net: dsa: felix: fix broken VLAN-tagged PTP under VLAN-aware bridge
Normally it is expected that the dsa_device_ops :: rcv() method finishes parsing the DSA tag and consumes it, then never looks at it again. But commit |

Pass a single argument to dsa_8021q_rx_vid and dsa_8021q_tx_vid that contains the necessary information from the two arguments that are currently provided: the switch and the port number. Also rename those functions so that they have a dsa_port_* prefix, since they operate on a struct dsa_port *. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: dsa: tag_ocelot_8021q: break circular dependency with ocelot switch lib
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.

net: dsa: tag_ocelot: break circular dependency with ocelot switch lib driver
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->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 |

net: dsa: sja1105: break dependency between dsa_port_is_sja1105 and switch driver
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->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.

net: dsa: move sja1110_process_meta_tstamp inside the tagging protocol driver
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.

net: dsa: sja1105: drop untagged packets on the CPU and DSA ports
The sja1105 driver is a bit special in its use of VLAN headers as DSA tags. This is because in VLAN-aware mode, the VLAN headers use an actual TPID of 0x8100, which is understood even by the DSA master as an actual VLAN header. Furthermore, control packets such as PTP and STP are transmitted with no VLAN header as a DSA tag, because, depending on switch generation, there are ways to steer these control packets towards a precise egress port other than VLAN tags. Transmitting control packets as untagged means leaving a door open for traffic in general to be transmitted as untagged from the DSA master, and for it to traverse the switch and exit a random switch port according to the FDB lookup. This behavior is a bit out of line with other DSA drivers which have native support for DSA tagging. There, it is to be expected that the switch only accepts DSA-tagged packets on its CPU port, dropping everything that does not match this pattern. We perhaps rely a bit too much on the switches' hardware dropping on the CPU port, and place no other restrictions in the kernel data path to avoid that. For example, sja1105 is also a bit special in that STP/PTP packets are transmitted using "management routes" (sja1105_port_deferred_xmit): when sending a link-local packet from the CPU, we must first write a SPI message to the switch to tell it to expect a packet towards multicast MAC DA 01-80-c2-00-00-0e, and to route it towards port 3 when it gets it. This entry expires as soon as it matches a packet received by the switch, and it needs to be reinstalled for the next packet etc. All in all quite a ghetto mechanism, but it is all that the sja1105 switches offer for injecting a control packet. The driver takes a mutex for serializing control packets and making the pairs of SPI writes of a management route and its associated skb atomic, but to be honest, a mutex is only relevant as long as all parties agree to take it. With the DSA design, it is possible to open an AF_PACKET socket on the DSA master net device, and blast packets towards 01-80-c2-00-00-0e, and whatever locking the DSA switch driver might use, it all goes kaput because management routes installed by the driver will match skbs sent by the DSA master, and not skbs generated by the driver itself. So they will end up being routed on the wrong port. So through the lens of that, maybe it would make sense to avoid that from happening by doing something in the network stack, like: introduce a new bit in struct sk_buff, like xmit_from_dsa. Then, somewhere around dev_hard_start_xmit(), introduce the following check: if (netdev_uses_dsa(dev) && !skb->xmit_from_dsa) kfree_skb(skb); Ok, maybe that is a bit drastic, but that would at least prevent a bunch of problems. For example, right now, even though the majority of DSA switches drop packets without DSA tags sent by the DSA master (and therefore the majority of garbage that user space daemons like avahi and udhcpcd and friends create), it is still conceivable that an aggressive user space program can open an AF_PACKET socket and inject a spoofed DSA tag directly on the DSA master. We have no protection against that; the packet will be understood by the switch and be routed wherever user space says. Furthermore: there are some DSA switches where we even have register access over Ethernet, using DSA tags. So even user space drivers are possible in this way. This is a huge hole. However, the biggest thing that bothers me is that udhcpcd attempts to ask for an IP address on all interfaces by default, and with sja1105, it will attempt to get a valid IP address on both the DSA master as well as on sja1105 switch ports themselves. So with IP addresses in the same subnet on multiple interfaces, the routing table will be messed up and the system will be unusable for traffic until it is configured manually to not ask for an IP address on the DSA master itself. It turns out that it is possible to avoid that in the sja1105 driver, at least very superficially, by requesting the switch to drop VLAN-untagged packets on the CPU port. With the exception of control packets, all traffic originated from tag_sja1105.c is already VLAN-tagged, so only STP and PTP packets need to be converted. For that, we need to uphold the equivalence between an untagged and a pvid-tagged packet, and to remember that the CPU port of sja1105 uses a pvid of 4095. Now that we drop untagged traffic on the CPU port, non-aggressive user space applications like udhcpcd stop bothering us, and sja1105 effectively becomes just as vulnerable to the aggressive kind of user space programs as other DSA switches are (ok, users can also create 8021q uppers on top of the DSA master in the case of sja1105, but in future patches we can easily deny that, but it still doesn't change the fact that VLAN-tagged packets can still be injected over raw sockets).

