bridge: Add extack warning when enabling STP in netns.
[ Upstream commit 56a16035 ] When we create an L2 loop on a bridge in netns, we will see packets storm even if STP is enabled. # unshare -n # ip link add br0 type bridge # ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 # ip link set veth0 master br0 up # ip link set veth1 master br0 up # ip link set br0 type bridge stp_state 1 # ip link set br0 up # sleep 30 # ip -s link show br0 2: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether b6:61:98:1c:1c:b5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff RX: bytes packets errors dropped missed mcast 956553768 12861249 0 0 0 12861249 <-. Keep TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns | increasing 1027834 11951 0 0 0 0 <-' rapidly This is because llc_rcv() drops all packets in non-root netns and BPDU is dropped. Let's add extack warning when enabling STP in netns. # unshare -n # ip link add br0 type bridge # ip link set br0 type bridge stp_state 1 Warning: bridge: STP does not work in non-root netns. Note this commit will be reverted later when we namespacify the whole LLC infra.
