When setting up a bridge with stp_state 1, topology changes are not
detected and loops are not blocked. This is because the standard way of
transmitting a packet, based on VLAN IDs redirected by VCAP IS2 to the
right egress port, does not override the port STP state (in the case of
Ocelot switches, that's really the PGID_SRC masks).

To force a packet to be injected into a port that's BLOCKING, we must
send it as a control packet, which means in the case of this tagger to
send it using the manual register injection method. We already do this
for PTP frames, extend the logic to apply to any link-local MAC DA.

Michael reported that when using the "ocelot-8021q" tagging protocol,
the switch driver module must be manually loaded before the tagging
protocol can be loaded/is available.

This appears to be the same problem described here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
where due to the fact that DSA tagging protocols make use of symbols
exported by the switch drivers, circular dependencies appear and this
breaks module autoloading.

The ocelot_8021q driver needs the ocelot_can_inject() and
ocelot_port_inject_frame() functions from the switch library. Previously
the wrong approach was taken to solve that dependency: shims were
provided for the case where the ocelot switch library was compiled out,
but that turns out to be insufficient, because the dependency when the
switch lib _is_ compiled is problematic too.

We cannot declare ocelot_can_inject() and ocelot_port_inject_frame() as
static inline functions, because these access I/O functions like
__ocelot_write_ix() which is called by ocelot_write_rix(). Making those
static inline basically means exposing the whole guts of the ocelot
switch library, not ideal...

We already have one tagging protocol driver which calls into the switch
driver during xmit but not using any exported symbol: sja1105_defer_xmit.
We can do the same thing here: create a kthread worker and one work item
per skb, and let the switch driver itself do the register accesses to
send the skb, and then consume it.

As explained here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
DSA tagging protocol drivers cannot depend on symbols exported by switch
drivers, because this creates a circular dependency that breaks module
autoloading.

The tag_ocelot.c file depends on the ocelot_ptp_rew_op() function
exported by the common ocelot switch lib. This function looks at
OCELOT_SKB_CB(skb) and computes how to populate the REW_OP field of the
DSA tag, for PTP timestamping (the command: one-step/two-step, and the
TX timestamp identifier).

None of that requires deep insight into the driver, it is quite
stateless, as it only depends upon the skb-&gt;cb. So let's make it a
static inline function and put it in include/linux/dsa/ocelot.h, a
file that despite its name is used by the ocelot switch driver for
populating the injection header too - since commit 40d3f295b5fe ("net:
mscc: ocelot: use common tag parsing code with DSA").

With that function declared as static inline, its body is expanded
inside each call site, so the dependency is broken and the DSA tagger
can be built without the switch library, upon which the felix driver
depends.

It's nice to be able to test a tagging protocol with dsa_loop, but not
at the cost of losing the ability of building the tagging protocol and
switch driver as modules, because as things stand, there is a circular
dependency between the two. Tagging protocol drivers cannot depend on
switch drivers, that is a hard fact.

The reasoning behind the blamed patch was that accessing dp-&gt;priv should
first make sure that the structure behind that pointer is what we really
think it is.

Currently the "sja1105" and "sja1110" tagging protocols only operate
with the sja1105 switch driver, just like any other tagging protocol and
switch combination. The only way to mix and match them is by modifying
the code, and this applies to dsa_loop as well (by default that uses
DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE). So while in principle there is an issue, in
practice there isn't one.

Until we extend dsa_loop to allow user space configuration, treat the
problem as a non-issue and just say that DSA ports found by tag_sja1105
are always sja1105 ports, which is in fact true. But keep the
dsa_port_is_sja1105 function so that it's easy to patch it during
testing, and rely on dead code elimination.

<title>net: dsa: move sja1110_process_meta_tstamp inside the tagging protocol driver</title>

The problem is that DSA tagging protocols really must not depend on the
switch driver, because this creates a circular dependency at insmod
time, and the switch driver will effectively not load when the tagging
protocol driver is missing.

The code was structured in the way it was for a reason, though. The DSA
driver-facing API for PTP timestamping relies on the assumption that
two-step TX timestamps are provided by the hardware in an out-of-band
manner, typically by raising an interrupt and making that timestamp
available inside some sort of FIFO which is to be accessed over
SPI/MDIO/etc.

