[PATCH net-next 0/6] mv88e6xxx broadcast flooding in hardware

[Andrew Lunn]

This patchset makes the mv88e6xxx driver perform flooding in hardware,
rather than let the software bridge perform the flooding. This is a
prerequisite for IGMP snooping on the bridge interface.

In order to make hardware broadcasting work, a few other issues need
fixing or improving. SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID is broken, which
is apparent when testing on the ZII devel board with multiple
switches.

Some of these patches are taken from a previous RFC patchset of IGMP
support. Hence the v2 comments...

[PATCH net-next 1/6] net: dsa: Fix SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID

[Andrew Lunn]

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID is used by the software bridge when
determining which ports to flood a packet out. If the packet
originated from a switch, it assumes the switch has already flooded
the packet out the switches ports, so the bridge should not flood the
packet itself out switch ports. Ports on the same switch are expected
to return the same parent ID when SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID is
called.

DSA gets this wrong with clusters of switches. As far as the software
bridge is concerned, the cluster is all one switch. A packet from any
switch in the cluster can be assumed to of been flooded as needed out
all ports of the cluster, not just the switch it originated
from. Hence all ports of a cluster should return the same parent. The
old implementation did not, each switch in the cluster had its own ID.

Also wrong was that the ID was not unique if multiple DSA instances
are in operation.

Use the tree ID as the parent ID, which is the same for all switches
in a cluster and unique across switch clusters.

[PATCH net-next 2/6] net: dsa: {e}dsa: set offload_fwd_mark on received packets

[Andrew Lunn]

The software bridge needs to know if a packet has already been bridged
by hardware offload to ports in the same hardware offload, in order
that it does not re-flood them, causing duplicates. This is
particularly true for broadcast and multicast traffic which the host
has requested.

By setting offload_fwd_mark in the skb the bridge will only flood to
ports in other offloads and other netifs. Set this flag in the DSA and
EDSA tag driver.

For the moment, do this in the tag drivers, not the generic code.
Once we get more test results from other switches, maybe move it back
again.

[PATCH net-next 3/6] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fixed port netdev check for VLANs

[Andrew Lunn]

Having the same VLAN on multiple bridges is currently unsupported as
an offload. mv88e6xxx_port_check_hw_vlan() is used to ensure that a
VLAN is not on multiple bridges when adding a VLAN range to a port. It
loops the ports and checks to see if there are ports in a different
bridge with the same VLAN.

While walking all switch ports, the code was checking if the new port
has a netdev attached to it. If not, skip checking the port being
walked. This seems like a typ0. If the new port does not have a
netdev, how has a VLAN been added to it in the first place, requiring
this check be performed at all? More likely, we should be checking if
the port being walked has a netdev. Without it having a netdev, it
cannot have a VLAN on it, so there is no need to check further for
that particular port.

[Andrew Lunn]

When testing if a VLAN is one more than one bridge, we print an error
message that the VLAN is already in use somewhere else. Print both the
new port which would like the VLAN, and the port which already has it,
to aid debugging.

[PATCH net-next 6/6] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Flood broadcast frames in hardware

[Andrew Lunn]

By default, the switch does not flood broadcast frames. Instead the
broadcast address is unknown in the ATU, so the frame gets forwarded
out the cpu port. The software bridge then floods it back to the
individual switch ports which are members of the bridge.

Add an ATU entry in the switch so that it floods broadcast frames out
ports, rather than have the software bridge do it. Also, send a copy
out the cpu port and any dsa ports. Rely on the port vectors to
prevent broadcast frames leaking between bridges, and separated ports.

Additionally, when a VLAN is added, a new FID is allocated.  This
represents a new table of ATU entries. A broadcast entry is added to
the new FID.

With offload_fwd_mark being set, the software bridge will not flood
the frames it receives back to the switch.

Just a nit pick since you are going to respin this anyways:

seems to be the canonical way to express this in the kernel, so please
make "++port" into "port++"

I am pretty sure the kernel folks won't like blocks within case
statments. Simply declare dst = p->dp->ds->dst at the beginning.

