DSA tagger-owned storage fixups
It seems that the DSA tagger-owned storage changes were insufficiently
tested and do not work in all cases. Specifically, the NXP Bluebox 3
(arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-lx2160a-bluebox3.dts) got broken by
these changes, because
(a) I forgot that DSA_TAG_PROTO_SJA1110 exists and differs from
DSA_TAG_PROTO_SJA1105
(b) the Bluebox 3 uses a DSA switch tree with 2 switches, and the
tagger-owned storage patches don't cover that use case well, it
seems
Therefore, I'm sorry to say that there needs to be an API fixup: tagging
protocol drivers will from now on connect to individual switches from a
tree, rather than to the tree as a whole. This is more robust against
various ordering constraints in the DSA probe and teardown paths, and is
also symmetrical with the connection API exposed to the switch drivers
themselves, which is also per switch.
With these changes, the Bluebox 3 also works fine.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
On the NXP Bluebox 3 board which uses a multi-switch setup with sja1105,
the mechanism through which the tagger connects to the switch tree is
broken, due to improper DSA code design. At the time when tag_ops->connect()
is called in dsa_port_parse_cpu(), DSA hasn't finished "touching" all
the ports, so it doesn't know how large the tree is and how many ports
it has. It has just seen the first CPU port by this time. As a result,
this function will call the tagger's ->connect method too early, and the
tagger will connect only to the first switch from the tree.
This could be perhaps addressed a bit more simply by just moving the
tag_ops->connect(dst) call a bit later (for example in dsa_tree_setup),
but there is already a design inconsistency at present: on the switch
side, the notification is on a per-switch basis, but on the tagger side,
it is on a per-tree basis. Furthermore, the persistent storage itself is
per switch (ds->tagger_data). And the tagger connect and disconnect
procedures (at least the ones that exist currently) could see a fair bit
of simplification if they didn't have to iterate through the switches of
a tree.
To fix the issue, this change transforms tag_ops->connect(dst) into
tag_ops->connect(ds) and moves it somewhere where we already iterate
over all switches of a tree. That is in dsa_switch_setup_tag_protocol(),
which is a good placement because we already have there the connection
call to the switch side of things.
As for the dsa_tree_bind_tag_proto() method (called from the code path
that changes the tag protocol), things are a bit more complicated
because we receive the tree as argument, yet when we unwind on errors,
it would be nice to not call tag_ops->disconnect(ds) where we didn't
previously call tag_ops->connect(ds). We didn't have this problem before
because the tag_ops connection operations passed the entire dst before,
and this is more fine grained now. To solve the error rewind case using
the new API, we have to create yet one more cross-chip notifier for
disconnection, and stay connected with the old tag protocol to all the
switches in the tree until we've succeeded to connect with the new one
as well. So if something fails half way, the whole tree is still
connected to the old tagger. But there may still be leaks if the tagger
fails to connect to the 2nd out of 3 switches in a tree: somebody needs
to tell the tagger to disconnect from the first switch. Nothing comes
for free, and this was previously handled privately by the tagging
protocol driver before, but now we need to emit a disconnect cross-chip
notifier for that, because DSA has to take care of the unwind path. We
assume that the tagging protocol has connected to a switch if it has set
ds->tagger_data to something, otherwise we avoid calling its
disconnection method in the error rewind path.
The rest of the changes are in the tagging protocol drivers, and have to
do with the replacement of dst with ds. The iteration is removed and the
error unwind path is simplified, as mentioned above.

This patch enables the "/proc/sys/net/unix/max_dgram_qlen" sysctl to be
exposed to non-init user namespaces. max_dgram_qlen is used as the default
"sk_max_ack_backlog" value for when a unix socket is created.
Currently, when a networking namespace is initialized, its unix sysctls
are exposed only if the user namespace that "owns" it is the init user
namespace. If there is an non-init user namespace that "owns" a networking
namespace (for example, in the case after we call clone() with both
CLONE_NEWUSER and CLONE_NEWNET set), the sysctls are hidden from view
and not configurable.
Exposing the unix sysctl is safe because any changes made to it will be
limited in scope to the networking namespace the non-init user namespace
"owns" and has privileges over (changes won't affect any other net
namespace). There is also no possibility of a non-privileged user namespace
messing up the net namespace sysctls it shares with its parent user namespace.
When a new user namespace is created without unsharing the network namespace
(eg calling clone() with CLONE_NEWUSER), the new user namespace shares its
parent's network namespace. Write access is protected by the mode set
in the sysctl's ctl_table (and enforced by procfs). Here in the case of
"max_dgram_qlen", 0644 is set; only the user owner has write access.