So the API puts .port_txtstamp into dsa_switch_ops, because it is
expected that the switch driver needs to save some state (like put the
skb into a queue until its TX timestamp arrives).

On SJA1110, TX timestamps are provided by the switch as Ethernet
packets, so this makes them be received and processed by the tagging
protocol driver. This in itself is great, because the timestamps are
full 64-bit and do not require reconstruction, and since Ethernet is the
fastest I/O method available to/from the switch, PTP timestamps arrive
very quickly, no matter how bottlenecked the SPI connection is, because
SPI interaction is not needed at all.

DSA's code structure and strict isolation between the tagging protocol
driver and the switch driver break the natural code organization.

When the tagging protocol driver receives a packet which is classified
as a metadata packet containing timestamps, it passes those timestamps
one by one to the switch driver, which then proceeds to compare them
based on the recorded timestamp ID that was generated in .port_txtstamp.

The communication between the tagging protocol and the switch driver is
done through a method exported by the switch driver, sja1110_process_meta_tstamp.
To satisfy build requirements, we force a dependency to build the
tagging protocol driver as a module when the switch driver is a module.
However, as explained in the first paragraph, that causes the circular
dependency.

To solve this, move the skb queue from struct sja1105_private :: struct
sja1105_ptp_data to struct sja1105_private :: struct sja1105_tagger_data.
The latter is a data structure for which hacks have already been put
into place to be able to create persistent storage per switch that is
accessible from the tagging protocol driver (see sja1105_setup_ports).

With the skb queue directly accessible from the tagging protocol driver,
we can now move sja1110_process_meta_tstamp into the tagging driver
itself, and avoid exporting a symbol.

It was a documented fact that ds-&gt;ops-&gt;change_tag_protocol() offered
rtnetlink mutex protection to the switch driver, since there was an
ASSERT_RTNL right before the call in dsa_switch_change_tag_proto()
(initiated from sysfs).

The blamed commit introduced another call path for
ds-&gt;ops-&gt;change_tag_protocol() which does not hold the rtnl_mutex.
This is:

dsa_tree_setup
-&gt; dsa_tree_setup_switches
   -&gt; dsa_switch_setup
      -&gt; dsa_switch_setup_tag_protocol
         -&gt; ds-&gt;ops-&gt;change_tag_protocol()
   -&gt; dsa_port_setup
      -&gt; dsa_slave_create
         -&gt; register_netdevice(slave_dev)
-&gt; dsa_tree_setup_master
   -&gt; dsa_master_setup
      -&gt; dev-&gt;dsa_ptr = cpu_dp

The reason why the rtnl_mutex is held in the sysfs call path is to
ensure that, once the master and all the DSA interfaces are down (which
is required so that no packets flow), they remain down during the
tagging protocol change.

The above calling order illustrates the fact that it should not be risky
to change the initial tagging protocol to the one specified in the
device tree at the given time:

- packets cannot enter the dsa_switch_rcv() packet type handler since
  netdev_uses_dsa() for the master will not yet return true, since
  dev-&gt;dsa_ptr has not yet been populated

- packets cannot enter the dsa_slave_xmit() function because no DSA
  interface has yet been registered

So from the DSA core's perspective, holding the rtnl_mutex is indeed not
necessary.

Yet, drivers may need to do things which need rtnl_mutex protection. For
example:

felix_set_tag_protocol
-&gt; felix_setup_tag_8021q
   -&gt; dsa_tag_8021q_register
      -&gt; dsa_tag_8021q_setup
         -&gt; dsa_tag_8021q_port_setup
            -&gt; vlan_vid_add
               -&gt; ASSERT_RTNL

These drivers do not really have a choice to take the rtnl_mutex
themselves, since in the sysfs case, the rtnl_mutex is already held.

<content type='text'>
Similar to commit 6087175b7991 ("net: dsa: mt7530: use independent VLAN
learning on VLAN-unaware bridges"), software forwarding between an
unoffloaded LAG port (a bonding interface with an unsupported policy)
and a mv88e6xxx user port directly under a bridge is broken.

