[ Upstream commit 56a16035bb6effb37177867cea94c13a8382f745 ]
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

TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns | increasing

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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
