Consider the following bridge configuration, where bond0 is not offloaded: +-- br0 --+ / / | \ / / | \ / | | bond0 / | | / \ swp0 swp1 swp2 swp3 swp4 . . . . . . A B C Ideally, when the switch receives a packet from swp3 or swp4, it should forward the packet to the CPU, according to the port matrix and unknown unicast flood settings. But packet loss will happen if the destination address is at one of the offloaded ports (swp0~2). For example, when client C sends a packet to A, the FDB lookup will indicate that it should be forwarded to swp0, but the port matrix of swp3 and swp4 is configured to only allow the CPU to be its destination, so it is dropped. However, this issue does not happen if the bridge is VLAN-aware. That is because VLAN-aware bridges use independent VLAN learning, i.e. use VID for FDB lookup, on offloaded ports. As swp3 and swp4 are not offloaded, shared VLAN learning with default filter ID of 0 is used instead. So the lookup for A with filter ID 0 never hits and the packet can be forwarded to the CPU. In the current code, only two combinations were used to toggle user ports' VLAN awareness: one is PCR.PORT_VLAN set to port matrix mode with PVC.VLAN_ATTR set to transparent port, the other is PCR.PORT_VLAN set to security mode with PVC.VLAN_ATTR set to user port. It turns out that only PVC.VLAN_ATTR contributes to VLAN awareness, and port matrix mode just skips the VLAN table lookup. The reference manual is somehow misleading when describing PORT_VLAN modes. It states that PORT_MEM (VLAN port member) is used for destination if the VLAN table lookup hits, but actually **PORT_MEM & PORT_MATRIX** (bitwise AND of VLAN port member and port matrix) is used instead, which means we can have two or more separate VLAN-aware bridges with the same PVID and traffic won't leak between them. Therefore, to solve this, enable independent VLAN learning with PVID 0 on VLAN-unaware bridges, by setting their PCR.PORT_VLAN to fallback mode, while leaving standalone ports in port matrix mode. The CPU port is always set to fallback mode to serve those bridges. During testing, it is found that FDB lookup with filter ID of 0 will also hit entries with VID 0 even with independent VLAN learning. To avoid that, install all VLANs with filter ID of 1.
