[ Upstream commit 92f62485b3715882cd397b0cbd80a96d179b86d6 ]

Normally it is expected that the dsa_device_ops :: rcv() method finishes
parsing the DSA tag and consumes it, then never looks at it again.

But commit c0bcf537667c ("net: dsa: ocelot: add hardware timestamping
support for Felix") added support for RX timestamping in a very
unconventional way. On this switch, a partial timestamp is available in
the DSA header, but the driver got away with not parsing that timestamp
right away, but instead delayed that parsing for a little longer:

dsa_switch_rcv():
	nskb = cpu_dp-&gt;rcv(skb, dev); &lt;------------- not here
	-&gt; ocelot_rcv()
	...

	skb = nskb;
	skb_push(skb, ETH_HLEN);
	skb-&gt;pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;
	skb-&gt;protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, skb-&gt;dev);

	...

	if (dsa_skb_defer_rx_timestamp(p, skb)) &lt;--- but here
	-&gt; felix_rxtstamp()
		return 0;

When in felix_rxtstamp(), this driver accounted for the fact that
eth_type_trans() happened in the meanwhile, so it got a hold of the
extraction header again by subtracting (ETH_HLEN + OCELOT_TAG_LEN) bytes
from the current skb-&gt;data.

This worked for quite some time but was quite fragile from the very
beginning. Not to mention that having DSA tag parsing split in two
different files, under different folders (net/dsa/tag_ocelot.c vs
drivers/net/dsa/ocelot/felix.c) made it quite non-obvious for patches to
come that they might break this.

Finally, the blamed commit does the following: at the end of
ocelot_rcv(), it checks whether the skb payload contains a VLAN header.
If it does, and this port is under a VLAN-aware bridge, that VLAN ID
might not be correct in the sense that the packet might have suffered
VLAN rewriting due to TCAM rules (VCAP IS1). So we consume the VLAN ID
from the skb payload using __skb_vlan_pop(), and take the classified
VLAN ID from the DSA tag, and construct a hwaccel VLAN tag with the
classified VLAN, and the skb payload is VLAN-untagged.

The big problem is that __skb_vlan_pop() does:

	memmove(skb-&gt;data + VLAN_HLEN, skb-&gt;data, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
	__skb_pull(skb, VLAN_HLEN);

aka it moves the Ethernet header 4 bytes to the right, and pulls 4 bytes
from the skb headroom (effectively also moving skb-&gt;data, by definition).
So for felix_rxtstamp()'s fragile logic, all bets are off now.
Instead of having the "extraction" pointer point to the DSA header,
it actually points to 4 bytes _inside_ the extraction header.
Corollary, the last 4 bytes of the "extraction" header are in fact 4
stale bytes of the destination MAC address from the Ethernet header,
from prior to the __skb_vlan_pop() movement.

So of course, RX timestamps are completely bogus when the system is
configured in this way.

The fix is actually very simple: just don't structure the code like that.
For better or worse, the DSA PTP timestamping API does not offer a
straightforward way for drivers to present their RX timestamps, but
other drivers (sja1105) have established a simple mechanism to carry
their RX timestamp from dsa_device_ops :: rcv() all the way to
dsa_switch_ops :: port_rxtstamp() and even later. That mechanism is to
simply save the partial timestamp to the skb-&gt;cb, and complete it later.

Question: why don't we simply populate the skb's struct
skb_shared_hwtstamps from ocelot_rcv(), and bother with this
complication of propagating the timestamp to felix_rxtstamp()?

Answer: dsa_switch_ops :: port_rxtstamp() answers the question whether
PTP packets need sleepable context to retrieve the full RX timestamp.
Currently felix_rxtstamp() answers "no, thanks" to that question, and
calls ocelot_ptp_gettime64() from softirq atomic context. This is
understandable, since Felix VSC9959 is a PCIe memory-mapped switch, so
hardware access does not require sleeping. But the felix driver is
preparing for the introduction of other switches where hardware access
is over a slow bus like SPI or MDIO:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210814025003.2449143-1-colin.foster@in-advantage.com/

So I would like to keep this code structure, so the rework needed when
that driver will need PTP support will be minimal (answer "yes, I need
deferred context for this skb's RX timestamp", then the partial
timestamp will still be found in the skb-&gt;cb.

[ Upstream commit deab6b1cd9789bb9bd466d5e76aecb8b336259b4 ]

As explained here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
DSA tagging protocol drivers cannot depend on symbols exported by switch
drivers, because this creates a circular dependency that breaks module
autoloading.