We adopt the same strategy, which is to make the standalone ports not
find any ATU entry learned on a bridge port.

Theory: the mv88e6xxx ATU is looked up by FID and MAC address. There are
as many FIDs as VIDs (4096). The FID is derived from the VID when
possible (the VTU maps a VID to a FID), with a fallback to the port
based default FID value when not (802.1Q Mode is disabled on the port,
or the classified VID isn't present in the VTU).

The mv88e6xxx driver makes the following use of FIDs and VIDs:

- the port's DefaultVID (to which untagged &amp; pvid-tagged packets get
  classified) is 0 and is absent from the VTU, so this kind of packets is
  processed in FID 0, the default FID assigned by mv88e6xxx_setup_port.

- every time a bridge VLAN is created, mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_join() -&gt;
  mv88e6xxx_atu_new() associates a FID with that VID which increases
  linearly starting from 1. Like this:

  bridge vlan add dev lan0 vid 100 # FID 1
  bridge vlan add dev lan1 vid 100 # still FID 1
  bridge vlan add dev lan2 vid 1024 # FID 2

The FID allocation made by the driver is sub-optimal for the following
reasons:

(a) A standalone port has a DefaultPVID of 0 and a default FID of 0 too.
    A VLAN-unaware bridged port has a DefaultPVID of 0 and a default FID
    of 0 too. The difference is that the bridged ports may learn ATU
    entries, while the standalone port has the requirement that it must
    not, and must not find them either. Standalone ports must not use
    the same FID as ports belonging to a bridge. All standalone ports
    can use the same FID, since the ATU will never have an entry in
    that FID.

(b) Multiple VLAN-unaware bridges will all use a DefaultPVID of 0 and a
    default FID of 0 on all their ports. The FDBs will not be isolated
    between these bridges. Every VLAN-unaware bridge must use the same
    FID on all its ports, different from the FID of other bridge ports.

(c) Each bridge VLAN uses a unique FID which is useful for Independent
    VLAN Learning, but the same VLAN ID on multiple VLAN-aware bridges
    will result in the same FID being used by mv88e6xxx_atu_new().
    The correct behavior is for VLAN 1 in br0 to have a different FID
    compared to VLAN 1 in br1.

This patch cannot fix all the above. Traditionally the DSA framework did
not care about this, and the reality is that DSA core involvement is
needed for the aforementioned issues to be solved. The only thing we can
solve here is an issue which does not require API changes, and that is
issue (a), aka use a different FID for standalone ports vs ports under
VLAN-unaware bridges.

The first step is deciding what VID and FID to use for standalone ports,
and what VID and FID for bridged ports. The 0/0 pair for standalone
ports is what they used up till now, let's keep using that. For bridged
ports, there are 2 cases:

- VLAN-aware ports will never end up using the port default FID, because
  packets will always be classified to a VID in the VTU or dropped
  otherwise. The FID is the one associated with the VID in the VTU.

- On VLAN-unaware ports, we _could_ leave their DefaultVID (pvid) at
  zero (just as in the case of standalone ports), and just change the
  port's default FID from 0 to a different number (say 1).

However, Tobias points out that there is one more requirement to cater to:
cross-chip bridging. The Marvell DSA header does not carry the FID in
it, only the VID. So once a packet crosses a DSA link, if it has a VID
of zero it will get classified to the default FID of that cascade port.
Relying on a port default FID for upstream cascade ports results in
contradictions: a default FID of 0 breaks ATU isolation of bridged ports
on the downstream switch, a default FID of 1 breaks standalone ports on
the downstream switch.

So not only must standalone ports have different FIDs compared to
bridged ports, they must also have different DefaultVID values.
IEEE 802.1Q defines two reserved VID values: 0 and 4095. So we simply
choose 4095 as the DefaultVID of ports belonging to VLAN-unaware
bridges, and VID 4095 maps to FID 1.

