There is a race between switchdev_bridge_port_offload() and the
dsa_port_switchdev_sync_attrs() call right below it.

When switchdev_bridge_port_offload() finishes, FDB entries have been
replayed by the bridge, but are scheduled for deferred execution later.

However dsa_port_switchdev_sync_attrs -&gt; dsa_port_can_apply_vlan_filtering()
may impose restrictions on the vlan_filtering attribute and refuse
offloading.

When this happens, the delayed FDB entries will dereference dp-&gt;bridge,
which is a NULL pointer because we have stopped the process of
offloading this bridge.

Error: dsa_core: Must first remove VLAN uppers having VIDs also present in bridge.

Fix the bug by doing what we do on the normal bridge leave path as well,
which is to wait until the deferred FDB entries complete executing, then
exit.

The placement of dsa_flush_workqueue() after switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload()
guarantees that both the FDB additions and deletions on rollback are waited for.

<title>net: dsa: flood multicast to CPU when slave has IFF_PROMISC</title>

<content type='text'>
Certain DSA switches can eliminate flooding to the CPU when none of the
ports have the IFF_ALLMULTI or IFF_PROMISC flags set. This is done by
synthesizing a call to dsa_port_bridge_flags() for the CPU port, a call
which normally comes from the bridge driver via switchdev.

The bridge port flags and IFF_PROMISC|IFF_ALLMULTI have slightly
different semantics, and due to inattention/lack of proper testing, the
IFF_PROMISC flag allows unknown unicast to be flooded to the CPU, but
not unknown multicast.

This must be fixed by setting both BR_FLOOD (unicast) and BR_MCAST_FLOOD
in the synthesized dsa_port_bridge_flags() call, since IFF_PROMISC means
that packets should not be filtered regardless of their MAC DA.

In case the checksum calculation is offloaded to the DSA master network
interface, it will include the switch trailing tag. As soon as the switch strips
that tag on egress, the calculated checksum is wrong.

Therefore, add the checksum calculation to the tagger (if required) before
adding the switch tag. This way, the hellcreek code works with all DSA master
interfaces regardless of their declared feature set.

This reverts commit 11fd667dac315ea3f2469961f6d2869271a46cae.

dsa_slave_change_mtu() updates the MTU of the DSA master and of the
associated CPU port, but only if it detects a change to the master MTU.

The blamed commit in the Fixes: tag below addressed a regression where
dsa_slave_change_mtu() would return early and not do anything due to
ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_change_mtu() not being implemented.

However, that commit also had the effect that the master MTU got set up
to the correct value by dsa_master_setup(), but the associated CPU port's
MTU did not get updated. This causes breakage for drivers that rely on
the -&gt;port_change_mtu() DSA call to account for the tagging overhead on
the CPU port, and don't set up the initial MTU during the setup phase.

Things actually worked before because they were in a fragile equilibrium
where dsa_slave_change_mtu() was called before dsa_master_setup() was.
So dsa_slave_change_mtu() could actually detect a change and update the
CPU port MTU too.

Restore the code to the way things used to work by reverting the reorder
of dsa_tree_setup_master() and dsa_tree_setup_ports(). That change did
not have a concrete motivation going for it anyway, it just looked
better.

This reverts commit a1ff94c2973c43bc1e2677ac63ebb15b1d1ff846.

Switch drivers that don't implement -&gt;port_change_mtu() will cause the
DSA master to remain with an MTU of 1500, since we've deleted the other
code path. In turn, this causes a regression for those systems, where
MTU-sized traffic can no longer be terminated.

Revert the change taking into account the fact that rtnl_lock() is now
taken top-level from the callers of dsa_master_setup() and
dsa_master_teardown(). Also add a comment in order for it to be
absolutely clear why it is still needed.

DSA ports are stacked devices, so they use dev_mc_add() to sync their
address list to their lower interface (DSA master). But they are also
hardware devices, so they program those addresses to hardware using the
__dev_mc_add() sync and unsync callbacks.

Unfortunately both cannot work at the same time, and it seems that the
multicast addresses which are already present on the DSA master, like
33:33:00:00:00:01 (added by addrconf.c as in6addr_linklocal_allnodes)
are synced to the master via dev_mc_sync(), but not to hardware by
__dev_mc_sync().

This happens because both the dev_mc_sync() -&gt; __hw_addr_sync_one()
code path, as well as __dev_mc_sync() -&gt; __hw_addr_sync_dev(), operate
on the same variable: ha-&gt;sync_cnt, in a way that causes the "sync"
method (dsa_slave_sync_mc) to no longer be called.

To fix the issue we need to work with the API in the way in which it was
intended to be used, and therefore, call dev_uc_add() and friends for
each individual hardware address, from the sync and unsync callbacks.

DSA probing is atypical because a tree of devices must probe all at
once, so out of N switches which call dsa_tree_setup_routing_table()
during probe, for (N - 1) of them, "complete" will return false and they
will exit probing early. The Nth switch will set up the whole tree on
their behalf.

The implication is that for (N - 1) switches, the driver binds to the
device successfully, without doing anything. When the driver is bound,
the -&gt;shutdown() method may run. But if the Nth switch has failed to
initialize the tree, there is nothing to do for the (N - 1) driver
instances, since the slave devices have not been created, etc. Moreover,
dsa_switch_shutdown() expects that the calling @ds has been in fact
initialized, so it jumps at dereferencing the various data structures,
which is incorrect.

Avoid the ensuing NULL pointer dereferences by simply checking whether
the Nth switch has previously set "ds-&gt;setup = true" for the switch
which is currently shutting down. The entire setup is serialized under
dsa2_mutex which we already hold.

Fixes: 0650bf52b31f ("net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown")

Drivers might have error messages to propagate to user space, most
common being that they support a single mirror port.

Propagate the netlink extack so that they can inform user space in a
verbal way of their limitations.
