net: dsa: stop overriding master's ndo_get_phys_port_name

2020-07-23T22:14:58+00:00

The purpose of this override is to give the user an indication of what
the number of the CPU port is (in DSA, the CPU port is a hardware
implementation detail and not a network interface capable of traffic).

However, it has always failed (by design) at providing this information
to the user in a reliable fashion.

Prior to commit 3369afba1e46 ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops
wrappers"), the behavior was to only override this callback if it was
not provided by the DSA master.

That was its first failure: if the DSA master itself was a DSA port or a
switchdev, then the user would not see the number of the CPU port in
/sys/class/net/eth0/phys_port_name, but the number of the DSA master
port within its respective physical switch.

But that was actually ok in a way. The commit mentioned above changed
that behavior, and now overrides the master's ndo_get_phys_port_name
unconditionally. That comes with problems of its own, which are worse in
a way.

The idea is that it's typical for switchdev users to have udev rules for
consistent interface naming. These are based, among other things, on
the phys_port_name attribute. If we let the DSA switch at the bottom
to start randomly overriding ndo_get_phys_port_name with its own CPU
port, we basically lose any predictability in interface naming, or even
uniqueness, for that matter.

So, there are reasons to let DSA override the master's callback (to
provide a consistent interface, a number which has a clear meaning and
must not be interpreted according to context), and there are reasons to
not let DSA override it (it breaks udev matching for the DSA master).

But, there is an alternative method for users to retrieve the number of
the CPU port of each DSA switch in the system:

  $ devlink port
  pci/0000:00:00.5/0: type eth netdev swp0 flavour physical port 0
  pci/0000:00:00.5/2: type eth netdev swp2 flavour physical port 2
  pci/0000:00:00.5/4: type notset flavour cpu port 4
  spi/spi2.0/0: type eth netdev sw0p0 flavour physical port 0
  spi/spi2.0/1: type eth netdev sw0p1 flavour physical port 1
  spi/spi2.0/2: type eth netdev sw0p2 flavour physical port 2
  spi/spi2.0/4: type notset flavour cpu port 4
  spi/spi2.1/0: type eth netdev sw1p0 flavour physical port 0
  spi/spi2.1/1: type eth netdev sw1p1 flavour physical port 1
  spi/spi2.1/2: type eth netdev sw1p2 flavour physical port 2
  spi/spi2.1/3: type eth netdev sw1p3 flavour physical port 3
  spi/spi2.1/4: type notset flavour cpu port 4

So remove this duplicated, unreliable and troublesome method. From this
patch on, the phys_port_name attribute of the DSA master will only
contain information about itself (if at all). If the users need reliable
information about the CPU port they're probably using devlink anyway.

net: dsa: use the ETH_MIN_MTU and ETH_DATA_LEN default values

2020-07-21T01:35:04+00:00

Now that DSA supports MTU configuration, undo the effects of commit
8b1efc0f83f1 ("net: remove MTU limits on a few ether_setup callers") and
let DSA interfaces use the default min_mtu and max_mtu specified by
ether_setup(). This is more important for min_mtu: since DSA is
Ethernet, the minimum MTU is the same as of any other Ethernet
interface, and definitely not zero. For the max_mtu, we have a callback
through which drivers can override that, if they want to.

net: dsa: Setup dsa_netdev_ops

Now that we have all the infrastructure in place for calling into the
dsa_ptr->netdev_ops function pointers, install them when we configure
the DSA CPU/management interface and tear them down. The flow is
unchanged from before, but now we preserve equality of tests when
network device drivers do tests like dev->netdev_ops == &foo_ops which
was not the case before since we were allocating an entirely new
structure.

net: dsa: felix: create a template for the DSA tags on xmit

2020-07-14T00:40:01+00:00

With this patch we try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

First of all, some switches that use tag_ocelot.c don't have the exact
same bitfield layout for the DSA tags. The destination ports field is
different for Seville VSC9953 for example. So the choices are to either
duplicate tag_ocelot.c into a new tag_seville.c (sub-optimal) or somehow
take into account a supposed ocelot->dest_ports_offset when packing this
field into the DSA injection header (again not ideal).

Secondly, tag_ocelot.c already needs to memset a 128-bit area to zero
and call some packing() functions of dubious performance in the
fastpath. And most of the values it needs to pack are pretty much
constant (BYPASS=1, SRC_PORT=CPU, DEST=port index). So it would be good
if we could improve that.

The proposed solution is to allocate a memory area per port at probe
time, initialize that with the statically defined bits as per chip
hardware revision, and just perform a simpler memcpy in the fastpath.

Other alternatives have been analyzed, such as:
- Create a separate tag_seville.c: too much code duplication for just 1
  bit field difference.
- Create a separate DSA_TAG_PROTO_SEVILLE under tag_ocelot.c, just like
  tag_brcm.c, which would have a separate .xmit function. Again, too
  much code duplication for just 1 bit field difference.
- Allocate the template from the init function of the tag_ocelot.c
  module, instead of from the driver: couldn't figure out a method of
  accessing the correct port template corresponding to the correct
  tagger in the .xmit function.

net: dsa: tag_rtl4_a: Implement Realtek 4 byte A tag

2020-07-08T22:36:19+00:00

This implements the known parts of the Realtek 4 byte
tag protocol version 0xA, as found in the RTL8366RB
DSA switch.

It is designated as protocol version 0xA as a
different Realtek 4 byte tag format with protocol
version 0x9 is known to exist in the Realtek RTL8306
chips.

The tag and switch chip lacks public documentation, so
the tag format has been reverse-engineered from
packet dumps. As only ingress traffic has been available
for analysis an egress tag has not been possible to
develop (even using educated guesses about bit fields)
so this is as far as it gets. It is not known if the
switch even supports egress tagging.

Excessive attempts to figure out the egress tag format
was made. When nothing else worked, I just tried all bit
combinations with 0xannp where a is protocol and p is
port. I looped through all values several times trying
to get a response from ping, without any positive
result.

Using just these ingress tags however, the switch
functionality is vastly improved and the packets find
their way into the destination port without any
tricky VLAN configuration. On the D-Link DIR-685 the
LAN ports now come up and respond to ping without
any command line configuration so this is a real
improvement for users.

Egress packets need to be restricted to the proper
target ports using VLAN, which the RTL8366RB DSA
switch driver already sets up.
