Older DSA drivers that do not provide an dsa_ops adjust_link method end
up using phylink. Unfortunately, a recent phylink change that requires
its supported_interfaces bitmap to be filled breaks these drivers
because the bitmap remains empty.

Rather than fixing each driver individually, fix it in the core code so
we have a sensible set of defaults.

incl_srcpt has the limitation, mentioned in commit b4638af8885a ("net:
dsa: sja1105: always enable the INCL_SRCPT option"), that frames with a
MAC DA of 01:80:c2:xx:yy:zz will be received as 01:80:c2:00:00:zz unless
PTP RX timestamping is enabled.

The incl_srcpt option was initially unconditionally enabled, then that
changed with commit 42824463d38d ("net: dsa: sja1105: Limit use of
incl_srcpt to bridge+vlan mode"), then again with b4638af8885a ("net:
dsa: sja1105: always enable the INCL_SRCPT option"). Bottom line is that
it now needs to be always enabled, otherwise the driver does not have a
reliable source of information regarding source_port and switch_id for
link-local traffic (tag_8021q VLANs may be imprecise since now they
identify an entire bridging domain when ports are not standalone).

If we accept that PTP RX timestamping (and therefore, meta frame
generation) is always enabled in hardware, then that limitation could be
avoided and packets with any MAC DA can be properly received, because
meta frames do contain the original bytes from the MAC DA of their
associated link-local packet.

This change enables meta frame generation unconditionally, which also
has the nice side effects of simplifying the switch control path
(a switch reset is no longer required on hwtstamping settings change)
and the tagger data path (it no longer needs to be informed whether to
expect meta frames or not - it always does).

The SJA1105 manual says that at offset 4 into the meta frame payload we
have "MAC destination byte 2" and at offset 5 we have "MAC destination
byte 1". These are counted from the LSB, so byte 1 is h_dest[ETH_HLEN-2]
aka h_dest[4] and byte 2 is h_dest[ETH_HLEN-3] aka h_dest[3].

The sja1105_meta_unpack() function decodes these the other way around,
so a frame with MAC DA 01:80:c2:11:22:33 is received by the network
stack as having 01:80:c2:22:11:33.

<content type='text'>
There was a regression introduced by the blamed commit, where pinging to
a VLAN-unaware bridge would fail with the repeated message "Couldn't
decode source port" coming from the tagging protocol driver.

When receiving packets with a bridge_vid as determined by
dsa_tag_8021q_bridge_join(), dsa_8021q_rcv() will decode:
- source_port = 0 (which isn't really valid, more like "don't know")
- switch_id = 0 (which isn't really valid, more like "don't know")
- vbid = value in range 1-7

Since the blamed patch has reversed the order of the checks, we are now
going to believe that source_port != -1 and switch_id != -1, so they're
valid, but they aren't.

The minimal solution to the problem is to only populate source_port and
switch_id with what dsa_8021q_rcv() came up with, if the vbid is zero,
i.e. the source port information is trustworthy.

Currently the sja1105 tagging protocol prefers using the source port
information from the VLAN header if that is available, falling back to
the INCL_SRCPT option if it isn't. The VLAN header is available for all
frames except for META frames initiated by the switch (containing RX
timestamps), and thus, the "if (is_link_local)" branch is practically
dead.

The tag_8021q source port identification has become more loose
("imprecise") and will report a plausible rather than exact bridge port,
when under a bridge (be it VLAN-aware or VLAN-unaware). But link-local
traffic always needs to know the precise source port. With incorrect
source port reporting, for example PTP traffic over 2 bridged ports will
all be seen on sockets opened on the first such port, which is incorrect.

Now that the tagging protocol has been changed to make link-local frames
always contain source port information, we can reverse the order of the
checks so that we always give precedence to that information (which is
always precise) in lieu of the tag_8021q VID which is only precise for a
standalone port.

<title>net: dsa: avoid suspicious RCU usage for synced VLAN-aware MAC addresses</title>

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-&gt;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().

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().

<title>net: dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530</title>

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.

<title>net: dsa: add support for mac_prepare() and mac_finish() calls</title>

<content type='text'>
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.
