net: mscc: ocelot: use separate flooding PGID for broadcast · b360d94f

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

In preparation of offloading the bridge port flags which have
independent settings for unknown multicast and for broadcast, we should
also start reserving one destination Port Group ID for the flooding of
broadcast packets, to allow configuring it individually.

net: dsa: felix: restore multicast flood to CPU when NPI tagger reinitializes · 6edb9e8d

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

ocelot_init sets up PGID_MC to include the CPU port module, and that is
fine, but the ocelot-8021q tagger removes the CPU port module from the
unknown multicast replicator. So after a transition from the default
ocelot tagger towards ocelot-8021q and then again towards ocelot,
multicast flooding towards the CPU port module will be disabled.

net: dsa: act as passthrough for bridge port flags · a8b659e7

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

There are multiple ways in which a PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute can be
expressed by the bridge through switchdev, and not all of them can be
emulated by DSA mid-layer API at the same time.

One possible configuration is when the bridge offloads the port flags
using a mask that has a single bit set - therefore only one feature
should change. However, DSA currently groups together unicast and
multicast flooding in the .port_egress_floods method, which limits our
options when we try to add support for turning off broadcast flooding:
do we extend .port_egress_floods with a third parameter which b53 and
mv88e6xxx will ignore? But that means that the DSA layer, which
currently implements the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute all by itself, will
see that .port_egress_floods is implemented, and will report that all 3
types of flooding are supported - not necessarily true.

Another configuration is when the user specifies more than one flag at
the same time, in the same netlink message. If we were to create one
individual function per offloadable bridge port flag, we would limit the
expressiveness of the switch driver of refusing certain combinations of
flag values. For example, a switch may not have an explicit knob for
flooding of unknown multicast, just for flooding in general. In that
case, the only correct thing to do is to allow changes to BR_FLOOD and
BR_MCAST_FLOOD in tandem, and never allow mismatched values. But having
a separate .port_set_unicast_flood and .port_set_multicast_flood would
not allow the driver to possibly reject that.

Also, DSA doesn't consider it necessary to inform the driver that a
SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_MROUTER attribute was offloaded, because it
just calls .port_egress_floods for the CPU port. When we'll add support
for the plain SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_MROUTER, that will become a real
problem because the flood settings will need to be held statefully in
the DSA middle layer, otherwise changing the mrouter port attribute will
impact the flooding attribute. And that's _assuming_ that the underlying
hardware doesn't have anything else to do when a multicast router
attaches to a port than flood unknown traffic to it. If it does, there
will need to be a dedicated .port_set_mrouter anyway.

So we need to let the DSA drivers see the exact form that the bridge
passes this switchdev attribute in, otherwise we are standing in the
way. Therefore we also need to use this form of language when
communicating to the driver that it needs to configure its initial
(before bridge join) and final (after bridge leave) port flags.

The b53 and mv88e6xxx drivers are converted to the passthrough API and
their implementation of .port_egress_floods is split into two: a
function that configures unicast flooding and another for multicast.
The mv88e6xxx implementation is quite hairy, and it turns out that
the implementations of unknown unicast flooding are actually the same
for 6185 and for 6352:

behind the confusing names actually lie two individual bits:
NO_UNKNOWN_MC -> FLOOD_UC = 0x4 = BIT(2)
NO_UNKNOWN_UC -> FLOOD_MC = 0x8 = BIT(3)

so there was no reason to entangle them in the first place.

Whereas the 6185 writes to MV88E6185_PORT_CTL0_FORWARD_UNKNOWN of
PORT_CTL0, which has the exact same bit index. I have left the
implementations separate though, for the only reason that the names are
different enough to confuse me, since I am not able to double-check with
a user manual. The multicast flooding setting for 6185 is in a different
register than for 6352 though.

net: switchdev: pass flags and mask to both {PRE_,}BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes · e18f4c18

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

This switchdev attribute offers a counterproductive API for a driver
writer, because although br_switchdev_set_port_flag gets passed a
"flags" and a "mask", those are passed piecemeal to the driver, so while
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS listener knows what changed because it has the
"mask", the BRIDGE_FLAGS listener doesn't, because it only has the final
value. But certain drivers can offload only certain combinations of
settings, like for example they cannot change unicast flooding
independently of multicast flooding - they must be both on or both off.
The way the information is passed to switchdev makes drivers not
expressive enough, and unable to reject this request ahead of time, in
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS notifier, so they are forced to reject it during
the deferred BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute, where the rejection is currently
ignored.

