A malicious actor behind one bridge port may spam the kernel with packets
with a random source MAC address, each of which will create an FDB entry,
each of which is a dynamic allocation in the kernel.
There are roughly 2^48 different MAC addresses, further limited by the
rhashtable they are stored in to 2^31. Each entry is of the type struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry, which is currently 128 bytes big. This means the
maximum amount of memory allocated for FDB entries is 2^31 * 128B =
256GiB, which is too much for most computers.
Mitigate this by adding a bridge netlink setting IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_ENTRIES,
which, if nonzero, limits the amount of entries to a user specified
maximum.
For backwards compatibility the default setting of 0 disables the limit.
All changes to fdb_n_entries are under br->hash_lock, which means we do
not need additional locking. The call paths are (✓ denotes that
br->hash_lock is taken around the next call):
