<title>net: mscc: ocelot: install MAC addresses in .ndo_set_rx_mode from process context</title>

Currently ocelot_set_rx_mode calls ocelot_mact_learn directly, which has
a very nice ocelot_mact_wait_for_completion at the end. Introduced in
commit 639c1b2625af ("net: mscc: ocelot: Register poll timeout should be
wall time not attempts"), this function uses readx_poll_timeout which
triggers a lot of lockdep warnings and is also dangerous to use from
atomic context, potentially leading to lockups and panics.

Steen Hegelund added a poll timeout of 100 ms for checking the MAC
table, a duration which is clearly absurd to poll in atomic context.
So we need to defer the MAC table access to process context, which we do
via a dynamically allocated workqueue which contains all there is to
know about the MAC table operation it has to do.

<content type='text'>
The current assumption is that the felix DSA driver has flooding knobs
per traffic class, while ocelot switchdev has a single flooding knob.
This was correct for felix VSC9959 and ocelot VSC7514, but with the
introduction of seville VSC9953, we see a switch driven by felix.c which
has a single flooding knob.

So it is clear that we must do what should have been done from the
beginning, which is not to overwrite the configuration done by ocelot.c
in felix, but instead to teach the common ocelot library about the
differences in our switches, and set up the flooding PGIDs centrally.

The effect that the bogus iteration through FELIX_NUM_TC has upon
seville is quite dramatic. ANA_FLOODING is located at 0x00b548, and
ANA_FLOODING_IPMC is located at 0x00b54c. So the bogus iteration will
actually overwrite ANA_FLOODING_IPMC when attempting to write
ANA_FLOODING[1]. There is no ANA_FLOODING[1] in sevile, just ANA_FLOODING.

And when ANA_FLOODING_IPMC is overwritten with a bogus value, the effect
is that ANA_FLOODING_IPMC gets the value of 0x0003CF7D:
	MC6_DATA = 61,
	MC6_CTRL = 61,
	MC4_DATA = 60,
	MC4_CTRL = 0.
Because MC4_CTRL is zero, this means that IPv4 multicast control packets
are not flooded, but dropped. An invalid configuration, and this is how
the issue was actually spotted.

Currently we are checking in some places whether the port has a native
VLAN on egress or not, by comparing the ocelot_port-&gt;vid value with zero.

That works, because VID 0 can never be a native VLAN configured by the
bridge, but now we want to make similar checks for the pvid. That won't
work, because there are cases when we do have the pvid set to 0 (not by
the bridge, by ourselves, but still.. it's confusing). And we can't
encode a negative value into an u16, so add a bool to the structure.

<id>e5d1f896fd1a347be6e58b873280798233bdf15e</id>
<content type='text'>
There is one main difference in mscc_ocelot between IP multicast and L2
multicast. With IP multicast, destination ports are encoded into the
upper bytes of the multicast MAC address. Example: to deliver the
address 01:00:5E:11:22:33 to ports 3, 8, and 9, one would need to
program the address of 00:03:08:11:22:33 into hardware. Whereas for L2
multicast, the MAC table entry points to a Port Group ID (PGID), and
that PGID contains the port mask that the packet will be forwarded to.
As to why it is this way, no clue. My guess is that not all port
combinations can be supported simultaneously with the limited number of
PGIDs, and this was somehow an issue for IP multicast but not for L2
multicast. Anyway.

Prior to this change, the raw L2 multicast code was bogus, due to the
fact that there wasn't really any way to test it using the bridge code.
There were 2 issues:
- A multicast PGID was allocated for each MDB entry, but it wasn't in
  fact programmed to hardware. It was dummy.
- In fact we don't want to reserve a multicast PGID for every single MDB
  entry. That would be odd because we can only have ~60 PGIDs, but
  thousands of MDB entries. So instead, we want to reserve a multicast
  PGID for every single port combination for multicast traffic. And
  since we can have 2 (or more) MDB entries delivered to the same port
  group (and therefore PGID), we need to reference-count the PGIDs.

A driver may refuse to enable VLAN filtering for any reason beyond what
the DSA framework cares about, such as:
- having tc-flower rules that rely on the switch being VLAN-aware
- the particular switch does not support VLAN, even if the driver does
  (the DSA framework just checks for the presence of the .port_vlan_add
  and .port_vlan_del pointers)
- simply not supporting this configuration to be toggled at runtime

Currently, when a driver rejects a configuration it cannot support, it
does this from the commit phase, which triggers various warnings in
switchdev.

So propagate the prepare phase to drivers, to give them the ability to
refuse invalid configurations cleanly and avoid the warnings.

Since we need to modify all function prototypes and check for the
prepare phase from within the drivers, take that opportunity and move
the existing driver restrictions within the prepare phase where that is
possible and easy.

For Ocelot switches, there are 2 ingress pipelines for flow offload
rules: VCAP IS1 (Ingress Classification) and IS2 (Security Enforcement).
IS1 and IS2 support different sets of actions. The pipeline order for a
packet on ingress is:

Basic classification -&gt; VCAP IS1 -&gt; VCAP IS2

Furthermore, IS1 is looked up 3 times, and IS2 is looked up twice (each
TCAM entry can be configured to match only on the first lookup, or only
on the second, or on both etc).

Because the TCAMs are completely independent in hardware, and because of
the fixed pipeline, we actually have very limited options when it comes
to offloading complex rules to them while still maintaining the same
semantics with the software data path.

This patch maps flow offload rules to ingress TCAMs according to a
predefined chain index number. There is going to be a script in
selftests that clarifies the usage model.

There is also an egress TCAM (VCAP ES0, the Egress Rewriter), which is
modeled on top of the default chain 0 of the egress qdisc, because it
doesn't have multiple lookups.
