    netfilter: bridge: Don't sabotage nf_hook calls from an l3mdev · 11577134

    For starters, the bridge netfilter code registers operations that
    are invoked any time nh_hook is called. Specifically, ip_sabotage_in
    watches for nested calls for NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING when a bridge is in
    the stack.
    
    Packet wise, the bridge netfilter hook runs first. br_nf_pre_routing
    allocates nf_bridge, sets in_prerouting to 1 and calls NF_HOOK for
    NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING. It's finish function, br_nf_pre_routing_finish,
    then resets in_prerouting flag to 0 and the packet continues up the
    stack. The packet eventually makes it to the VRF driver and it invokes
    nf_hook for NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING in case any rules have been added against
    the vrf device.
    
    Because of the registered operations the call to nf_hook causes
    ip_sabotage_in to be invoked. That function sees the nf_bridge on the
    skb and that in_prerouting is not set. Thinking it is an invalid nested
    call it steals (drops) the packet.
    
    Update ip_sabotage_in to recognize that the bridge or one of its upper
    devices (e.g., vlan) can be enslaved to a VRF (L3 master device) and
    allow the packet to go through the nf_hook a second time.
