Somewhat similar to dsa_tree_find, dsa_switch_find returns a dsa_switch
structure pointer by searching for its tree index and switch index (the
parameters from dsa,member). To be used, for example, by drivers who
implement .crosschip_bridge_join and need a reference to the other
switch indicated to by the tree_index and sw_index arguments.

Prior to 1d27732f411d ("net: dsa: setup and teardown ports"), we would
not treat failures to set-up an user port as fatal, but after this
commit we would, which is a regression for some systems where interfaces
may be declared in the Device Tree, but the underlying hardware may not
be present (pluggable daughter cards for instance).

<title>net: dsa: implement auto-normalization of MTU for bridge hardware datapath</title>

<content type='text'>
Many switches don't have an explicit knob for configuring the MTU
(maximum transmission unit per interface).  Instead, they do the
length-based packet admission checks on the ingress interface, for
reasons that are easy to understand (why would you accept a packet in
the queuing subsystem if you know you're going to drop it anyway).

So it is actually the MRU that these switches permit configuring.

In Linux there only exists the IFLA_MTU netlink attribute and the
associated dev_set_mtu function. The comments like to play blind and say
that it's changing the "maximum transfer unit", which is to say that
there isn't any directionality in the meaning of the MTU word. So that
is the interpretation that this patch is giving to things: MTU == MRU.

When 2 interfaces having different MTUs are bridged, the bridge driver
MTU auto-adjustment logic kicks in: what br_mtu_auto_adjust() does is it
adjusts the MTU of the bridge net device itself (and not that of the
slave net devices) to the minimum value of all slave interfaces, in
order for forwarded packets to not exceed the MTU regardless of the
interface they are received and send on.

The idea behind this behavior, and why the slave MTUs are not adjusted,
is that normal termination from Linux over the L2 forwarding domain
should happen over the bridge net device, which _is_ properly limited by
the minimum MTU. And termination over individual slave devices is
possible even if those are bridged. But that is not "forwarding", so
there's no reason to do normalization there, since only a single
interface sees that packet.

The problem with those switches that can only control the MRU is with
the offloaded data path, where a packet received on an interface with
MRU 9000 would still be forwarded to an interface with MRU 1500. And the
br_mtu_auto_adjust() function does not really help, since the MTU
configured on the bridge net device is ignored.

In order to enforce the de-facto MTU == MRU rule for these switches, we
need to do MTU normalization, which means: in order for no packet larger
than the MTU configured on this port to be sent, then we need to limit
the MRU on all ports that this packet could possibly come from. AKA
since we are configuring the MRU via MTU, it means that all ports within
a bridge forwarding domain should have the same MTU.

And that is exactly what this patch is trying to do.

&gt;From an implementation perspective, we try to follow the intent of the
user, otherwise there is a risk that we might livelock them (they try to
change the MTU on an already-bridged interface, but we just keep
changing it back in an attempt to keep the MTU normalized). So the MTU
that the bridge is normalized to is either:

 - The most recently changed one:

   ip link set dev swp0 master br0
   ip link set dev swp1 master br0
   ip link set dev swp0 mtu 1400

   This sequence will make swp1 inherit MTU 1400 from swp0.

 - The one of the most recently added interface to the bridge:

   ip link set dev swp0 master br0
   ip link set dev swp1 mtu 1400
   ip link set dev swp1 master br0

   The above sequence will make swp0 inherit MTU 1400 as well.

<title>net: dsa: Fix use-after-free in probing of DSA switch tree</title>

<id>6dc43cd3aae0ffeeaebe427e1bf5e5faf9de7d42</id>
<content type='text'>
DSA sets up a switch tree little by little. Every switch of the N
members of the tree calls dsa_register_switch, and (N - 1) will just
touch the dst-&gt;ports list with their ports and quickly exit. Only the
last switch that calls dsa_register_switch will find all DSA links
complete in dsa_tree_setup_routing_table, and not return zero as a
result but instead go ahead and set up the entire DSA switch tree
(practically on behalf of the other switches too).

