    net: dsa: sja1105: save/restore VLANs using a delta commit method · ec5ae610
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    Managing the VLAN table that is present in hardware will become very
    difficult once we add a third operating state
    (best_effort_vlan_filtering). That is because correct cleanup (not too
    little, not too much) becomes virtually impossible, when VLANs can be
    added from the bridge layer, from dsa_8021q for basic tagging, for
    cross-chip bridging, as well as retagging rules for sub-VLANs and
    cross-chip sub-VLANs. So we need to rethink VLAN interaction with the
    switch in a more scalable way.
    
    In preparation for that, use the priv->expect_dsa_8021q boolean to
    classify any VLAN request received through .port_vlan_add or
    .port_vlan_del towards either one of 2 internal lists: bridge VLANs and
    dsa_8021q VLANs.
    
    Then, implement a central sja1105_build_vlan_table method that creates a
    VLAN configuration from scratch based on the 2 lists of VLANs kept by
    the driver, and based on the VLAN awareness state. Currently, if we are
    VLAN-unaware, install the dsa_8021q VLANs, otherwise the bridge VLANs.
    
    Then, implement a delta commit procedure that identifies which VLANs
    from this new configuration are actually different from the config
    previously committed to hardware. We apply the delta through the dynamic
    configuration interface (we don't reset the switch). The result is that
    the hardware should see the exact sequence of operations as before this
    patch.
    
    This also helps remove the "br" argument passed to
    dsa_8021q_crosschip_bridge_join, which it was only using to figure out
    whether it should commit the configuration back to us or not, based on
    the VLAN awareness state of the bridge. We can simplify that, by always
    allowing those VLANs inside of our dsa_8021q_vlans list, and committing
    those to hardware when necessary.
