After HZ/4 the credit is balanced again. * * Now if a Packet storm commences (caused by loop): A single packet is * forwarded one one port (starting the recovery timer) and immediately * received on another bridge port, and forwarded again (and so on). Each * received packet takes one credit but the packet rate is too high for the * recovery timer to balance the credit. Once the credit reaches zero, the * packet is simly dropped which immediately stops the packet storm. * * For example, if the packet rate during the storm is 2 packet/ms: * The first packet starts the recovery timer. The balance after each * timer interval: * 0.00s: ~2000 * 0.25s: ~1500 + 250 * 0.50s: ~1250 + 250 * 0.75s: ~1000 + 250 * 1.00s: ~750 + 250 * 1.25s: ~500 + 250 * 1.50s: ~250 + 250 * 1.75s: ~0 + 250 * 2.00s: ~0 + 250 * * Once the credit becomes zero, the effective packet rate is equal to the * recovery rate. After the storm ends, it takes ~8s to fully balance the * packet credits. */ static void br_flood_rl_timer(struct timer_list *timer) { struct net_bridge *br = from_timer(br, timer, avm_flood_rl_timer); int curr = atomic_read(&br->avm_flood_credits); int diff = br->avm_flood_credits_max - curr; int rate = br->avm_flood_credits_recov_rate * RECOVER_TICK / HZ; /* Reaching the maximum suspends the timer */ if (diff > rate) mod_timer(&br->avm_flood_rl_timer, jiffies + RECOVER_TICK); atomic_add(min(rate, diff), &br->avm_flood_credits); } unsigned int br_flood_rl(struct net_bridge *br, struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *src_dev) { int flood; /* rate limiter disabled? */ if (br->avm_flood_credits_max == 0) return 1; /* Packets are dropped once all credits are consumed * but the timer must be running regardless. */ flood = atomic_dec_if_positive(&br->avm_flood_credits) > 0; if (!timer_pending(&br->avm_flood_rl_timer)) mod_timer(&br->avm_flood_rl_timer, jiffies + RECOVER_TICK); return flood ? 1 : 0; } static int br_flood_rl_dev_event(struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long event, void *netdev) { struct net_bridge *br; struct net_device *dev; /* not a bridge device? */ dev = netdev_notifier_info_to_dev((const struct netdev_notifier_info *)netdev); if ((dev->priv_flags & IFF_EBRIDGE) == 0) return NOTIFY_DONE; br = netdev_priv(dev); /* Don't run timers for down bridges */ switch (event) { case NETDEV_UP: mod_timer(&br->avm_flood_rl_timer, jiffies + RECOVER_TICK); break; case NETDEV_DOWN: del_timer_sync(&br->avm_flood_rl_timer); atomic_set(&br->avm_flood_credits, br->avm_flood_credits_max); break; } return NOTIFY_DONE; } static struct notifier_block br_flood_rl_netdev_notifier = { .notifier_call = br_flood_rl_dev_event, }; int br_flood_rl_set_credits(struct net_bridge *br, unsigned long v) { if (v > INT_MAX) return -EINVAL; del_timer_sync(&br->avm_flood_rl_timer); /* The maximum can be higher than the recovery rate.
