tag_8021q definitions are all over the place. Some are exported to
linux/dsa/8021q.h (visible by DSA core, taggers, switch drivers and
everyone else), and some are in dsa_priv.h.

Move the structures that don't need external visibility into tag_8021q.c,
and the ones which don't need the world or switch drivers to see them
into tag_8021q.h.

We also have the tag_8021q.h inclusion from switch.c, which is basically
the entire reason why tag_8021q.c was built into DSA in commit
8b6e638b4be2 ("net: dsa: build tag_8021q.c as part of DSA core").
I still don't know how to better deal with that, so leave it alone.

The DSA tagging protocol driver macros are in the public include/net/dsa.h
probably because that's also where the DSA_TAG_PROTO_*_VALUE macros are
(MODULE_ALIAS_DSA_TAG_DRIVER hinges on those macro definitions).

But there is no reason to expose these helpers to &lt;net/dsa.h&gt;. That
header is shared between switch drivers (drivers/net/dsa/), tagging
protocol drivers (net/dsa/tag_*.c), the DSA core (net/dsa/ sans tag_*.c),
and the rest of the world (DSA master drivers, network stack, etc).
Too much exposure.

On the other hand, net/dsa/dsa_priv.h is included only by the DSA core
and by DSA tagging protocol drivers (or IOW, "friend" modules). Also a
bit too much exposure - I've contemplated creating a new header which is
only included by tagging protocol drivers, but completely separating a
new dsa_tag_proto.h from dsa_priv.h is not immediately trivial - for
example dsa_slave_to_port() is used both from the fast path and from the
control path.

So for now, move these definitions to dsa_priv.h which at least hides
them from the world.

As of now, no DSA driver uses a custom link mode validation procedure
anymore. So remove this DSA operation and let phylink determine what is
supported based on config-&gt;mac_capabilities (if provided by the driver).
Leave a comment why we left the code that we did, and that there is more
work to do.

Since dsa_port_devlink_setup() and dsa_port_devlink_teardown() are
already called from code paths which only execute once per port (due to
the existing bool dp-&gt;setup), keeping another dp-&gt;devlink_port_setup is
redundant, because we can already manage to balance the calls properly
(and not call teardown when setup was never called, or call setup twice,
or things like that).

<title>net: dsa: allow masters to join a LAG</title>

There are 2 ways in which a DSA user port may become handled by 2 CPU
ports in a LAG:

(1) its current DSA master joins a LAG

 ip link del bond0 &amp;&amp; ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad
 ip link set eno2 master bond0

When this happens, all user ports with "eno2" as DSA master get
automatically migrated to "bond0" as DSA master.

(2) it is explicitly configured as such by the user

 # Before, the DSA master was eno3
 ip link set swp0 type dsa master bond0

The design of this configuration is that the LAG device dynamically
becomes a DSA master through dsa_master_setup() when the first physical
DSA master becomes a LAG slave, and stops being so through
dsa_master_teardown() when the last physical DSA master leaves.

A LAG interface is considered as a valid DSA master only if it contains
existing DSA masters, and no other lower interfaces. Therefore, we
mainly rely on method (1) to enter this configuration.

Each physical DSA master (LAG slave) retains its dev-&gt;dsa_ptr for when
it becomes a standalone DSA master again. But the LAG master also has a
dev-&gt;dsa_ptr, and this is actually duplicated from one of the physical
LAG slaves, and therefore needs to be balanced when LAG slaves come and
go.

To the switch driver, putting DSA masters in a LAG is seen as putting
their associated CPU ports in a LAG.

We need to prepare cross-chip host FDB notifiers for CPU ports in a LAG,
by calling the driver's -&gt;lag_fdb_add method rather than -&gt;port_fdb_add.

Drivers could refuse to offload a LAG configuration for a variety of
reasons, mainly having to do with its TX type. Additionally, since DSA
masters may now also be LAG interfaces, and this will translate into a
call to port_lag_join on the CPU ports, there may be extra restrictions
there. Propagate the netlink extack to this DSA method in order for
drivers to give a meaningful error message back to the user.

Some DSA switches have multiple CPU ports, which can be used to improve
CPU termination throughput, but DSA, through dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports(),
sets up only the first one, leading to suboptimal use of hardware.

The desire is to not change the default configuration but to permit the
user to create a dynamic mapping between individual user ports and the
CPU port that they are served by, configurable through rtnetlink. It is
also intended to permit load balancing between CPU ports, and in that
case, the foreseen model is for the DSA master to be a bonding interface
whose lowers are the physical DSA masters.

To that end, we create a struct rtnl_link_ops for DSA user ports with
the "dsa" kind. We expose the IFLA_DSA_MASTER link attribute that
contains the ifindex of the newly desired DSA master.

There is a desire to support for DSA masters in a LAG.

That configuration is intended to work by simply enslaving the master to
a bonding/team device. But the physical DSA master (the LAG slave) still
has a dev-&gt;dsa_ptr, and that cpu_dp still corresponds to the physical
CPU port.

However, we would like to be able to retrieve the LAG that's the upper
of the physical DSA master. In preparation for that, introduce a helper
called dsa_port_get_master() that replaces all occurrences of the
dp-&gt;cpu_dp-&gt;master pattern. The distinction between LAG and non-LAG will
be made later within the helper itself.