Replace DSA dp->priv with tagger-owned storage
Ansuel's recent work on qca8k register access over Ethernet:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20211207145942.7444-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com/
has triggered me to do something which I should've done for a longer

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20211109095013.27829-7-martin.kaistra@linutronix.de/#24585521
which is to replace dp->priv with something that has less caveats.
The dp->priv was introduced when sja1105 needed to hold stateful
information in the tagging protocol driver. In that design, dp->priv
held memory allocated by the switch driver, because the tagging protocol
driver design was 100% stateless.
Some years have passed and others have started to feel the need for
stateful information kept by the tagger, as well as passing data back
and forth between the tagging protocol driver and the switch driver.
This isn't possible cleanly in DSA due to a circular dependency which
leads to broken module autoloading:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
This patchset introduces a framework that resembles something normal,
which allows data to be passed from the tagging protocol driver (things
like switch management packets, which aren't intended for the network
stack) to the switch driver, while the tagging protocol still remains
more or less stateless. The overall design of the framework was
discussed with Ansuel too and it appears to be flexible enough to cover
the "register access over Ethernet" use case. Additionally, the existing
uses of dp->priv, which have mainly to do with PTP timestamping, have
also been migrated.

The sja1105 driver messes with the tagging protocol's state when PTP RX
timestamping is enabled/disabled. This is fundamentally necessary
because the tagger needs to know what to do when it receives a PTP
packet. If RX timestamping is enabled, then a metadata follow-up frame
is expected, and this holds the (partial) timestamp. So the tagger plays
hide-and-seek with the network stack until it also gets the metadata
frame, and then presents a single packet, the timestamped PTP packet.
But when RX timestamping isn't enabled, there is no metadata frame
expected, so the hide-and-seek game must be turned off and the packet
must be delivered right away to the network stack.
Considering this, we create a pseudo isolation by devising two tagger
methods callable by the switch: one to get the RX timestamping state,
and one to set it. Since we can't export symbols between the tagger and
the switch driver, these methods are exposed through function pointers.
After this change, the public portion of the sja1105_tagger_data
contains only function pointers.

This reverts commit 6d709cadfd.
The above change was done to avoid calling symbols exported by the
switch driver from the tagging protocol driver.
With the tagger-owned storage model, we have a new option on our hands,
and that is for the switch driver to provide a data consumer handler in
the form of a function pointer inside the ->connect_tag_protocol()
method. Having a function pointer avoids the problems of the exported
symbols approach.
By creating a handler for metadata frames holding TX timestamps on
SJA1110, we are able to eliminate an skb queue from the tagger data, and
replace it with a simple, and stateless, function pointer. This skb
queue is now handled exclusively by sja1105_ptp.c, which makes the code
easier to follow, as it used to be before the reverted patch.

When the ocelot-8021q driver was converted to deferred xmit as part of
commit 8d5f7954b7 ("net: dsa: felix: break at first CPU port during
init and teardown"), the deferred implementation was deliberately made
subtly different from what sja1105 has.
The implementation differences lied on the following observations:
- There might be a race between these two lines in tag_sja1105.c:
skb_queue_tail(&sp->xmit_queue, skb_get(skb));
kthread_queue_work(sp->xmit_worker, &sp->xmit_work);
and the skb dequeue logic in sja1105_port_deferred_xmit(). For
example, the xmit_work might be already queued, however the work item
has just finished walking through the skb queue. Because we don't
check the return code from kthread_queue_work, we don't do anything if
the work item is already queued.
However, nobody will take that skb and send it, at least until the
next timestampable skb is sent. This creates additional (and
avoidable) TX timestamping latency.
To close that race, what the ocelot-8021q driver does is it doesn't
keep a single work item per port, and a skb timestamping queue, but
rather dynamically allocates a work item per packet.
- It is also unnecessary to have more than one kthread that does the
work. So delete the per-port kthread allocations and replace them with
a single kthread which is global to the switch.
This change brings the two implementations in line by applying those
observations to the sja1105 driver as well.

This code is not necessary and complicates the conversion of this driver
to tagger-owned memory. If there is a PTP packet that is sent
concurrently with the port getting disabled, the deferred xmit mechanism
is robust enough to time out when it sees that it hasn't been delivered,
and recovers.
