net: dsa: automatically bring up DSA master when opening user port

2021-02-06T22:42:57+00:00

DSA wants the master interface to be open before the user port is due to
historical reasons. The promiscuity of interfaces that are down used to
have issues, as referenced Lennert Buytenhek in commit df02c6ff2e39
("dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handling").

The bugfix mentioned there, commit b6c40d68ff64 ("net: only invoke
dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), was basically a "don't do
that" approach to working around the promiscuity while down issue.

Further work done by Vlad Yasevich in commit d2615bf45069 ("net: core:
Always propagate flag changes to interfaces") has resolved the
underlying issue, and it is strictly up to the DSA and 8021q drivers
now, it is no longer mandated by the networking core that the master
interface must be up when changing its promiscuity.

From DSA's point of view, deciding to error out in dsa_slave_open
because the master isn't up is
(a) a bad user experience and
(b) knocking at an open door.
Even if there still was an issue with promiscuity while down, DSA could
still just open the master and avoid it.

Doing it this way has the additional benefit that user space can now
remove DSA-specific workarounds, like systemd-networkd with BindCarrier:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7478

And we can finally remove one of the 2 bullets in the "Common pitfalls
using DSA setups" chapter.

Tested with two cascaded DSA switches:

$ ip link set sw0p2 up
fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eno2: configuring for fixed/internal link mode
fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eno2: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp0: configuring for fixed/sgmii link mode
mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off
8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device swp0
sja1105 spi2.0 sw0p2: configuring for phy/rgmii-id link mode
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eno2: link becomes ready
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): swp0: link becomes ready

We need an empty line before list stats, otherwise first point

start at the same offset in the cell, otherwise sphinx thinks
it's a new indented block.
