The whole purpose of tag_8021q is to send VLAN-tagged traffic to the
CPU, from which the driver can decode the source port and switch id.

Currently this only works if the VLAN filtering on the master is
disabled. Change that by explicitly adding code to tag_8021q.c to add
the VLANs corresponding to the tags to the filter of the master
interface.

Because we now need to call vlan_vid_add, then we also need to hold the
RTNL mutex. Propagate that requirement to the callers of dsa_8021q_setup
and modify the existing call sites as appropriate. Note that one call
path, sja1105_best_effort_vlan_filtering_set -&gt; sja1105_vlan_filtering
-&gt; sja1105_setup_8021q_tagging, was already holding this lock.

<id>5899ee367ab3fec885aa04d9a2b573bf2e464e7f</id>
<content type='text'>
While working on another tag_8021q driver implementation, some things
became apparent:

- It is not mandatory for a DSA driver to offload the tag_8021q VLANs by
  using the VLAN table per se. For example, it can add custom TCAM rules
  that simply encapsulate RX traffic, and redirect &amp; decapsulate rules
  for TX traffic. For such a driver, it makes no sense to receive the
  tag_8021q configuration through the same callback as it receives the
  VLAN configuration from the bridge and the 8021q modules.

- Currently, sja1105 (the only tag_8021q user) sets a
  priv-&gt;expect_dsa_8021q variable to distinguish between the bridge
  calling, and tag_8021q calling. That can be improved, to say the
  least.

- The crosschip bridging operations are, in fact, stateful already. The
  list of crosschip_links must be kept by the caller and passed to the
  relevant tag_8021q functions.

So it would be nice if the tag_8021q configuration was more
self-contained. This patch attempts to do that.

Create a struct dsa_8021q_context which encapsulates a struct
dsa_switch, and has 2 function pointers for adding and deleting a VLAN.
These will replace the previous channel to the driver, which was through
the .port_vlan_add and .port_vlan_del callbacks of dsa_switch_ops.

Also put the list of crosschip_links into this dsa_8021q_context.
Drivers that don't support cross-chip bridging can simply omit to
initialize this list, as long as they dont call any cross-chip function.

The sja1105_vlan_add and sja1105_vlan_del functions are refactored into
a smaller sja1105_vlan_add_one, which now has 2 entry points:
- sja1105_vlan_add, from struct dsa_switch_ops
- sja1105_dsa_8021q_vlan_add, from the tag_8021q ops
But even this change is fairly trivial. It just reflects the fact that
for sja1105, the VLANs from these 2 channels end up in the same hardware
table. However that is not necessarily true in the general sense (and
that's the reason for making this change).

The rest of the patch is mostly plain refactoring of "ds" -&gt; "ctx". The
dsa_8021q_context structure needs to be propagated because adding a VLAN
is now done through the ops function pointers inside of it.

There is no point in calling dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging for each
individual port. Additionally, it will become more difficult to do that
when we'll have a context structure to tag_8021q (next patch). So
refactor this now.

Create a subvlan_map as part of each port's tagger private structure.
This keeps reverse mappings of bridge-to-dsa_8021q VLAN retagging rules.

Note that as of this patch, this piece of code is never engaged, due to
the fact that the driver hasn't installed any retagging rule, so we'll
always see packets with a subvlan code of 0 (untagged).

For switches that support VLAN retagging, such as sja1105, we extend
dsa_8021q by encoding a "sub-VLAN" into the remaining 3 free bits in the
dsa_8021q tag.

A sub-VLAN is nothing more than a number in the range 0-7, which serves
as an index into a per-port driver lookup table. The sub-VLAN value of
zero means that traffic is untagged (this is also backwards-compatible
with dsa_8021q without retagging).

The switch should be configured to retag VLAN-tagged traffic that gets
transmitted towards the CPU port (and towards the CPU only). Example:

bridge vlan add dev sw1p0 vid 100

The switch retags frames received on port 0, going to the CPU, and
having VID 100, to the VID of 1104 (0x0450). In dsa_8021q language:

 | 11  | 10  |  9  |  8  |  7  |  6  |  5  |  4  |  3  |  2  |  1  |  0  |
 +-----------+-----+-----------------+-----------+-----------------------+
 |    DIR    | SVL |    SWITCH_ID    |  SUBVLAN  |          PORT         |
 +-----------+-----+-----------------+-----------+-----------------------+

0x0450 means:
 - DIR = 0b01: this is an RX VLAN
 - SUBVLAN = 0b001: this is subvlan #1
 - SWITCH_ID = 0b001: this is switch 1 (see the name "sw1p0")
 - PORT = 0b0000: this is port 0 (see the name "sw1p0")

The driver also remembers the "1 -&gt; 100" mapping. In the hotpath, if the
sub-VLAN from the tag encodes a non-untagged frame, this mapping is used
to create a VLAN hwaccel tag, with the value of 100.