The tag_ocelot.c file depends on the ocelot_ptp_rew_op() function
exported by the common ocelot switch lib. This function looks at
OCELOT_SKB_CB(skb) and computes how to populate the REW_OP field of the
DSA tag, for PTP timestamping (the command: one-step/two-step, and the
TX timestamp identifier).

None of that requires deep insight into the driver, it is quite
stateless, as it only depends upon the skb-&gt;cb. So let's make it a
static inline function and put it in include/linux/dsa/ocelot.h, a
file that despite its name is used by the ocelot switch driver for
populating the injection header too - since commit 40d3f295b5fe ("net:
mscc: ocelot: use common tag parsing code with DSA").

With that function declared as static inline, its body is expanded
inside each call site, so the dependency is broken and the DSA tagger
can be built without the switch library, upon which the felix driver
depends.

<title>net: dsa: sja1105: implement TX timestamping for SJA1110</title>

<id>urn:sha1:566b18c8b752f67c4e82f0eb4563dd71f84a8799</id>
<content type='text'>
The TX timestamping procedure for SJA1105 is a bit unconventional
because the transmit procedure itself is unconventional.

Control packets (and therefore PTP as well) are transmitted to a
specific port in SJA1105 using "management routes" which must be written
over SPI to the switch. These are one-shot rules that match by
destination MAC address on traffic coming from the CPU port, and select
the precise destination port for that packet. So to transmit a packet
from NET_TX softirq context, we actually need to defer to a process
context so that we can perform that SPI write before we send the packet.
The DSA master dev_queue_xmit() runs in process context, and we poll
until the switch confirms it took the TX timestamp, then we annotate the
skb clone with that TX timestamp. This is why the sja1105 driver does
not need an skb queue for TX timestamping.

But the SJA1110 is a bit (not much!) more conventional, and you can
request 2-step TX timestamping through the DSA header, as well as give
the switch a cookie (timestamp ID) which it will give back to you when
it has the timestamp. So now we do need a queue for keeping the skb
clones until their TX timestamps become available.

The interesting part is that the metadata frames from SJA1105 haven't
disappeared completely. On SJA1105 they were used as follow-ups which
contained RX timestamps, but on SJA1110 they are actually TX completion
packets, which contain a variable (up to 32) array of timestamps.
Why an array? Because:
- not only is the TX timestamp on the egress port being communicated,
  but also the RX timestamp on the CPU port. Nice, but we don't care
  about that, so we ignore it.
- because a packet could be multicast to multiple egress ports, each
  port takes its own timestamp, and the TX completion packet contains
  the individual timestamps on each port.

This is unconventional because switches typically have a timestamping
FIFO and raise an interrupt, but this one doesn't. So the tagger needs
to detect and parse meta frames, and call into the main switch driver,
which pairs the timestamps with the skbs in the TX timestamping queue
which are waiting for one.

<id>urn:sha1:4913b8ebf8a9c56ce66466b4daa07d7d4678cdd8</id>
<content type='text'>
The SJA1110 has improved a few things compared to SJA1105:

- To send a control packet from the host port with SJA1105, one needed
  to program a one-shot "management route" over SPI. This is no longer
  true with SJA1110, you can actually send "in-band control extensions"
  in the packets sent by DSA, these are in fact DSA tags which contain
  the destination port and switch ID.

- When receiving a control packet from the switch with SJA1105, the
  source port and switch ID were written in bytes 3 and 4 of the
  destination MAC address of the frame (which was a very poor shot at a
  DSA header). If the control packet also had an RX timestamp, that
  timestamp was sent in an actual follow-up packet, so there were
  reordering concerns on multi-core/multi-queue DSA masters, where the
  metadata frame with the RX timestamp might get processed before the
  actual packet to which that timestamp belonged (there is no way to
  pair a packet to its timestamp other than the order in which they were
  received). On SJA1110, this is no longer true, control packets have
  the source port, switch ID and timestamp all in the DSA tags.

- Timestamps from the switch were partial: to get a 64-bit timestamp as
  required by PTP stacks, one would need to take the partial 24-bit or
  32-bit timestamp from the packet, then read the current PTP time very
  quickly, and then patch in the high bits of the current PTP time into
  the captured partial timestamp, to reconstruct what the full 64-bit
  timestamp must have been. That is awful because packet processing is
  done in NAPI context, but reading the current PTP time is done over
  SPI and therefore needs sleepable context.