Also keeping attr->u.ppid.id_len as memcpy's third argument like other

Please don't do this. This is not a valid coding style and has already
shown to be a bad example for other DSA drivers copying mv88e6xxx.

Simply declare u8 state = MV88E6XXX_G1_ATU_DATA_STATE_MC_STATIC above...

Adding the broadcast address to an Ethernet switch's FDB is pretty
generic and mv88e6xxx mustn't be the only driver doing this.

They do not have to care about the broadcast address, this is just a
standard MDB entry for them. This must be moved up to the DSA layer.

Adding the broadcast address in dsa_port_vlan_add and dsa_port_enable
like this should be enough: http://ix.io/AmS

Actually, it is. All the others seem to do this in hardware without
needing an FDB. Since mv88e6xxx is the only one requiring it, it has
to be done in the mv88e6xxx driver.

I have not had time to test Andrew's IGMP patch set on bcm_sf2/b53, but
while I agree that adding a broadcast address using a FDB entry is
generic in premise, we don't know yet whether other switch drivers need
that or not, so until we do, it seems like Andrew's approach is
appropriate here by keeping this local to mv88e6xxx.

What if I don't have CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING enabled, what happens
in that case, would not this result in not programming the broadcast
address?

Hi Florian

It took me a while to make this work with CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING
enabled. Any change to enable hardware flooding needs careful testing
for lots of different configurations. This is another reason i don't
want to do it at the DSA level, until we have a good understanding
what it means in each individual driver.

Adding the broadcast address from the DSA layer wouldn't hurt and make
things pretty obvious. This would also avoid drivers to get
unnecessarily complex. A .port_vlan_add implementation must remain
simple and mustn't do more than adding a VLAN entry.

Don't forget that we want the DSA drivers to be dump and have the core
logic of Ethernet switch handling resides in DSA core itself.

If some switch chips can flood broadcast without an FDB entry, good for
them, they can skip it. We will have the same issue for special L2
Multicast destination addresses, some switches have special bits to
consider them as management, some others don't and require to load the
ATU with them.

Regarding Marvell, what value do you have for the global FloodBC bit
(Global 2, offset 0x05)?

Then if we are worried about how broadcast flooding is handled on
different switches, we can provide a new .flood_broadcast(ds, vid)
switch operation for the drivers to implement.

We don't really have a good visibility on the number of switches
requiring special configuration for broadcast addresses nor how this
would have to happen so it would be a tad difficult to define an
appropriate API with a single user.

In general, single user "generic" facilities tend to be biased towards
their particular problem space (c.f: devlink) so a generic interface to
call into HW specific details does not usually sell well...

Is not there some kind of forwarding code/reason code being provided in
the EDSA/DSA tag that tell you why this packet was sent to the CPU in
the first place?

What is the impact on non-broadcast traffic, e.g: multicast and unicast?

Nit: I don't really have a solution on how to order patches, but until
the next 4 patches get in, I suppose we temporarily have broadcast
flooding by the bridge "broken"? Ordering in the opposite way would
probably result in an equally bad situation so...

Hi Florian

There are some codes, but nothing specific to broadcast, or ATU
misses. I'm also trying to keep the code generic so it could be a
template for other drivers. Many of the tagging schemes don't provide
a reason code. So i want that any frame that comes from the switch has
no need to go back to the switch. KISS.
 
> What is the impact on non-broadcast traffic, e.g: multicast and unicast?

The bridge uses this flag when flooding. unicast traffic from the
switch should not need flooding. Either it is known in the switch and
hence won't be forwarded to the host, or it is unknown in the switch,
so it probably is on some other interface.

My testing with multicast has not shown issues. The switch pushes down
mdb entries, which causes frames to be replicated out ports. So again,
there should not be a need to pass the frame back to the switch. But
it is possible i missed a corner case or two...

Yes, it is an issue. I could put this patch last. We then get
duplication of broadcast...

Which is the lesser of two evils?

Yes, i agree with this. We should wait before adding a generic
solution. I want to wait until a few drivers do whatever is needed for
hardware broadcast. We can then see what is common, and what is
different, find an API to suit and do some refactoring.