The trouble is that the (N - 1) switches don't clean up after themselves
after they get an error such as EPROBE_DEFER. Their footprint left in
dst-&gt;ports by dsa_switch_touch_ports is still there. And switch N, the
one responsible with actually setting up the tree, is going to work with
those stale dp, dp-&gt;ds and dp-&gt;ds-&gt;dev pointers. In particular ds and
ds-&gt;dev might get freed by the device driver.

Be there a 2-switch tree and the following calling order:
- Switch 1 calls dsa_register_switch
  - Calls dsa_switch_touch_ports, populates dst-&gt;ports
  - Calls dsa_port_parse_cpu, gets -EPROBE_DEFER, exits.
- Switch 2 calls dsa_register_switch
  - Calls dsa_switch_touch_ports, populates dst-&gt;ports
  - Probe doesn't get deferred, so it goes ahead.
  - Calls dsa_tree_setup_routing_table, which returns "complete == true"
    due to Switch 1 having called dsa_switch_touch_ports before.
  - Because the DSA links are complete, it calls dsa_tree_setup_switches
    now.
  - dsa_tree_setup_switches iterates through dst-&gt;ports, initializing
    the Switch 1 ds structure (invalid) and the Switch 2 ds structure
    (valid).
  - Undefined behavior (use after free, sometimes NULL pointers, etc).

Real example below (debugging prints added by me, as well as guards
against NULL pointers):

The solution is to recognize that the functions that call
dsa_switch_touch_ports (dsa_switch_parse_of, dsa_switch_parse) have side
effects, and therefore one should clean up their side effects on error
path. The cleanup of dst-&gt;ports was taken from dsa_switch_remove and
moved into a dedicated dsa_switch_release_ports function, which should
really be per-switch (free only the members of dst-&gt;ports that are also
members of ds, instead of all switch ports).

The solution is to recognize that the functions that call
dsa_switch_touch_ports (dsa_switch_parse_of, dsa_switch_parse) have side
effects, and therefore one should clean up their side effects on error
path. The cleanup of dst-&gt;ports was taken from dsa_switch_remove and
moved into a dedicated dsa_switch_release_ports function, which should
really be per-switch (free only the members of dst-&gt;ports that are also
members of ds, instead of all switch ports).

<title>net: dsa: Get information about stacked DSA protocol</title>

It is possible to stack multiple DSA switches in a way that they are not
part of the tree (disjoint) but the DSA master of a switch is a DSA
slave of another. When that happens switch drivers may have to know this
is the case so as to determine whether their tagging protocol has a
remove chance of working.

This is useful for specific switch drivers such as b53 where devices
have been known to be stacked in the wild without the Broadcom tag
protocol supporting that feature. This allows b53 to continue supporting
those devices by forcing the disabling of Broadcom tags on the outermost
switches if necessary.

The get_tag_protocol() function is therefore updated to gain an
additional enum dsa_tag_protocol argument which denotes the current
tagging protocol used by the DSA master we are attached to, else
DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE for the top of the dsa_switch_tree.

dsa_link_touch() is not exported, or defined outside of the
file it is in so make it static to avoid the following warning:

net/dsa/dsa2.c:127:17: warning: symbol 'dsa_link_touch' was not declared. Should it be static?

The order in which the ports are deleted from the list and freed and the
call to dsa_switch_remove() is done is reversed, which leads to an
use after free condition. Reverse the two: first tear down the ports and
switch from the fabric, then free the ports associated with that switch
fabric.

Because there is no static array describing the links between switches
anymore, we have no reason to force a limitation of the index value
set by the device tree.

The DSA fabric setup code has been simplified a lot so get rid of
the dsa_tree_remove_switch, dsa_tree_add_switch and dsa_switch_add
helpers, and keep the code simple with only the dsa_switch_probe and
dsa_switch_remove functions.

Now that the DSA ports are listed in the switch fabric, there is
no need to store the dsa_switch structures from the drivers in the
fabric anymore. So get rid of the dst-&gt;ds static array.