This patch also changes drivers to make use of the "mask" field for edge
detection when possible.

net: dsa: configure better brport flags when ports leave the bridge · 5e38c158

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

For a DSA switch port operating in standalone mode, address learning
doesn't make much sense since that is a bridge function. In fact,
address learning even breaks setups such as this one:

   +---------------------------------------------+
   |                                             |
   | +-------------------+                       |
   | |        br0        |    send      receive  |
   | +--------+-+--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |
   | |        | |        | |        | |        | |
   | |  swp0  | |  swp1  | |  swp2  | |  swp3  | |
   | |        | |        | |        | |        | |
   +-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+
          |         ^           |          ^
          |         |           |          |
          |         +-----------+          |
          |                                |
          +--------------------------------+

because if the switch has a single FDB (can offload a single bridge)
then source address learning on swp3 can "steal" the source MAC address
of swp2 from br0's FDB, because learning frames coming from swp2 will be
done twice: first on the swp1 ingress port, second on the swp3 ingress
port. So the hardware FDB will become out of sync with the software
bridge, and when swp2 tries to send one more packet towards swp1, the
ASIC will attempt to short-circuit the forwarding path and send it
directly to swp3 (since that's the last port it learned that address on),
which it obviously can't, because swp3 operates in standalone mode.

So DSA drivers operating in standalone mode should still configure a
list of bridge port flags even when they are standalone. Currently DSA
attempts to call dsa_port_bridge_flags with 0, which disables egress
flooding of unknown unicast and multicast, something which doesn't make
much sense. For the switches that implement .port_egress_floods - b53
and mv88e6xxx, it probably doesn't matter too much either, since they
can possibly inject traffic from the CPU into a standalone port,
regardless of MAC DA, even if egress flooding is turned off for that
port, but certainly not all DSA switches can do that - sja1105, for
example, can't. So it makes sense to use a better common default there,
such as "flood everything".

It should also be noted that what DSA calls "dsa_port_bridge_flags()"
is a degenerate name for just calling .port_egress_floods(), since
nothing else is implemented - not learning, in particular. But disabling
address learning, something that this driver is also coding up for, will
be supported by individual drivers once .port_egress_floods is replaced
with a more generic .port_bridge_flags.

Previous attempts to code up this logic have been in the common bridge
layer, but as pointed out by Ido Schimmel, there are corner cases that
are missed when doing that:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210209151936.97382-5-olteanv@gmail.com/

So, at least for now, let's leave DSA in charge of setting port flags
before and after the bridge join and leave.

net: bridge: don't print in br_switchdev_set_port_flag · 078bbb85

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

For the netlink interface, propagate errors through extack rather than
simply printing them to the console. For the sysfs interface, we still
print to the console, but at least that's one layer higher than in
switchdev, which also allows us to silently ignore the offloading of
flags if that is ever needed in the future.

net: bridge: offload all port flags at once in br_setport · 304ae3bf

Vladimir Oltean authored Feb 12, 2021

If for example this command:

ip link set swp0 type bridge_slave flood off mcast_flood off learning off

succeeded at configuring BR_FLOOD and BR_MCAST_FLOOD but not at
BR_LEARNING, there would be no attempt to revert the partial state in
any way. Arguably, if the user changes more than one flag through the
same netlink command, this one _should_ be all or nothing, which means
it should be passed through switchdev as all or nothing.

Merge branch 'ipa-cleanups' · 4b47ad00

David S. Miller authored Feb 12, 2021

Alex Elder says:

====================
net: ipa: some more cleanup

Version 3 of this series uses dev_err_probe() in the second patch,
as suggested by Heiner Kallweit.

Version 2 was sent to ensure the series was based on current
net-next/master, and added copyright updates to files touched.

The original introduction is below.

This is another fairly innocuous set of cleanup patches.

The first was motivated by a bug found that would affect IPA v4.5.
It maintain a new GSI address pointer; one is the "raw" (original
mapped) address, and the other will have been adjusted if necessary
for use on newer platforms.

The second just quiets some unnecessary noise during early probe.

The third fixes some errors that show up when IPA_VALIDATION is
enabled.

The last two just create helper functions to improve readability.
