Unlike sja1105, the only other user of the software-defined tag_8021q.c
tagger format, the implementation we choose for the Felix DSA switch
driver preserves full functionality under a vlan_filtering bridge
(i.e. IP termination works through the DSA user ports under all
circumstances).
The tag_8021q protocol just wants:
- Identifying the ingress switch port based on the RX VLAN ID, as seen
by the CPU. We achieve this by using the TCAM engines (which are also
used for tc-flower offload) to push the RX VLAN as a second, outer
tag, on egress towards the CPU port.
- Steering traffic injected into the switch from the network stack
towards the correct front port based on the TX VLAN, and consuming
(popping) that header on the switch's egress.
A tc-flower pseudocode of the static configuration done by the driver
would look like this:
$ tc qdisc add dev <cpu-port> clsact
$ for eth in swp0 swp1 swp2 swp3; do \
tc filter add dev <cpu-port> egress flower indev ${eth} \
action vlan push id <rxvlan> protocol 802.1ad; \
tc filter add dev <cpu-port> ingress protocol 802.1Q flower
vlan_id <txvlan> action vlan pop \
action mirred egress redirect dev ${eth}; \
done
but of course since DSA does not register network interfaces for the CPU
port, this configuration would be impossible for the user to do. Also,
due to the same reason, it is impossible for the user to inadvertently
delete these rules using tc. These rules do not collide in any way with
tc-flower, they just consume some TCAM space, which is something we can
live with.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
