net: mscc: ocelot: fix oversize frame dropping for preemptible TCs
This switch implements Hold/Release in a strange way, with no control from the user as required by IEEE 802.1Q-2018 through Set-And-Hold-MAC and Set-And-Release-MAC, but rather, it emits HOLD requests implicitly based on the schedule. Namely, when the gate of a preemptible TC is about to close (actually QSYS::PREEMPTION_CFG.HOLD_ADVANCE octet times in advance of this event), the QSYS seems to emit a HOLD request pulse towards the MAC which preempts the currently transmitted packet, and further packets are held back in the queue system. This allows large frames to be squeezed through small time slots, because HOLD requests initiated by the gate events result in the frame being segmented in multiple fragments, the bit time of which is equal to the size of the time slot. It has been reported that the vsc9959_tas_guard_bands_update() logic breaks this, because it doesn't take preemptible TCs into account, and enables oversized frame dropping when the time slot doesn't allow a full MTU to be sent, but it does allow 2*minFragSize to be sent (128B). Packets larger than 128B are dropped instead of being sent in multiple fragments. Confusingly, the manual says: | For guard band, SDU calculation of a traffic class of a port, if | preemption is enabled (through 'QSYS::PREEMPTION_CFG.P_QUEUES') then | QSYS::PREEMPTION_CFG.HOLD_ADVANCE is used, otherwise | QSYS::QMAXSDU_CFG_*.QMAXSDU_* is used. but this only refers to the static guard band durations, and the QMAXSDU_CFG_* registers have dual purpose - the other being oversized frame dropping, which takes place irrespective of whether frames are preemptible or express. So, to fix the problem, we need to call vsc9959_tas_guard_bands_update() from ocelot_port_update_active_preemptible_tcs(), and modify the guard band logic to consider a different (lower) oversize limit for preemptible traffic classes.
