net: dsa: avoid suspicious RCU usage for synced VLAN-aware MAC addresses

2023-06-27T16:37:41+00:00

When using the felix driver (the only one which supports UC filtering
and MC filtering) as a DSA master for a random other DSA switch, one can
see the following stack trace when the downstream switch ports join a
VLAN-aware bridge:

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
net/8021q/vlan_core.c:238 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

stack backtrace:
Workqueue: dsa_ordered dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work
Call trace:
 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x170/0x210
 vlan_for_each+0x8c/0x188

 dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work+0x7c/0x1c8
 process_one_work+0x290/0x568

What it's saying is that vlan_for_each() expects rtnl_lock() context and
it's not getting it, when it's called from the DSA master's ndo_set_rx_mode().

The caller of that - dsa_slave_set_rx_mode() - is the slave DSA
interface's dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add() which comes from the deferred
dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work().

We went to great lengths to avoid the rtnl_lock() context in that call
path in commit 0faf890fc519 ("net: dsa: drop rtnl_lock from
dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work"), and calling rtnl_lock() is simply not
an option due to the possibility of deadlocking when calling
dsa_flush_workqueue() from the call paths that do hold rtnl_lock() -
basically all of them.

So, when the DSA master calls vlan_for_each() from its ndo_set_rx_mode(),
the state of the 8021q driver on this device is really not protected
from concurrent access by anything.

Looking at net/8021q/, I don't think that vlan_info->vid_list was
particularly designed with RCU traversal in mind, so introducing an RCU
read-side form of vlan_for_each() - vlan_for_each_rcu() - won't be so
easy, and it also wouldn't be exactly what we need anyway.

In general I believe that the solution isn't in net/8021q/ anyway;
vlan_for_each() is not cut out for this task. DSA doesn't need rtnl_lock()
to be held per se - since it's not a netdev state change that we're
blocking, but rather, just concurrent additions/removals to a VLAN list.
We don't even need sleepable context - the callback of vlan_for_each()
just schedules deferred work.

The proposed escape is to remove the dependency on vlan_for_each() and
to open-code a non-sleepable, rtnl-free alternative to that, based on
copies of the VLAN list modified from .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid() and
.ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid().

net: dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530

2023-06-20T08:40:26+00:00

Since the introduction of the OF bindings, DSA has always had a policy that
in case multiple CPU ports are present in the device tree, the numerically
smallest one is always chosen.

The MT7530 switch family, except the switch on the MT7988 SoC, has 2 CPU
ports, 5 and 6, where port 6 is preferable on the MT7531BE switch because
it has higher bandwidth.

The MT7530 driver developers had 3 options:
- to modify DSA when the MT7531 switch support was introduced, such as to
  prefer the better port
- to declare both CPU ports in device trees as CPU ports, and live with the
  sub-optimal performance resulting from not preferring the better port
- to declare just port 6 in the device tree as a CPU port

Of course they chose the path of least resistance (3rd option), kicking the
can down the road. The hardware description in the device tree is supposed
to be stable - developers are not supposed to adopt the strategy of
piecemeal hardware description, where the device tree is updated in
lockstep with the features that the kernel currently supports.

Now, as a result of the fact that they did that, any attempts to modify the
device tree and describe both CPU ports as CPU ports would make DSA change
its default selection from port 6 to 5, effectively resulting in a
performance degradation visible to users with the MT7531BE switch as can be
seen below.

Without preferring port 6:

[ ID][Role] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec   374 MBytes   157 Mbits/sec  734    sender
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec   373 MBytes   156 Mbits/sec    receiver
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.81 GBytes   778 Mbits/sec    0    sender
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.81 GBytes   777 Mbits/sec    receiver

With preferring port 6:

[ ID][Role] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.99 GBytes   856 Mbits/sec  273    sender
[  5][TX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.99 GBytes   855 Mbits/sec    receiver
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.72 GBytes   737 Mbits/sec   15    sender
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-20.00  sec  1.71 GBytes   736 Mbits/sec    receiver

Using one port for WAN and the other ports for LAN is a very popular use
case which is what this test emulates.

As such, this change proposes that we retroactively modify stable kernels
(which don't support the modification of the CPU port assignments, so as to
let user space fix the problem and restore the throughput) to keep the
mt7530 driver preferring port 6 even with device trees where the hardware
is more fully described.

net: dsa: add support for mac_prepare() and mac_finish() calls

2023-05-26T09:39:40+00:00

Add DSA support for the phylink mac_prepare() and mac_finish() calls.
These were introduced as part of the PCS support to allow MACs to
perform preparatory steps prior to configuration, and finalisation
steps after the MAC and PCS has been configured.

