VLAN ID 0 is special by all kinds and is really meant to be the default
ingress and egress untagged VLAN. We were not configuring it that way
and so we would be ingress untagged but egress tagged.

When our devices are interfaced with other link partners such as switch
devices, the results would be entirely equipment dependent. Some
switches are completely fine with accepting an egress tagged frame with
VLAN ID 0 and would send their responses untagged, so everything works,
but other devices are not so tolerant and would typically reject a VLAN
ID 0 tagged frame.

Hi all,

After looking at all DSA drivers and how they implement port_vlan_add()
I think this is the right change to do, but would appreciate if you
could test this on your respective platforms to ensure this is not
problematic.

Thank you

Are you sure that it's not in fact those devices that are not doing
what they're supposed to? VID 0 should be sent as tagged and no port
membership checks should be enforced on it.

I'm pretty sure this is problematic, for the simple reason that with
this change, DSA is insisting that the default PVID is 0, contrary to
the bridge core which insists it is 1. And some switches, like the
Microchip Ocelot/Felix, don't support more than 1 egress-untagged
VLAN, so adding one of the VIDs 0 or 1 will fail (I don't know the
exact order off-hand). See 1c44ce560b4d ("net: mscc: ocelot: fix
vlan_filtering when enslaving to bridge before link is up") for more
details of how that is going to work.

IEEE 802.1Q-2018, page 247, Table 9-2—Reserved VID values:

The null VID. Indicates that the tag header contains only priority
information; no VID is
present in the frame. This VID value shall not be configured as a PVID
or a member of a VID
Set, or configured in any FDB entry, or used in any Management operation.

Where everything works what I see is the following:

- Linux on egress sends an untagged frame (as captured by tcpdump) but
the VLAN entry for VID 0 makes it egress tagged and the machine on the
other sees it as such as well
- the response from that machine is also ingress tagged as captured from
the DSA master network device

what I do not have visibility into are systems where this does not work
but will try to request that. Breaking users is obviously bad which
prompted me for doing this specification violating frame. I am not sure
whether DSA standalone ports qualify as managed ports or not, sounds
like no given we have not added support for doing much UC/MC filtering
unlike what NICs do.

OK, I do wonder if we would be better off just skipping the VLAN
programming for VID = 0 and/or just defining a different
reserved/default VLAN ID for switches that have global VLAN filtering.

Of course, I am always testing you, that way you do not know if I am
incredibly smart or stupid.

So the operating system is sending untagged traffic, it gets
pvid-tagged by the hardware on the CPU port and is sent as
egress-tagged on the front panel.
Odd, but ok, not illegal, I suppose. The odd part is caused by having
the vid 0 as pvid. Otherwise, having vid 0 as egress-tagged is not in
itself a problem, since the assumption is that the only way a frame
would get to the switch with VID 0 was if that VID was already in the
tag.
If anything, changing the pvid to something that is egress-untagged
will give you some nice throughput boost, save you 4 bytes on the wire
per frame.

Well, we can talk until the cows come home, but until the drop reason
on those devices is clear, I would refrain from drawing any
conclusion.

Oh, right, I remember. This is one of the switches with b53_default_pvid=0?
So what were you saying... [0]

[0]: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/670c1d7f-4d2c-e9b4-3057-e87a66ad0d33@gmail.com/

So having 0 as pvid will inevitably cause problems trying to do
something meaningful with it on egress. Send it tagged, it'll mess
with your untagged traffic, send it untagged, it'll mess with your
stack-originated 802.1p-tagged traffic, as well as 802.1p-tagged
traffic forwarded from other endpoints. Hence the reason why IEEE said
"don't do that".

Can't you do whatever workarounds with vid 0 and/or
NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_FILTER that are restricted to b53? The "flags"
value of 0 for 802.1p tagged frames is fine under the assumption that
vid 0 is never going to be a pvid, which it'd better not be. The
bridge doesn't even let you run "bridge vlan add dev swp0 vid 0 pvid
untagged", that should say something.

Actually I was more like happy about not being a complete beginner
anymore. Looking through the sja1105 git history you'll see that I've
oscillated a few times myself between vid 0 and 1 as pvid. Perhaps
overly excited that I could point to the right page in the right book,
for once.

Yes that is correct, and we also have VLAN filtering being a global
property, which is why we cannot simply reject programming with VID = 0,
since that is the default, and default VID still requires a VLAN entry.

Yes, forcing the default VID to be unconditionally untagged (but not
PVID), scoped specifically to b53 works nicely, with, or without VLAN
filtering and I can confirm that no VID 0 tag is sent on the wire (as
expected).

Thanks!

If a frame tagged with VID 0 ingresses a Marvell port with 802.1Q enabled,
the VID assigned will be the port's default VID.

That being said, the hardware shouldn't prevent us from programming a port's
default VID as 0 or adding an entry for VID 0 in the VLAN table, but AFAICT
we are rejecting the latter for some reasons (it might have no effect, idk).

With this change we will be overriding the port's default VID with 0 in
addition to attempting to program a VLAN entry for the null VID (mv88e6xxx
would still return -EOPNOTSUPP at the moment for both anyway). Am I correct?


Thank you,

	Vivien