In VLAN-unaware mode, sja1105 uses VLAN tags with a custom TPID of
0xdadb. While in the yet-to-be introduced best_effort_vlan_filtering
mode, it needs to work with normal VLAN TPID values.

A complication arises when we must transmit a VLAN-tagged packet to the
switch when it's in VLAN-aware mode. We need to construct a packet with
2 VLAN tags, and the switch will use the outer header for routing and
pop it on egress. But sadly, here the 2 hardware generations don't
behave the same:

- E/T switches won't pop an ETH_P_8021AD tag on egress, it seems
  (packets will remain double-tagged).
- P/Q/R/S switches will drop a packet with 2 ETH_P_8021Q tags (it looks
  like it tries to prevent VLAN hopping).

But looks like the reverse is also true:

- E/T switches have no problem popping the outer tag from packets with
  2 ETH_P_8021Q tags.
- P/Q/R/S will have no problem popping a single tag even if that is
  ETH_P_8021AD.

So it is clear that if we want the hardware to work with dsa_8021q
tagging in VLAN-aware mode, we need to send different TPIDs depending on
revision. Keep that information in priv-&gt;info-&gt;qinq_tpid.

The per-port tagger structure will hold an xmit_tpid value that depends
not only upon the qinq_tpid, but also upon the VLAN awareness state
itself (in case we must transmit using 0xdadb).

pop it on egress. But sadly, here the 2 hardware generations don't
behave the same:

- E/T switches won't pop an ETH_P_8021AD tag on egress, it seems
  (packets will remain double-tagged).
- P/Q/R/S switches will drop a packet with 2 ETH_P_8021Q tags (it looks
  like it tries to prevent VLAN hopping).

But looks like the reverse is also true:

- E/T switches have no problem popping the outer tag from packets with
  2 ETH_P_8021Q tags.
- P/Q/R/S will have no problem popping a single tag even if that is
  ETH_P_8021AD.

So it is clear that if we want the hardware to work with dsa_8021q
tagging in VLAN-aware mode, we need to send different TPIDs depending on
revision. Keep that information in priv-&gt;info-&gt;qinq_tpid.

The per-port tagger structure will hold an xmit_tpid value that depends
not only upon the qinq_tpid, but also upon the VLAN awareness state
itself (in case we must transmit using 0xdadb).

Managing the VLAN table that is present in hardware will become very
difficult once we add a third operating state
(best_effort_vlan_filtering). That is because correct cleanup (not too
little, not too much) becomes virtually impossible, when VLANs can be
added from the bridge layer, from dsa_8021q for basic tagging, for
cross-chip bridging, as well as retagging rules for sub-VLANs and
cross-chip sub-VLANs. So we need to rethink VLAN interaction with the
switch in a more scalable way.

In preparation for that, use the priv-&gt;expect_dsa_8021q boolean to
classify any VLAN request received through .port_vlan_add or
.port_vlan_del towards either one of 2 internal lists: bridge VLANs and
dsa_8021q VLANs.

Then, implement a central sja1105_build_vlan_table method that creates a
VLAN configuration from scratch based on the 2 lists of VLANs kept by
the driver, and based on the VLAN awareness state. Currently, if we are
VLAN-unaware, install the dsa_8021q VLANs, otherwise the bridge VLANs.

Then, implement a delta commit procedure that identifies which VLANs
from this new configuration are actually different from the config
previously committed to hardware. We apply the delta through the dynamic
configuration interface (we don't reset the switch). The result is that
the hardware should see the exact sequence of operations as before this
patch.

This also helps remove the "br" argument passed to
dsa_8021q_crosschip_bridge_join, which it was only using to figure out
whether it should commit the configuration back to us or not, based on
the VLAN awareness state of the bridge. We can simplify that, by always
allowing those VLANs inside of our dsa_8021q_vlans list, and committing
those to hardware when necessary.