net: dsa: tag_sja1105: be dsa_loop-safe
Add support for tag_sja1105 running on non-sja1105 DSA ports, by making sure that every time we dereference dp->priv, we check the switch's dsa_switch_ops (otherwise we access a struct sja1105_port structure that is in fact something else). This adds an unconditional build-time dependency between sja1105 being built as module => tag_sja1105 must also be built as module. This was there only for PTP before. Some sane defaults must also take place when not running on sja1105 hardware. These are: - sja1105_xmit_tpid: the sja1105 driver uses different VLAN protocols depending on VLAN awareness and switch revision (when an encapsulated VLAN must be sent). Default to 0x8100. - sja1105_rcv_meta_state_machine: this aggregates PTP frames with their metadata timestamp frames. When running on non-sja1105 hardware, don't do that and accept all frames unmodified. - sja1105_defer_xmit: calls sja1105_port_deferred_xmit in sja1105_main.c which writes a management route over SPI.

net: dsa: sja1105: add bridge TX data plane offload based on tag_8021q
The main desire for having this feature in sja1105 is to support network stack termination for traffic coming from a VLAN-aware bridge. For sja1105, offloading the bridge data plane means sending packets as-is, with the proper VLAN tag, to the chip. The chip will look up its FDB and forward them to the correct destination port. But we support bridge data plane offload even for VLAN-unaware bridges, and the implementation there is different. In fact, VLAN-unaware bridging is governed by tag_8021q, so it makes sense to have the .bridge_fwd_offload_add() implementation fully within tag_8021q. The key difference is that we only support 1 VLAN-aware bridge, but we support multiple VLAN-unaware bridges. So we need to make sure that the forwarding domain is not crossed by packets injected from the stack. For this, we introduce the concept of a tag_8021q TX VLAN for bridge forwarding offload. As opposed to the regular TX VLANs which contain only 2 ports (the user port and the CPU port), a bridge data plane TX VLAN is "multicast" (or "imprecise"): it contains all the ports that are part of a certain bridge, and the hardware will select where the packet goes within this "imprecise" forwarding domain. Each VLAN-unaware bridge has its own "imprecise" TX VLAN, so we make use of the unique "bridge_num" provided by DSA for the data plane offload. We use the same 3 bits from the tag_8021q VLAN ID format to encode this bridge number. Note that these 3 bit positions have been used before for sub-VLANs in best-effort VLAN filtering mode. The difference is that for best-effort, the sub-VLANs were only valid on RX (and it was documented that the sub-VLAN field needed to be transmitted as zero). Whereas for the bridge data plane offload, these 3 bits are only valid on TX. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

