Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The driver for Marvell switches puts all ports in IGMP snooping mode which results in all IGMP/MLD frames that ingress on the ports to be forwarded to the CPU only. The bridge code in the kernel can then interpret these frames and act upon them, for instance by updating the mdb in the switch to reflect multicast memberships of stations connected to the ports. However, the IGMP/MLD frames must then also be forwarded to other ports of the bridge so external IGMP queriers can track membership reports, and external multicast clients can receive query reports from foreign IGMP queriers. Currently, this is impossible as the EDSA tagger sets offload_fwd_mark on the skb when it unwraps the tagged frames, and that will make the switchdev layer prevent the skb from egressing on any other port of the same switch. To fix that, look at the To_CPU code in the DSA header and make forwarding of the frame possible for trapped IGMP packets. Introduce some #defines for the frame types to make the code a bit more comprehensive. This was tested on a Marvell 88E6352 variant. Signed-off-by:Daniel Mack <daniel@zonque.org> Reviewed-by:
