net: switchdev: remove lag_mod_cb from switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device

2022-02-25T05:31:43+00:00

When the switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device() event replication helper
was created, my original thought was that FDB events on LAG interfaces
should most likely be special-cased, not just replicated towards all
switchdev ports beneath that LAG. So this replication helper currently
does not recurse through switchdev lower interfaces of LAG bridge ports,
but rather calls the lag_mod_cb() if that was provided.

No switchdev driver uses this helper for FDB events on LAG interfaces
yet, so that was an assumption which was yet to be tested. It is
certainly usable for that purpose, as my RFC series shows:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220210125201.2859463-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

however this approach is slightly convoluted because:

- the switchdev driver gets a "dev" that isn't its own net device, but
  rather the LAG net device. It must call switchdev_lower_dev_find(dev)
  in order to get a handle of any of its own net devices (the ones that
  pass check_cb).

- in order for FDB entries on LAG ports to be correctly refcounted per
  the number of switchdev ports beneath that LAG, we haven't escaped the
  need to iterate through the LAG's lower interfaces. Except that is now
  the responsibility of the switchdev driver, because the replication
  helper just stopped half-way.

So, even though yes, FDB events on LAG bridge ports must be
special-cased, in the end it's simpler to let switchdev_handle_fdb_*
just iterate through the LAG port's switchdev lowers, and let the
switchdev driver figure out that those physical ports are under a LAG.

The switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device() helper takes a
"foreign_dev_check" callback so it can figure out whether @dev can
autonomously forward to @foreign_dev. DSA fills this method properly:
if the LAG is offloaded by another port in the same tree as @dev, then
it isn't foreign. If it is a software LAG, it is foreign - forwarding
happens in software.

Whether an interface is foreign or not decides whether the replication
helper will go through the LAG's switchdev lowers or not. Since the
lan966x doesn't properly fill this out, FDB events on software LAG
uppers will get called. By changing lan966x_foreign_dev_check(), we can
suppress them.

Whereas DSA will now start receiving FDB events for its offloaded LAG
uppers, so we need to return -EOPNOTSUPP, since we currently don't do
the right thing for them.

net: switchdev: avoid infinite recursion from LAG to bridge with port object handler

2022-02-23T12:12:12+00:00

The logic from switchdev_handle_port_obj_add_foreign() is directly
adapted from switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device(), which already
detects events on foreign interfaces and reoffloads them towards the
switchdev neighbors.

However, when we have a simple br0 <-> bond0 <-> swp0 topology and the
switchdev_handle_port_obj_add_foreign() gets called on bond0, we get
stuck into an infinite recursion:

1. bond0 does not pass check_cb(), so we attempt to find switchdev
   neighbor interfaces. For that, we recursively call
   __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() for bond0's bridge, br0.

2. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() recurses through br0's lowers,
   essentially calling __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() for bond0

3. Go to step 1.

This happens because switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device() and
switchdev_handle_port_obj_add_foreign() are not exactly the same.
The FDB event helper special-cases LAG interfaces with its lag_mod_cb(),
so this is why we don't end up in an infinite loop - because it doesn't
attempt to treat LAG interfaces as potentially foreign bridge ports.

The problem is solved by looking ahead through the bridge's lowers to
see whether there is any switchdev interface that is foreign to the @dev
we are currently processing. This stops the recursion described above at
step 1: __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(bond0) will not create another
call to __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(br0). Going one step upper
should only happen when we're starting from a bridge port that has been
determined to be "foreign" to the switchdev driver that passes the
foreign_dev_check_cb().

net: switchdev: introduce switchdev_handle_port_obj_{add,del} for foreign interfaces

2022-02-16T11:21:04+00:00

The switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() helper is good for replicating a
port object on the lower interfaces of @dev, if that object was emitted
on a bridge, or on a bridge port that is a LAG.

However, drivers that use this helper limit themselves to a box from
which they can no longer intercept port objects notified on neighbor
ports ("foreign interfaces").

One such driver is DSA, where software bridging with foreign interfaces
such as standalone NICs or Wi-Fi APs is an important use case. There, a
VLAN installed on a neighbor bridge port roughly corresponds to a
forwarding VLAN installed on the DSA switch's CPU port.

To support this use case while also making use of the benefits of the
switchdev_handle_* replication helper for port objects, introduce a new
variant of these functions that crawls through the neighbor ports of
@dev, in search of potentially compatible switchdev ports that are
interested in the event.

The strategy is identical to switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device():
if @dev wasn't a switchdev interface, then go one step upper, and
recursively call this function on the bridge that this port belongs to.
At the next recursion step, __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() will
iterate through the bridge's lower interfaces. Among those, some will be
switchdev interfaces, and one will be the original @dev that we came
from. To prevent infinite recursion, we must suppress reentry into the
original @dev, and just call the @add_cb for the switchdev_interfaces.

It looks like this:

                br0
               / | \
              /  |  \
             /   |   \
           swp0 swp1 eth0

1. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(eth0)
   -> check_cb(eth0) returns false
   -> eth0 has no lower interfaces
   -> eth0's bridge is br0
   -> switchdev_lower_dev_find(br0, check_cb, foreign_dev_check_cb))
      finds br0

2. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(br0)
   -> check_cb(br0) returns false
   -> netdev_for_each_lower_dev
      -> check_cb(swp0) returns true, so we don't skip this interface

3. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(swp0)
   -> check_cb(swp0) returns true, so we call add_cb(swp0)

(back to netdev_for_each_lower_dev from 2)
      -> check_cb(swp1) returns true, so we don't skip this interface

4. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(swp1)
   -> check_cb(swp1) returns true, so we call add_cb(swp1)

(back to netdev_for_each_lower_dev from 2)
      -> check_cb(eth0) returns false, so we skip this interface to
         avoid infinite recursion

Note: eth0 could have been a LAG, and we don't want to suppress the
recursion through its lowers if those exist, so when check_cb() returns
false, we still call switchdev_lower_dev_find() to estimate whether
there's anything worth a recursion beneath that LAG. Using check_cb()
and foreign_dev_check_cb(), switchdev_lower_dev_find() not only figures
out whether the lowers of the LAG are switchdev, but also whether they
actively offload the LAG or not (whether the LAG is "foreign" to the
switchdev interface or not).

The port_obj_info->orig_dev is preserved across recursive calls, so
switchdev drivers still know on which device was this notification
originally emitted.

To reduce code churn, the same patch makes multiple changes, since they
all touch the same lines:

1. The implementations for these two are identical, just with different
   function pointers. Reduce duplications and name the function pointers
   "mod_cb" instead of "add_cb" and "del_cb". Pass the event as argument.

2. Drop the "const" attribute from "orig_dev". If the driver needs to
   check whether orig_dev belongs to itself and then
   call_switchdev_notifiers(orig_dev, SWITCHDEV_FDB_OFFLOADED), it
   can't, because call_switchdev_notifiers takes a non-const struct

net: make switchdev_bridge_port_{,unoffload} loosely coupled with the bridge

2021-08-04T11:35:07+00:00

With the introduction of explicit offloading API in switchdev in commit
2f5dc00f7a3e ("net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform which bridge
ports are offloaded"), we started having Ethernet switch drivers calling
directly into a function exported by net/bridge/br_switchdev.c, which is
a function exported by the bridge driver.

This means that drivers that did not have an explicit dependency on the
bridge before, like cpsw and am65-cpsw, now do - otherwise it is not
possible to call a symbol exported by a driver that can be built as
module unless you are a module too.

There was an attempt to solve the dependency issue in the form of commit
b0e81817629a ("net: build all switchdev drivers as modules when the
bridge is a module"). Grygorii Strashko, however, says about it:

| In my opinion, the problem is a bit bigger here than just fixing the
| build :(
|
| In case, of ^cpsw the switchdev mode is kinda optional and in many
| cases (especially for testing purposes, NFS) the multi-mac mode is
| still preferable mode.
|
| There were no such tight dependency between switchdev drivers and
| bridge core before and switchdev serviced as independent, notification
| based layer between them, so ^cpsw still can be "Y" and bridge can be
| "M". Now for mostly every kernel build configuration the CONFIG_BRIDGE
| will need to be set as "Y", or we will have to update drivers to
| support build with BRIDGE=n and maintain separate builds for
| networking vs non-networking testing. But is this enough? Wouldn't
| it cause 'chain reaction' required to add more and more "Y" options
| (like CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q)?
|
| PS. Just to be sure we on the same page - ARM builds will be forced
| (with this patch) to have CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV=m and so all our
| automation testing will just fail with omap2plus_defconfig.

In the light of this, it would be desirable for some configurations to
avoid dependencies between switchdev drivers and the bridge, and have
the switchdev mode as completely optional within the driver.

Arnd Bergmann also tried to write a patch which better expressed the
build time dependency for Ethernet switch drivers where the switchdev
support is optional, like cpsw/am65-cpsw, and this made the drivers
follow the bridge (compile as module if the bridge is a module) only if
the optional switchdev support in the driver was enabled in the first
place:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210802144813.1152762-1-arnd@kernel.org/

but this still did not solve the fact that cpsw and am65-cpsw now must
be built as modules when the bridge is a module - it just expressed
correctly that optional dependency. But the new behavior is an apparent
regression from Grygorii's perspective.

So to support the use case where the Ethernet driver is built-in,
NET_SWITCHDEV (a bool option) is enabled, and the bridge is a module, we
need a framework that can handle the possible absence of the bridge from
the running system, i.e. runtime bloatware as opposed to build-time
bloatware.

Luckily we already have this framework, since switchdev has been using
it extensively. Events from the bridge side are transmitted to the
driver side using notifier chains - this was originally done so that
unrelated drivers could snoop for events emitted by the bridge towards
ports that are implemented by other drivers (think of a switch driver
with LAG offload that listens for switchdev events on a bonding/team
interface that it offloads).

There are also events which are transmitted from the driver side to the
bridge side, which again are modeled using notifiers.
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is an example of this, and deals with
notifying the bridge that a MAC address has been dynamically learned.
So there is a precedent we can use for modeling the new framework.

The difference compared to SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is that the work
that the bridge needs to do when a port becomes offloaded is blocking in
its nature: replay VLANs, MDBs etc. The calling context is indeed
blocking (we are under rtnl_mutex), but the existing switchdev
notification chain that the bridge is subscribed to is only the atomic
one. So we need to subscribe the bridge to the blocking switchdev
notification chain too.

This patch:
- keeps the driver-side perception of the switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload
unchanged
- moves the implementation of switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload from
the bridge module into the switchdev module.
- makes everybody that is subscribed to the switchdev blocking notifier
chain "hear" offload & unoffload events
- makes the bridge driver subscribe and handle those events
- moves the bridge driver's handling of those events into 2 new
functions called br_switchdev_port_{,un}offload. These functions
contain in fact the core of the logic that was previously in
switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload, just that now we go through an
extra indirection layer to reach them.

Unlike all the other switchdev notification structures, the structure
used to carry the bridge port information, struct
switchdev_notifier_brport_info, does not contain a "bool handled".
This is because in the current usage pattern, we always know that a
switchdev bridge port offloading event will be handled by the bridge,
because the switchdev_bridge_port_offload() call was initiated by a
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event in the first place, where info->upper_dev is a
bridge. So if the bridge wasn't loaded, then the CHANGEUPPER event
couldn't have happened.

net: switchdev: fix FDB entries towards foreign ports not getting propagated to us

2021-07-22T07:45:40+00:00

The newly introduced switchdev_handle_fdb_{add,del}_to_device helpers
solved a problem but introduced another one. They have a severe design
bug: they do not propagate FDB events on foreign interfaces to us, i.e.
this use case:

         br0
        /   \
       /     \
      /       \
     /         \
   swp0       eno0
(switchdev)  (foreign)

when an address is learned on eno0, what is supposed to happen is that
this event should also be propagated towards swp0. Somehow I managed to
convince myself that this did work correctly, but obviously it does not.

The trouble with foreign interfaces is that we must reach a switchdev
net_device pointer through a foreign net_device that has no direct
upper/lower relationship with it. So we need to do exploratory searching
through the lower interfaces of the foreign net_device's bridge upper
(to reach swp0 from eno0, we must check its upper, br0, for lower
interfaces that pass the check_cb and foreign_dev_check_cb). This is
something that the previous code did not do, it just assumed that "dev"
will become a switchdev interface at some point, somehow, probably by
magic.

With this patch, assisted address learning on the CPU port works again
in DSA:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link set swp0 master br0
ip link set eno0 master br0
ip link set br0 up

The difference between __switchdev_handle_fdb_del_to_device and

orig_dev argument, while the latter starts with dev == orig_dev.

We should recurse into the variant that does not lose the orig_dev along
the way. This is relevant when deleting FDB entries pointing towards a
bridge (dev changes to the lower interfaces, but orig_dev shouldn't).

The addition helper already recurses properly, just the deletion one
doesn't.
