code would process them only if STP was enabled.
Since there are other frames like LACP for bonding, we should always
process them.

a339f1c881 bridge: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.
Even though bridges require 6 fields from struct net_device_stats,
the on-device stats are always there, so we may just use them.

The br_dev_get_stats is no longer required after this.

This hook is protected with the RCU, so simple

7b995651e3 [BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry
Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a
shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code).  So it
makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly
simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter).

df1c0b8468 [BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.
This patch fixes some packet leakage in bridge.  The bridging code was
allowing forward table entries to be generated even if a device was
being blocked. The fix is to not add forwarding database entries
unless the port is active.

The bug arose as part of the conversion to processing STP frames
through normal receive path (in 2.6.17).

c2886d6259 [BRIDGE]: if no STP then forward all BPDUs
If a bridge is not running STP, then it has no way to detect a cycle
in the network. But if it is not running STP and some other machine
or device is running STP, then if STP BPDU's get forwarded to it can
detect the cycle.

This is how the old 2.4 and early 2.6 code worked.

83aa0938ff [BRIDGE]: don't change packet type
The change to forward STP bpdu's (for usermode STP) through normal path,
changed the packet type in the process. Since link local stuff is multicast, it
should stay pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST.  The code was probably copy/pasted
incorrectly from the bridge pseudo-device receive path.

467aea0ddf bridge: don't route packets while learning
While in the STP learning state, don't route packets; wait until
forwarding delay has expired. The purpose of the forwarding delay
is to detect loops in the network, and if a brouter started up

fda93d92d7 [BRIDGE]: allow show/store of group multicast address
Bridge's communicate with each other using Spanning Tree Protocol
over a standard multicast address. There are times when testing or
layering bridges over existing topologies or tunnels, when it is
useful to use alternative multicast addresses for STP packets.

The 802.1d standard has some unused addresses, that can be used for this.
This patch is restrictive in that it only allows one of the possible
addresses in the standard.

cf0f02d04a [BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packets
Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets.
This allows link local multicast packets to be received by
other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC
code to get STP packets back into bridge code.

The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using
other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows
for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP
domains.

7ce54e3f42 [BRIDGE]: receive path optimization
This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going
through another softirq.  The bridge receive path is already being called
from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another
receiveq round trip.

Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge
so handle_bridge() always returns.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
