    net: dsa: flush switchdev workqueue before tearing down CPU/DSA ports · a57d8c21
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    Sometimes when unbinding the mv88e6xxx driver on Turris MOX, these error
    messages appear:
    
    mv88e6085 d0032004.mdio-mii:12: port 1 failed to delete be:79:b4:9e:9e:96 vid 1 from fdb: -2
    mv88e6085 d0032004.mdio-mii:12: port 1 failed to delete be:79:b4:9e:9e:96 vid 0 from fdb: -2

    (and similarly for other ports)
    
    What happens is that DSA has a policy "even if there are bugs, let's at
    least not leak memory" and dsa_port_teardown() clears the dp->fdbs and
    dp->mdbs lists, which are supposed to be empty.
    
    But deleting that cleanup code, the warnings go away.
    
    => the FDB and MDB lists (used for refcounting on shared ports, aka CPU
    and DSA ports) will eventually be empty, but are not empty by the time
    we tear down those ports. Aka we are deleting them too soon.
    
    The addresses that DSA complains about are host-trapped addresses: the
    local addresses of the ports, and the MAC address of the bridge device.
    
    The problem is that offloading those entries happens from a deferred
    work item scheduled by the SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_DEVICE handler, and this
    races with the teardown of the CPU and DSA ports where the refcounting
    is kept.
    
    In fact, not only it races, but fundamentally speaking, if we iterate
    through the port list linearly, we might end up tearing down the shared
    ports even before we delete a DSA user port which has a bridge upper.
    
    So as it turns out, we need to first tear down the user ports (and the
    unused ones, for no better place of doing that), then the shared ports
    (the CPU and DSA ports). In between, we need to ensure that all work
    items scheduled by our switchdev handlers (which only run for user
    ports, hence the reason why we tear them down first) have finished.
    
    Fixes: 161ca59d ("net: dsa: reference count the MDB entries at the cross-chip notifier level")
