[ Upstream commit c73c57081b3d59aa99093fbedced32ea02620cd3 ]

Commit 08cc83cc7fd8 ("net: dsa: add support for BRIDGE_MROUTER
attribute") added an option for users to turn off multicast flooding
towards the CPU if they turn off the IGMP querier on a bridge which
already has enslaved ports (echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_router).

And commit a8b659e7ff75 ("net: dsa: act as passthrough for bridge port flags")
simply papered over that issue, because it moved the decision to flood
the CPU with multicast (or not) from the DSA core down to individual drivers,
instead of taking a more radical position then.

The truth is that disabling multicast flooding to the CPU is simply
something we are not prepared to do now, if at all. Some reasons:

- ICMP6 neighbor solicitation messages are unregistered multicast
  packets as far as the bridge is concerned. So if we stop flooding
  multicast, the outside world cannot ping the bridge device's IPv6
  link-local address.

- There might be foreign interfaces bridged with our DSA switch ports
  (sending a packet towards the host does not necessarily equal
  termination, but maybe software forwarding). So if there is no one
  interested in that multicast traffic in the local network stack, that
  doesn't mean nobody is.

- PTP over L4 (IPv4, IPv6) is multicast, but is unregistered as far as
  the bridge is concerned. This should reach the CPU port.

- The switch driver might not do FDB partitioning. And since we don't
  even bother to do more fine-grained flood disabling (such as "disable
  flooding _from_port_N_ towards the CPU port" as opposed to "disable
  flooding _from_any_port_ towards the CPU port"), this breaks standalone
  ports, or even multiple bridges where one has an IGMP querier and one
  doesn't.

Reverting the logic makes all of the above work.

Free skb-&gt;cb usage in core driver and let device drivers decide to
use or not. The reason having a DSA_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;clone was because
dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() which may set the clone pointer was called
before p-&gt;xmit() which would use the clone if any, and the device
driver has no way to initialize the clone pointer.

This patch just put memset(skb-&gt;cb, 0, sizeof(skb-&gt;cb)) at beginning
of dsa_slave_xmit(). Some new features in the future, like one-step
timestamp may need more bytes of skb-&gt;cb to use in
dsa_skb_tx_timestamp(), and p-&gt;xmit().

It was a waste to clone skb directly in dsa_skb_tx_timestamp().
For one-step timestamping, a clone was not needed. For any failure of
port_txtstamp (this may usually happen), the skb clone had to be freed.

So this patch moves skb cloning for tx timestamp out of dsa core, and
let drivers clone skb in port_txtstamp if they really need.

Move ptp_classify_raw out of dsa core driver for handling tx
timestamp request. Let device drivers do this if they want.
Not all drivers want to limit tx timestamping for only PTP
packet.

Some combinations of tag protocols and Ethernet controllers are
incompatible, and it is hard for the driver to keep track of these.

Therefore, allow the device tree author (typically the board vendor)
to inform the driver of this fact by selecting an alternate protocol
that is known to work.

Most of generic selftest should be able to work with probably all ethernet
controllers. The DSA switches are not exception, so enable it by default at
least for DSA.

This patch was tested with SJA1105 and AR9331.

of_get_mac_address() returns a "const void*" pointer to a MAC address.
Lately, support to fetch the MAC address by an NVMEM provider was added.
But this will only work with platform devices. It will not work with
PCI devices (e.g. of an integrated root complex) and esp. not with DSA
ports.

There is an of_* variant of the nvmem binding which works without
devices. The returned data of a nvmem_cell_read() has to be freed after
use. On the other hand the return of_get_mac_address() points to some
static data without a lifetime. The trick for now, was to allocate a
device resource managed buffer which is then returned. This will only
work if we have an actual device.

Change it, so that the caller of of_get_mac_address() has to supply a
buffer where the MAC address is written to. Unfortunately, this will
touch all drivers which use the of_get_mac_address().

Usually the code looks like:

  const char *addr;
  addr = of_get_mac_address(np);
  if (!IS_ERR(addr))
    ether_addr_copy(ndev-&gt;dev_addr, addr);

This can then be simply rewritten as:

  of_get_mac_address(np, ndev-&gt;dev_addr);

Sometimes is_valid_ether_addr() is used to test the MAC address.
of_get_mac_address() already makes sure, it just returns a valid MAC
address. Thus we can just test its return code. But we have to be
careful if there are still other sources for the MAC address before the
of_get_mac_address(). In this case we have to keep the
is_valid_ether_addr() call.

The following coccinelle patch was used to convert common cases to the
new style. Afterwards, I've manually gone over the drivers and fixed the
return code variable: either used a new one or if one was already
available use that. Mansour Moufid, thanks for that coccinelle patch!

<title>net: dsa: Add helper to resolve bridge port from DSA port</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc76ce9e8dc659561ee62876da2cffc03fb58cc5</id>
<content type='text'>
In order for a driver to be able to query a bridge for information
about itself, e.g. reading out port flags, it has to use a netdev that
is known to the bridge. In the simple case, that is just the netdev
representing the port, e.g. swp0 or swp1 in this example:

   br0
   / \
swp0 swp1

But in the case of an offloaded lag, this will be the bond or team
interface, e.g. bond0 in this example:

     br0
     /
  bond0
   / \
swp0 swp1

Add a helper that hides some of this complexity from the
drivers. Then, redefine dsa_port_offloads_bridge_port using the helper
to avoid double accounting of the set of possible offloaded uppers.