net: dsa: tag_8021q: add proper cross-chip notifier support
The big problem which mandates cross-chip notifiers for tag_8021q is
this:
|
sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw0p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ cpu ]
|
+---------+
|
sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ]
|
+---------+
|
sw2p0 sw2p1 sw2p2 sw2p3 sw2p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ]
When the user runs:
ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link set sw0p0 master br0
ip link set sw2p0 master br0
It doesn't work.
This is because dsa_8021q_crosschip_bridge_join() assumes that "ds" and
"other_ds" are at most 1 hop away from each other, so it is sufficient
to add the RX VLAN of {ds, port} into {other_ds, other_port} and vice
versa and presto, the cross-chip link works. When there is another
switch in the middle, such as in this case switch 1 with its DSA links
sw1p3 and sw1p4, somebody needs to tell it about these VLANs too.
Which is exactly why the problem is quadratic: when a port joins a
bridge, for each port in the tree that's already in that same bridge we
notify a tag_8021q VLAN addition of that port's RX VLAN to the entire
tree. It is a very complicated web of VLANs.
It must be mentioned that currently we install tag_8021q VLANs on too
many ports (DSA links - to be precise, on all of them). For example,
when sw2p0 joins br0, and assuming sw1p0 was part of br0 too, we add the
RX VLAN of sw2p0 on the DSA links of switch 0 too, even though there
isn't any port of switch 0 that is a member of br0 (at least yet).
In theory we could notify only the switches which sit in between the
port joining the bridge and the port reacting to that bridge_join event.
But in practice that is impossible, because of the way 'link' properties
are described in the device tree. The DSA bindings require DT writers to
list out not only the real/physical DSA links, but in fact the entire
routing table, like for example switch 0 above will have:
sw0p3: port@3 {
link = <&sw1p4 &sw2p4>;
};
This was done because:
/* TODO: ideally DSA ports would have a single dp->link_dp member,
* and no dst->rtable nor this struct dsa_link would be needed,
* but this would require some more complex tree walking,
* so keep it stupid at the moment and list them all.
*/
but it is a perfect example of a situation where too much information is
actively detrimential, because we are now in the position where we
cannot distinguish a real DSA link from one that is put there to avoid
the 'complex tree walking'. And because DT is ABI, there is not much we
can change.
And because we do not know which DSA links are real and which ones
aren't, we can't really know if DSA switch A is in the data path between
switches B and C, in the general case.
So this is why tag_8021q RX VLANs are added on all DSA links, and
probably why it will never change.
On the other hand, at least the number of additions/deletions is well
balanced, and this means that once we implement reference counting at
the cross-chip notifier level a la fdb/mdb, there is absolutely zero
need for a struct dsa_8021q_crosschip_link, it's all self-managing.
In fact, with the tag_8021q notifiers emitted from the bridge join
notifiers, it becomes so generic that sja1105 does not need to do
anything anymore, we can just delete its implementation of the
.crosschip_bridge_{join,leave} methods.
Among other things we can simply delete is the home-grown implementation
of sja1105_notify_crosschip_switches(). The reason why that is wrong is
because it is not quadratic - it only covers remote switches to which we
have a cross-chip bridging link and that does not cover in-between
switches. This deletion is part of the same patch because sja1105 used
to poke deep inside the guts of the tag_8021q context in order to do
that. Because the cross-chip links went away, so needs the sja1105 code.
Last but not least, dsa_8021q_setup_port() is simplified (and also
renamed). Because our TAG_8021Q_VLAN_ADD notifier is designed to react
on the CPU port too, the four dsa_8021q_vid_apply() calls:
- 1 for RX VLAN on user port
- 1 for the user port's RX VLAN on the CPU port
- 1 for TX VLAN on user port
- 1 for the user port's TX VLAN on the CPU port
now get squashed into only 2 notifier calls via
dsa_port_tag_8021q_vlan_add.
And because the notifiers to add and to delete a tag_8021q VLAN are
distinct, now we finally break up the port setup and teardown into
separate functions instead of relying on a "bool enabled" flag which
tells us what to do. Arguably it should have been this way from the
get go.

