>Description:
Trying to make clean-layer2 traffic (STP/CDP) to flow from one switch to another (unidirectional), I figure out that if_bridge(4) filters pure-layer2 frames (non-IP), unless you use a span port on a single-port "bridge".
But, when I create a if_bridge(4) interface with 2 ethernet ports configured as follows:
- NIC1, as a normal attached bridging port, and
- NIC2, as a span port
this results a kernel panic.
If I run a kernel with debuging options enabled, I see a KASSERT that describes the "panic" as shown in /usr/src/sys/net/if_bridge.c line:2757
/* we may return with the IP fields swapped, ensure its not shared */
KASSERT(M_WRITABLE(*mp), ("%s: modifying a shared mbuf", __func__));
any ideas/patch are welcome.
>How-To-Repeat:
ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig bridge0 addm em0 span em1
ifconfig em0 up
ifconfig em1 up
ifconfig bridge0 up
just wait for some traffic (layer2-only included, like STP/CDP) to flow thru interfaces and KASSERT error message appears with kernel panic.
