<id>urn:sha1:72c3b0c7359a6f91dd03e08b839adccd9d4268a8</id>
<content type='text'>
At the time - commit 7569459a52c9 ("net: dsa: manage flooding on the CPU
ports") - not introducing a dedicated switch callback for host flooding
made sense, because for the only user, the felix driver, there was
nothing different to do for the CPU port than set the flood flags on the
CPU port just like on any other bridge port.

There are 2 reasons why this approach is not good enough, however.

(1) Other drivers, like sja1105, support configuring flooding as a
    function of {ingress port, egress port}, whereas the DSA
    -&gt;port_bridge_flags() function only operates on an egress port.
    So with that driver we'd have useless host flooding from user ports
    which don't need it.

(2) Even with the felix driver, support for multiple CPU ports makes it
    difficult to piggyback on -&gt;port_bridge_flags(). The way in which
    the felix driver is going to support host-filtered addresses with
    multiple CPU ports is that it will direct these addresses towards
    both CPU ports (in a sort of multicast fashion), then restrict the
    forwarding to only one of the two using the forwarding masks.
    Consequently, flooding will also be enabled towards both CPU ports.
    However, -&gt;port_bridge_flags() gets passed the index of a single CPU
    port, and that leaves the flood settings out of sync between the 2
    CPU ports.

This is to say, it's better to have a specific driver method for host
flooding, which takes the user port as argument. This solves problem (1)
by allowing the driver to do different things for different user ports,
and problem (2) by abstracting the operation and letting the driver do
whatever, rather than explicitly making the DSA core point to the CPU
port it thinks needs to be touched.

This new method also creates a problem, which is that cross-chip setups
are not handled. However I don't have hardware right now where I can
test what is the proper thing to do, and there isn't hardware compatible
with multi-switch trees that supports host flooding. So it remains a
problem to be tackled in the future.

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

<id>urn:sha1:7c762e70c50b462fabe44a597e2a6c3e56c236c0</id>
<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.

<title>net: dsa: don't emit targeted cross-chip notifiers for MTU change</title>

<content type='text'>
A cross-chip notifier with "targeted_match=true" is one that matches
only the local port of the switch that emitted it. In other words,
passing through the cross-chip notifier layer serves no purpose.

Eliminate this concept by calling directly ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_change_mtu
instead of emitting a targeted cross-chip notifier. This leaves the
DSA_NOTIFIER_MTU event being emitted only for MTU updates on the CPU
port, which need to be reflected also across all DSA links.

We could retrieve the cpu_dp pointer directly from the "dp" we already
have, no need to resort to dsa_to_port(ds, port).

This change also removes the need for an "int port", so that is also
deleted.

"dp_iter", for readability.

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.

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.

Add the usual trampoline functionality from the generic DSA layer down
to the drivers for MST state changes.

When a state changes to disabled/blocking/listening, make sure to fast
age any dynamic entries in the affected VLANs (those controlled by the
MSTI in question).