For the xmit operation to look up the same ATU database, we need to put
VID 4095 in DSA tags sent to ports belonging to VLAN-unaware bridges
too. All shared ports are configured to map this VID to the bridging
FID, because they are members of that VLAN in the VTU. Shared ports
don't need to have 802.1QMode enabled in any way, they always parse the
VID from the DSA header, they don't need to look at the 802.1Q header.

We install VID 4095 to the VTU in mv88e6xxx_setup_port(), with the
mention that mv88e6xxx_vtu_setup() which was located right below that
call was flushing the VTU so those entries wouldn't be preserved.
So we need to relocate the VTU flushing prior to the port initialization
during -&gt;setup(). Also note that this is why it is safe to assume that
VID 4095 will get associated with FID 1: the user ports haven't been
created, so there is no avenue for the user to create a bridge VLAN
which could otherwise race with the creation of another FID which would
otherwise use up the non-reserved FID value of 1.

[ Currently mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_join() doesn't have the option of
  specifying a preferred FID, it always calls mv88e6xxx_atu_new(). ]

mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge() is the function to access the ATU for
FDB/MDB entries, and it used to determine the FID to use for
VLAN-unaware FDB entries (VID=0) using mv88e6xxx_port_get_fid().
But the driver only called mv88e6xxx_port_set_fid() once, during probe,
so no surprises, the port FID was always 0, the call to get_fid() was
redundant. As much as I would have wanted to not touch that code, the
logic is broken when we add a new FID which is not the port-based
default. Now the port-based default FID only corresponds to standalone
ports, and FDB/MDB entries belong to the bridging service. So while in
the future, when the DSA API will support FDB isolation, we will have to
figure out the FID based on the bridge number, for now there's a single
bridging FID, so hardcode that.

Lastly, the tagger needs to check, when it is transmitting a VLAN
untagged skb, whether it is sending it towards a bridged or a standalone
port. When we see it is bridged we assume the bridge is VLAN-unaware.
Not because it cannot be VLAN-aware but:

- if we are transmitting from a VLAN-aware bridge we are likely doing so
  using TX forwarding offload. That code path guarantees that skbs have
  a vlan hwaccel tag in them, so we would not enter the "else" branch
  of the "if (skb-&gt;protocol == htons(ETH_P_8021Q))" condition.

- if we are transmitting on behalf of a VLAN-aware bridge but with no TX
  forwarding offload (no PVT support, out of space in the PVT, whatever),
  we would indeed be transmitting with VLAN 4095 instead of the bridge
  device's pvid. However we would be injecting a "From CPU" frame, and
  the switch won't learn from that - it only learns from "Forward" frames.
  So it is inconsequential for address learning. And VLAN 4095 is
  absolutely enough for the frame to exit the switch, since we never
  remove that VLAN from any port.

<title>net: dsa: tag_dsa: send packets with TX fwd offload from VLAN-unaware bridges using VID 0</title>

The present code is structured this way due to an incomplete thought
process. In Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst we document that if a
bridge is VLAN-unaware, then the presence or lack of a pvid on a bridge
port (or on the bridge itself, for that matter) should not affect the
ability to receive and transmit tagged or untagged packets.

If the bridge on behalf of which we are sending this packet is
VLAN-aware, then the TX forwarding offload API ensures that the skb will
be VLAN-tagged (if the packet was sent by user space as untagged, it
will get transmitted town to the driver as tagged with the bridge
device's pvid). But if the bridge is VLAN-unaware, it may or may not be
VLAN-tagged. In fact the logic to insert the bridge's PVID came from the
idea that we should emulate what is being done in the VLAN-aware case.
But we shouldn't.

It appears that injecting packets using a VLAN ID of 0 serves the
purpose of forwarding the packets to the egress port with no VLAN tag
added or stripped by the hardware, and no filtering being performed.
So we can simply remove the superfluous logic.

One reason why this logic is broken is that when CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING=n,
we call br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() but that returns an error and we do error
out, dropping all packets on xmit. Not really smart. This is also an
issue when the user deletes the bridge pvid:

$ bridge vlan del dev br0 vid 1 self

As mentioned, in both cases, packets should still flow freely, and they
do just that on any net device where the bridge is not offloaded, but on
mv88e6xxx they don't.
