<title>net: switchdev: zero-initialize struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info emitted by drivers towards the bridge</title>

<content type='text'>
The blamed commit added a new field to struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info,
but did not make sure that all call paths set it to something valid.
For example, a switchdev driver may emit a SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE
notifier, and since the 'is_local' flag is not set, it contains junk
from the stack, so the bridge might interpret those notifications as
being for local FDB entries when that was not intended.

To avoid that now and in the future, zero-initialize all
switchdev_notifier_fdb_info structures created by drivers such that all
newly added fields to not need to touch drivers again.

Fixes: 2c4eca3ef716 ("net: bridge: switchdev: include local flag in FDB notifications")

If the checksum calculation is offloaded to the network device (e.g due to
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM inherited from the DSA master device), the calculated
layer 4 checksum is incorrect. This is since the DSA tag which is placed
after the layer 4 data is considered as being part of the daa and thus
errorneously included into the checksum calculation.
To avoid this, always calculate the layer 4 checksum in software.

<title>net: dsa: ensure linearized SKBs in case of tail taggers</title>

<content type='text'>
The function skb_put() that is used by tail taggers to make room for the
DSA tag must only be called for linearized SKBS. However in case that the
slave device inherited features like NETIF_F_HW_SG or NETIF_F_FRAGLIST the
SKB passed to the slaves transmit function may not be linearized.
Avoid those SKBs by clearing the NETIF_F_HW_SG and NETIF_F_FRAGLIST flags
for tail taggers.
Furthermore since the tagging protocol can be changed at runtime move the
code for setting up the slaves features into dsa_slave_setup_tagger().

This was not caught because there is no switch driver which implements
the .port_bridge_join but not .port_bridge_leave method, but it should
nonetheless be fixed, as in certain conditions (driver development) it
might lead to NULL pointer dereference.

The DSA core has a layered structure, and even though we end up
returning 0 (success) to user space when setting a bonding/team upper
that can't be offloaded, some parts of the framework actually need to
know that we couldn't offload that.

For example, if dsa_switch_lag_join returns 0 as it currently does,
dsa_port_lag_join has no way to tell a successful offload from a
software fallback, and it will call dsa_port_bridge_join afterwards.
Then we'll think we're offloading the bridge master of the LAG, when in
fact we're not even offloading the LAG. In turn, this will make us set
skb-&gt;offload_fwd_mark = true, which is incorrect and the bridge doesn't
like it.

When we join a bridge that already has some local addresses pointing to
itself, we do not get those notifications. Similarly, when we leave that
bridge, we do not get notifications for the deletion of those entries.
The only switchdev notifications we get are those of entries added while
the DSA port is enslaved to the bridge.

This makes use cases such as the following work properly (with the
number of additions and removals properly balanced):

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add br1 type bridge
ip link set br0 address 00:01:02:03:04:05
ip link set br1 address 00:01:02:03:04:05
ip link set swp0 up
ip link set swp1 up
ip link set swp0 master br0
ip link set swp1 master br1
ip link set br0 up
ip link set br1 up
ip link del br1 # 00:01:02:03:04:05 still installed on the CPU port
ip link del br0 # 00:01:02:03:04:05 finally removed from the CPU port

When
(a) "dev" is a bridge port which the DSA switch tree offloads, but is
    otherwise not a dsa slave (such as a LAG netdev), or
(b) "dev" is the bridge net device itself

then strange things happen to the dev_hold/dev_put pair:
dsa_schedule_work() will still be called with a DSA port that offloads
that netdev, but dev_hold() will be called on the non-DSA netdev.
Then the "if" condition in dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work() does not
pass, because "dev" is not a DSA netdev, so dev_put() is not called.

This results in the simple fact that we have a reference counting
mismatch on the "dev" net device.

This can be seen when we add support for host addresses installed on the
bridge net device.

ip link add br1 type bridge
ip link set br1 address 00:01:02:03:04:05
ip link set swp0 master br1
ip link del br1
[  968.512278] unregister_netdevice: waiting for br1 to become free. Usage count = 5

It seems foolish to do penny pinching and not add the net_device pointer
in the dsa_switchdev_event_work structure, so let's finally do that.
As an added bonus, when we start offloading local entries pointing
towards the bridge, these will now properly appear as 'offloaded' in
'bridge fdb' (this was not possible before, because 'dev' was assumed to
only be a DSA net device):

00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 vlan 1 offload master br0 permanent

The bridge supports a legacy way of adding local (non-forwarded) FDB
entries, which works on an individual port basis:

bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master local

As well as a new way, added by Roopa Prabhu in commit 3741873b4f73
("bridge: allow adding of fdb entries pointing to the bridge device"):

bridge fdb add dev br0 00:01:02:03:04:05 self local

The two commands are functionally equivalent, except that the first one
produces an entry with fdb-&gt;dst == swp0, and the other an entry with
fdb-&gt;dst == NULL. The confusing part, though, is that even if fdb-&gt;dst
is swp0 for the 'local on port' entry, that destination is not used.

Nonetheless, the idea is that the bridge has reference counting for
local entries, and local entries pointing towards the bridge are still
'as local' as local entries for a port.

The bridge adds the MAC addresses of the interfaces automatically as
FDB entries with is_local=1. For the MAC address of the ports, fdb-&gt;dst
will be equal to the port, and for the MAC address of the bridge,
fdb-&gt;dst will point towards the bridge (i.e. be NULL). Therefore, if the
MAC address of the bridge is not inherited from either of the physical
ports, then we must explicitly catch local FDB entries emitted towards
the br0, otherwise we'll miss the MAC address of the bridge (and, of
course, any entry with 'bridge add dev br0 ... self local').

The bridge automatically creates local (not forwarded) fdb entries
pointing towards physical ports with their interface MAC addresses.
For switchdev, the significance of these fdb entries is the exact
opposite of that of non-local entries: instead of sending these frame
outwards, we must send them inwards (towards the host).

NOTE: The bridge's own MAC address is also "local". If that address is
not shared with any port, the bridge's MAC is not be added by this
functionality - but the following commit takes care of that case.

NOTE 2: We mark these addresses as host-filtered regardless of the value
of ds-&gt;assisted_learning_on_cpu_port. This is because, as opposed to the
speculative logic done for dynamic address learning on foreign
interfaces, the local FDB entries are rather fixed, so there isn't any
risk of them migrating from one bridge port to another.

DSA is able to install FDB entries towards the CPU port for addresses
which were dynamically learnt by the software bridge on foreign
interfaces that are in the same bridge with a DSA switch interface.
Since this behavior is opportunistic, it is guarded by the
"assisted_learning_on_cpu_port" property which can be enabled by drivers
and is not done automatically (since certain switches may support
address learning of packets coming from the CPU port).

But if those FDB entries added on the foreign interfaces are static
(added by the user) instead of dynamically learnt, currently DSA does
not do anything (and arguably it should).

Because static FDB entries are not supposed to move on their own, there
is no downside in reusing the "assisted_learning_on_cpu_port" logic to
sync static FDB entries to the DSA CPU port unconditionally, even if
assisted_learning_on_cpu_port is not requested by the driver.

For example, this situation:

   br0
   / \
swp0 dummy0

$ bridge fdb add 02:00:de:ad:00:01 dev dummy0 vlan 1 master static

Results in DSA adding an entry in the hardware FDB, pointing this
address towards the CPU port.

The same is true for entries added to the bridge itself, e.g:

$ bridge fdb add 02:00:de:ad:00:01 dev br0 vlan 1 self local

(except that right now, DSA still ignores 'local' FDB entries, this will
be changed in a later patch)
