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_LEARNED_ENTRIES, which, if nonzero, limits the amount
of learned entries to a user specified maximum.
For backwards compatibility the default setting of 0 disables the limit.
User-added entries by netlink or from bridge or bridge port addresses
are never blocked and do not count towards that 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):
- fdb_delete <-+- fdb_delete_local <-+- br_fdb_changeaddr ✓
| +- br_fdb_change_mac_address ✓
| +- br_fdb_delete_by_port ✓
+- br_fdb_find_delete_local ✓
+- fdb_add_local <-+- br_fdb_changeaddr ✓
| +- br_fdb_change_mac_address ✓
| +- br_fdb_add_local ✓
+- br_fdb_cleanup ✓
+- br_fdb_flush ✓
+- br_fdb_delete_by_port ✓
+- fdb_delete_by_addr_and_port <--- __br_fdb_delete ✓
+- br_fdb_external_learn_del ✓
- fdb_create <-+- fdb_add_local <-+- br_fdb_changeaddr ✓
| +- br_fdb_change_mac_address ✓
| +- br_fdb_add_local ✓
+- br_fdb_update ✓
+- fdb_add_entry <--- __br_fdb_add ✓
+- br_fdb_external_learn_add ✓
The flags that imply an entry does not come from learning
(BR_FDB_NOT_LEARNED_MASK) are now only set or cleared under br->hash_lock
as well, and when the boolean value of (fdb->flags &
BR_FDB_NOT_LEARNED_MASK) changes the accounting is updated.
This introduces one additional locked update in br_fdb_update if
BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER was set. This is only the case when creating a new
entry via netlink, and never in the packet handling fast path.

Changes since v1:
- Do not initialize fdb_*_entries to 0. (from review)
- Do not skip decrementing on 0. (from review)
- Moved the counters to a conditional hole in struct net_bridge to
avoid growing the struct. (from review, it still grows the struct as
there are 2 32-bit values)
- Add IFLA_BR_FDB_CUR_LEARNED_ENTRIES (from review)
- Fix br_get_size()
- Only limit learned entries, rename to
*_(CUR|MAX)_LEARNED_ENTRIES. (from review)
Obsolete v1 review comments:
- Return better errors to users: Due to limiting the limit to
automatically created entries, netlink fdb add requests and changing
bridge ports are never rejected, so they do not yet need a more
friendly error returned.
