      net: dsa: sja1105: don't keep a persistent reference to the reset GPIO · 33e1501f
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      The driver only needs the reset GPIO for a very brief period, so instead
      of using devres and keeping the descriptor pointer inside priv, just use
      that descriptor inside the sja1105_hw_reset function and then let go of
      it.
      
      Also use gpiod_get_optional while at it, and error out on real errors
      (bad flags etc).

      ====================
      Fix circular dependency between sja1105 and tag_sja1105
      
      As discussed here:
      https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
      DSA tagging protocols cannot use symbols exported by switch drivers.
      
      Eliminate the two instances of that from tag_sja1105, and that allows us
      to have a working setup with modules again.

      net: dsa: sja1105: break dependency between dsa_port_is_sja1105 and switch driver · f5aef424
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      It's nice to be able to test a tagging protocol with dsa_loop, but not
      at the cost of losing the ability of building the tagging protocol and
      switch driver as modules, because as things stand, there is a circular
      dependency between the two. Tagging protocol drivers cannot depend on
      switch drivers, that is a hard fact.
      
      The reasoning behind the blamed patch was that accessing dp->priv should
      first make sure that the structure behind that pointer is what we really
      think it is.
      
      Currently the "sja1105" and "sja1110" tagging protocols only operate
      with the sja1105 switch driver, just like any other tagging protocol and
      switch combination. The only way to mix and match them is by modifying
      the code, and this applies to dsa_loop as well (by default that uses
      DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE). So while in principle there is an issue, in
      practice there isn't one.
      
      Until we extend dsa_loop to allow user space configuration, treat the
      problem as a non-issue and just say that DSA ports found by tag_sja1105
      are always sja1105 ports, which is in fact true. But keep the
      dsa_port_is_sja1105 function so that it's easy to patch it during
      testing, and rely on dead code elimination.

      net: dsa: move sja1110_process_meta_tstamp inside the tagging protocol driver · 6d709cad
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      The problem is that DSA tagging protocols really must not depend on the
      switch driver, because this creates a circular dependency at insmod
      time, and the switch driver will effectively not load when the tagging
      protocol driver is missing.
      
      The code was structured in the way it was for a reason, though. The DSA
      driver-facing API for PTP timestamping relies on the assumption that
      two-step TX timestamps are provided by the hardware in an out-of-band
      manner, typically by raising an interrupt and making that timestamp
      available inside some sort of FIFO which is to be accessed over
      SPI/MDIO/etc.
      
      So the API puts .port_txtstamp into dsa_switch_ops, because it is
      expected that the switch driver needs to save some state (like put the
      skb into a queue until its TX timestamp arrives).
      
      On SJA1110, TX timestamps are provided by the switch as Ethernet
      packets, so this makes them be received and processed by the tagging
      protocol driver. This in itself is great, because the timestamps are
      full 64-bit and do not require reconstruction, and since Ethernet is the
      fastest I/O method available to/from the switch, PTP timestamps arrive
      very quickly, no matter how bottlenecked the SPI connection is, because
      SPI interaction is not needed at all.
      
      DSA's code structure and strict isolation between the tagging protocol
      driver and the switch driver break the natural code organization.
      
      When the tagging protocol driver receives a packet which is classified
      as a metadata packet containing timestamps, it passes those timestamps
      one by one to the switch driver, which then proceeds to compare them
      based on the recorded timestamp ID that was generated in .port_txtstamp.
      
      The communication between the tagging protocol and the switch driver is
      done through a method exported by the switch driver, sja1110_process_meta_tstamp.
      To satisfy build requirements, we force a dependency to build the
      tagging protocol driver as a module when the switch driver is a module.
      However, as explained in the first paragraph, that causes the circular
      dependency.
      
      To solve this, move the skb queue from struct sja1105_private :: struct
      sja1105_ptp_data to struct sja1105_private :: struct sja1105_tagger_data.
      The latter is a data structure for which hacks have already been put
      into place to be able to create persistent storage per switch that is
      accessible from the tagging protocol driver (see sja1105_setup_ports).
      
      With the skb queue directly accessible from the tagging protocol driver,
      we can now move sja1110_process_meta_tstamp into the tagging driver
      itself, and avoid exporting a symbol.

      It looks like this field was never used since its introduction in commit
      227d07a0 ("net: dsa: sja1105: Add support for traffic through
      standalone ports") remove it.