Introducing phylink_pcs support to the mv88e6xxx DSA driver needs some
code moved out of its mac_config() stage into the mac_prepare() and
mac_finish() stages, and this commit facilitates such code in DSA
drivers.

net: create a netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master

2023-04-03T09:04:27+00:00

The fact that PTP 2-step TX timestamping is broken on DSA switches if
the master also timestamps the same packets is documented by commit
f685e609a301 ("net: dsa: Deny PTP on master if switch supports it").
We attempt to help the users avoid shooting themselves in the foot by
making DSA reject the timestamping ioctls on an interface that is a DSA
master, and the switch tree beneath it contains switches which are aware
of PTP.

The only problem is that there isn't an established way of intercepting
ndo_eth_ioctl calls, so DSA creates avoidable burden upon the network
stack by creating a struct dsa_netdevice_ops with overlaid function
pointers that are manually checked from the relevant call sites. There
used to be 2 such dsa_netdevice_ops, but now, ndo_eth_ioctl is the only
one left.

There is an ongoing effort to migrate driver-visible hardware timestamping
control from the ndo_eth_ioctl() based API to a new ndo_hwtstamp_set()
model, but DSA actively prevents that migration, since dsa_master_ioctl()
is currently coded to manually call the master's legacy ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and so, whenever a network device driver would be converted to the new
API, DSA's restrictions would be circumvented, because any device could
be used as a DSA master.

The established way for unrelated modules to react on a net device event
is via netdevice notifiers. So we create a new notifier which gets
called whenever there is an attempt to change hardware timestamping
settings on a device.

Finally, there is another reason why a netdev notifier will be a good
idea, besides strictly DSA, and this has to do with PHY timestamping.

With ndo_eth_ioctl(), all MAC drivers must manually call
phy_has_hwtstamp() before deciding whether to act upon SIOCSHWTSTAMP,
otherwise they must pass this ioctl to the PHY driver via
phy_mii_ioctl().

With the new ndo_hwtstamp_set() API, it will be desirable to simply not
make any calls into the MAC device driver when timestamping should be
performed at the PHY level.

But there exist drivers, such as the lan966x switch, which need to
install packet traps for PTP regardless of whether they are the layer
that provides the hardware timestamps, or the PHY is. That would be
impossible to support with the new API.

The proposal there, too, is to introduce a netdev notifier which acts as
a better cue for switching drivers to add or remove PTP packet traps,
than ndo_hwtstamp_set(). The one introduced here "almost" works there as
well, except for the fact that packet traps should only be installed if
the PHY driver succeeded to enable hardware timestamping, whereas here,
we need to deny hardware timestamping on the DSA master before it
actually gets enabled. This is why this notifier is called "PRE_", and
the notifier that would get used for PHY timestamping and packet traps
would be called NETDEV_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP. This isn't a new concept, for
example NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER do the same thing.

In expectation of future netlink UAPI, we also pass a non-NULL extack
pointer to the netdev notifier, and we make DSA populate it with an
informative reason for the rejection. To avoid making it go to waste, we
make the ioctl-based dev_set_hwtstamp() create a fake extack and print
the message to the kernel log.

The DSA core is in charge of the ethtool_ops of the net devices
associated with switch ports, so in case a hardware driver supports the
MAC merge layer, DSA must pass the callbacks through to the driver.
Add support for precisely that.

net: dsa: move tag_8021q headers to their proper place

2022-11-23T04:41:53+00:00

tag_8021q definitions are all over the place. Some are exported to
linux/dsa/8021q.h (visible by DSA core, taggers, switch drivers and
everyone else), and some are in dsa_priv.h.

Move the structures that don't need external visibility into tag_8021q.c,
and the ones which don't need the world or switch drivers to see them
into tag_8021q.h.

We also have the tag_8021q.h inclusion from switch.c, which is basically
the entire reason why tag_8021q.c was built into DSA in commit
8b6e638b4be2 ("net: dsa: build tag_8021q.c as part of DSA core").
I still don't know how to better deal with that, so leave it alone.

net: dsa: stop exposing tag proto module helpers to the world

2022-11-18T05:16:40+00:00

The DSA tagging protocol driver macros are in the public include/net/dsa.h
probably because that's also where the DSA_TAG_PROTO_*_VALUE macros are
(MODULE_ALIAS_DSA_TAG_DRIVER hinges on those macro definitions).

But there is no reason to expose these helpers to . That
header is shared between switch drivers (drivers/net/dsa/), tagging
protocol drivers (net/dsa/tag_*.c), the DSA core (net/dsa/ sans tag_*.c),
and the rest of the world (DSA master drivers, network stack, etc).
Too much exposure.

On the other hand, net/dsa/dsa_priv.h is included only by the DSA core
and by DSA tagging protocol drivers (or IOW, "friend" modules). Also a
bit too much exposure - I've contemplated creating a new header which is
only included by tagging protocol drivers, but completely separating a
new dsa_tag_proto.h from dsa_priv.h is not immediately trivial - for
example dsa_slave_to_port() is used both from the fast path and from the
control path.

So for now, move these definitions to dsa_priv.h which at least hides
them from the world.
