net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from or is intended to be sent to. The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch looks something like this: +-----------+ +-----------+ | | RGMII | | | +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN") | | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1") | CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2") | |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3") | +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4") | | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces. This initial patch supports the MII management interface register layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format. (There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and everything will continue to work.)

net: dsa: Optional VLAN-based port separation for switches without tagging This patch provides generic DSA code for using VLAN (802.1Q) tags for the same purpose as a dedicated switch tag for injection/extraction. It is based on the discussions and interest that has been so far expressed in https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg556125.html. Unlike all other DSA-supported tagging protocols, CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q does not offer a complete solution for drivers (nor can it). Instead, it provides generic code that driver can opt into calling: - dsa_8021q_xmit: Inserts a VLAN header with the specified contents. Can be called from another tagging protocol's xmit function. Currently the LAN9303 driver is inserting headers that are simply 802.1Q with custom fields, so this is an opportunity for code reuse. - dsa_8021q_rcv: Retrieves the TPID and TCI from a VLAN-tagged skb. Removing the VLAN header is left as a decision for the caller to make. - dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging: For each user port, installs an Rx VID and a Tx VID, for proper untagged traffic identification on ingress and steering on egress. Also sets up the VLAN trunk on the upstream (CPU or DSA) port. Drivers are intentionally left to call this function explicitly, depending on the context and hardware support. The expected switch behavior and VLAN semantics should not be violated under any conditions. That is, after calling dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging, the hardware should still pass all ingress traffic, be it tagged or untagged. For uniformity with the other tagging protocols, a module for the dsa_8021q_netdev_ops structure is registered, but the typical usage is to set up another tagging protocol which selects CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q, and calls the API from tag_8021q.h. Null function definitions are also provided so that a "depends on" is not forced in the Kconfig. This tagging protocol only works when switch ports are standalone, or when they are added to a VLAN-unaware bridge. It will probably remain this way for the reasons below. When added to a bridge that has vlan_filtering 1, the bridge core will install its own VLANs and reset the pvids through switchdev. For the bridge core, switchdev is a write-only pipe. All VLAN-related state is kept in the bridge core and nothing is read from DSA/switchdev or from the driver. So the bridge core will break this port separation because it will install the vlan_default_pvid into all switchdev ports. Even if we could teach the bridge driver about switchdev preference of a certain vlan_default_pvid (task difficult in itself since the current setting is per-bridge but we would need it per-port), there would still exist many other challenges. Firstly, in the DSA rcv callback, a driver would have to perform an iterative reverse lookup to find the correct switch port. That is because the port is a bridge slave, so its Rx VID (port PVID) is subject to user configuration. How would we ensure that the user doesn't reset the pvid to a different value (which would make an O(1) translation impossible), or to a non-unique value within this DSA switch tree (which would make any translation impossible)? Finally, not all switch ports are equal in DSA, and that makes it difficult for the bridge to be completely aware of this anyway. The CPU port needs to transmit tagged packets (VLAN trunk) in order for the DSA rcv code to be able to decode source information. But the bridge code has absolutely no idea which switch port is the CPU port, if nothing else then just because there is no netdevice registered by DSA for the CPU port. Also DSA does not currently allow the user to specify that they want the CPU port to do VLAN trunking anyway. VLANs are added to the CPU port using the same flags as they were added on the user port. So the VLANs installed by dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging per driver request should remain private from the bridge's and user's perspective, and should not alter the VLAN semantics observed by the user. In the current implementation a VLAN range ending at 4095 (VLAN_N_VID) is reserved for this purpose. Each port receives a unique Rx VLAN and a unique Tx VLAN. Separate VLANs are needed for Rx and Tx because they serve different purposes: on Rx the switch must process traffic as untagged and process it with a port-based VLAN, but with care not to hinder bridging. On the other hand, the Tx VLAN is where the reachability restrictions are imposed, since by tagging frames in the xmit callback we are telling the switch onto which port to steer the frame. Some general guidance on how this support might be employed for real-life hardware (some comments made by Florian Fainelli): - If the hardware supports VLAN tag stacking, it should somehow back up its private VLAN settings when the bridge tries to override them. Then the driver could re-apply them as outer tags. Dedicating an outer tag per bridge device would allow identical inner tag VID numbers to co-exist, yet preserve broadcast domain isolation. - If the switch cannot handle VLAN tag stacking, it should disable this port separation when added as slave to a vlan_filtering bridge, in that case having reduced functionality. - Drivers for old switches that don't support the entire VLAN_N_VID range will need to rework the current range selection mechanism.