net: dsa: tag_8021q: absorb dsa_8021q_setup into dsa_tag_8021q_{,un}register
Right now, setting up tag_8021q is a 2-step operation for a driver, first the context structure needs to be created, then the VLANs need to be installed on the ports. A similar thing is true for teardown. Merge the 2 steps into the register/unregister methods, to be as transparent as possible for the driver as to what tag_8021q does behind the scenes. This also gets rid of the funny "bool setup == true means setup, == false means teardown" API that tag_8021q used to expose. Note that dsa_tag_8021q_register() must be called at least in the .setup() driver method and never earlier (like in the driver probe function). This is because the DSA switch tree is not initialized at probe time, and the cross-chip notifiers will not work. For symmetry with .setup(), the unregister method should be put in .teardown().

net: dsa: let the core manage the tag_8021q context
The basic problem description is as follows:
Be there 3 switches in a daisy chain topology:
|
sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw0p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ cpu ]
|
+---------+
|
sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ]
|
+---------+
|
sw2p0 sw2p1 sw2p2 sw2p3 sw2p4
[ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ]
The CPU will not be able to ping through the user ports of the
bottom-most switch (like for example sw2p0), simply because tag_8021q
was not coded up for this scenario - it has always assumed DSA switch
trees with a single switch.
To add support for the topology above, we must admit that the RX VLAN of
sw2p0 must be added on some ports of switches 0 and 1 as well. This is
in fact a textbook example of thing that can use the cross-chip notifier
framework that DSA has set up in switch.c.
There is only one problem: core DSA (switch.c) is not able right now to
make the connection between a struct dsa_switch *ds and a struct
dsa_8021q_context *ctx. Right now, it is drivers who call into
tag_8021q.c and always provide a struct dsa_8021q_context *ctx pointer,
and tag_8021q.c calls them back with the .tag_8021q_vlan_{add,del}
methods.
But with cross-chip notifiers, it is possible for tag_8021q to call
drivers without drivers having ever asked for anything. A good example
is right above: when sw2p0 wants to set itself up for tag_8021q,
the .tag_8021q_vlan_add method needs to be called for switches 1 and 0,
so that they transport sw2p0's VLANs towards the CPU without dropping
them.
So instead of letting drivers manage the tag_8021q context, add a
tag_8021q_ctx pointer inside of struct dsa_switch, which will be
populated when dsa_tag_8021q_register() returns success.
The patch is fairly long-winded because we are partly reverting commit

net: dsa: tag_8021q: create dsa_tag_8021q_{register,unregister} helpers
In preparation of moving tag_8021q to core DSA, move all initialization and teardown related to tag_8021q which is currently done by drivers in 2 functions called "register" and "unregister". These will gather more functionality in future patches, which will better justify the chosen naming scheme. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

net: dsa: sja1105: delete the best_effort_vlan_filtering mode
Simply put, the best-effort VLAN filtering mode relied on VLAN retagging from a bridge VLAN towards a tag_8021q sub-VLAN in order to be able to decode the source port in the tagger, but the VLAN retagging implementation inside the sja1105 chips is not the best and we were relying on marginal operating conditions. The most notable limitation of the best-effort VLAN filtering mode is its incapacity to treat this case properly: ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 ip link set swp2 master br0 ip link set swp4 master br0 bridge vlan del dev swp4 vid 1 bridge vlan add dev swp4 vid 1 pvid When sending an untagged packet through swp2, the expectation is for it to be forwarded to swp4 as egress-tagged (so it will contain VLAN ID 1 on egress). But the switch will send it as egress-untagged. There was an attempt to fix this here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210407201452.1703261-2-olteanv@gmail.com/ but it failed miserably because it broke PTP RX timestamping, in a way that cannot be corrected due to hardware issues related to VLAN retagging. So with either PTP broken or pushing VLAN headers on egress for untagged packets being broken, the sad reality is that the best-effort VLAN filtering code is broken. Delete it. Note that this means there will be a temporary loss of functionality in this driver until it is replaced with something better (network stack RX/TX capability for "mode 2" as described in Documentation/networking/dsa/sja1105.rst, the "port under VLAN-aware bridge" case). We simply cannot keep this code until that driver rework is done, it is super bloated and tangled with tag_8021q. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
