Writing once per jiffy is enough to limit the bridge's false sharing.
After this change the bridge doesn't show up in the local load HitM stats.

Fdb's used and updated fields are written to on every packet forward and
packet receive respectively. Thus if we are receiving packets from a
particular fdb, they'll cause false-sharing with everyone who has looked
it up (even if it didn't match, since mac/vid share cache line!). The
"used" field is even worse since it is updated on every packet forward
to that fdb, thus the standard config where X ports use a single gateway
results in 100% fdb false-sharing. Note that this patch does not prevent
the last scenario, but it makes it better for other bridge participants
which are not using that fdb (and are only doing lookups over it).
The point is with this move we make sure that only communicating parties
get the false-sharing, in a later patch we'll show how to avoid that too.

Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10
milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks
to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much
more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the
matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and
is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms
of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.

Move around net_bridge so the vlan fields are in the beginning since
they're checked on every packet even if vlan filtering is disabled.
For the port move flags & vlan group to the beginning, so they're in the
same cache line with the port's state (both flags and state are checked
on each packet).

In commit 18bfb924f000 ("net: introduce default neigh_construct/destroy
ndo calls for L2 upper devices") we added these ndos to stacked devices
such as team and bond, so that calls will be propagated to mlxsw.
However, previous commit removed the reliance on these ndos and no new
users of these ndos have appeared since above mentioned commit. We can
therefore safely remove this dead code.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, they are:
1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from
sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack
hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal.
2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables
ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new
helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user()
as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables
clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc
update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate
the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace.
3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable
logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces.
Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued,
let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging
facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek.
4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti.
5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly
a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal.
6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian.
7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and
nft_meta, from Liping Zhang.
8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when
used by the netdev family, also from Liping.
9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from
the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects
and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng.
10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however,
results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t
type, from David Windsor.
11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp,
from Davide Caratti.
12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang.
13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang.

- ingress hook:
- if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info in
attached dst_metadata to map it to a local vlan
- egress hook:
- if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info attached to
vlan to set dst_metadata on the skb

This patch adds support to attach per vlan tunnel info dst
metadata. This enables bridge driver to map vlan to tunnel_info
at ingress and egress. It uses the kernel dst_metadata infrastructure.
The initial use case is vlan to vni bridging, but the api is generic
to extend to any tunnel_info in the future:
- Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data
- netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping
- Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach
dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default.
- changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan
handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code
- I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files.
- most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid
ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space
vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable.
Use case:
example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep
which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis).
iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show
relevant fdb entries):
example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and
vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001
before (netdev per vni):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self
after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self

Commit 69b34fb996b2 ("netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support for
xt_LOG") disabled logging packets using the LOG target from non-init
namespaces. The motivation was to prevent containers from flooding
kernel log of the host. The plan was to keep it that way until syslog
namespace implementation allows containers to log in a safe way.
However, the work on syslog namespace seems to have hit a dead end
somewhere in 2013 and there are users who want to use xt_LOG in all
network namespaces. This patch allows to do so by setting
/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log_all_netns
to a nonzero value. This sysctl is only accessible from init_net so that
one cannot switch the behaviour from inside a container.