But it also aggravated a few things:

- Not only is there a DSA header in SJA1110, but there is a DSA trailer
  in fact, too. So DSA needs to be extended to support taggers which
  have both a header and a trailer. Very unconventional - my understanding
  is that the trailer exists because the timestamps couldn't be prepared
  in time for putting them in the header area.

- Like SJA1105, not all packets sent to the CPU have the DSA tag added
  to them, only control packets do:

  * the ones which match the destination MAC filters/traps in
    MAC_FLTRES1 and MAC_FLTRES0
  * the ones which match FDB entries which have TRAP or TAKETS bits set

  So we could in theory hack something up to request the switch to take
  timestamps for all packets that reach the CPU, and those would be
  DSA-tagged and contain the source port / switch ID by virtue of the
  fact that there needs to be a timestamp trailer provided. BUT:

- The SJA1110 does not parse its own DSA tags in a way that is useful
  for routing in cross-chip topologies, a la Marvell. And the sja1105
  driver already supports cross-chip bridging from the SJA1105 days.
  It does that by automatically setting up the DSA links as VLAN trunks
  which contain all the necessary tag_8021q RX VLANs that must be
  communicated between the switches that span the same bridge. So when
  using tag_8021q on sja1105, it is possible to have 2 switches with
  ports sw0p0, sw0p1, sw1p0, sw1p1, and 2 VLAN-unaware bridges br0 and
  br1, and br0 can take sw0p0 and sw1p0, and br1 can take sw0p1 and
  sw1p1, and forwarding will happen according to the expected rules of
  the Linux bridge.
  We like that, and we don't want that to go away, so as a matter of
  fact, the SJA1110 tagger still needs to support tag_8021q.

So the sja1110 tagger is a hybrid between tag_8021q for data packets,
and the native hardware support for control packets.

On RX, packets have a 13-byte trailer if they contain an RX timestamp.
That trailer is padded in such a way that its byte 8 (the start of the
"residence time" field - not parsed by Linux because we don't care) is
aligned on a 16 byte boundary. So the padding has a variable length
between 0 and 15 bytes. The DSA header contains the offset of the
beginning of the padding relative to the beginning of the frame (and the
end of the padding is obviously the end of the packet minus 13 bytes,
the length of the trailer). So we discard it.

Packets which don't have a trailer contain the source port and switch ID
information in the header (they are "trap-to-host" packets). Packets
which have a trailer contain the source port and switch ID in the trailer.

On TX, the destination port mask and switch ID is always in the trailer,
so we always need to say in the header that a trailer is present.

The header needs a custom EtherType and this was chosen as 0xdadc, after
0xdada which is for Marvell and 0xdadb which is for VLANs in
VLAN-unaware mode on SJA1105 (and SJA1110 in fact too).

Because we use tag_8021q in concert with the native tagging protocol,
control packets will have 2 DSA tags.

<id>urn:sha1:617ef8d9377b9aac381c023cd0823da264c2f463</id>
<content type='text'>
In SJA1105, RX timestamps for packets sent to the CPU are transmitted in
separate follow-up packets (metadata frames). These contain partial
timestamps (24 or 32 bits) which are kept in SJA1105_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;meta_tstamp.

Thankfully, SJA1110 improved that, and the RX timestamps are now
transmitted in-band with the actual packet, in the timestamp trailer.
The RX timestamps are now full-width 64 bits.

Because we process the RX DSA tags in the rcv() method in the tagger,
but we would like to preserve the DSA code structure in that we populate
the skb timestamp in the port_rxtstamp() call which only happens later,
the implication is that we must somehow pass the 64-bit timestamp from
the rcv() method all the way to port_rxtstamp(). We can use the skb-&gt;cb
for that.

Rename the meta_tstamp from struct sja1105_skb_cb from "meta_tstamp" to
"tstamp", and increase its size to 64 bits.

The added value of this function is that it can deal with both the case
where the VLAN header is in the skb head, as well as in the offload field.
This is something I was not able to do using other functions in the
network stack.

Since both ocelot-8021q and sja1105 need to do the same stuff, let's
make it a common service provided by tag_8021q.

This is done as refactoring for the new SJA1110 tagger, which partly
uses tag_8021q as well (just like SJA1105), and will be the third caller.

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().

Add basic support for MRP. The HW will just trap all MRP frames on the
ring ports to CPU and allow the SW to process them. In this way it is
possible to for this node to behave both as MRM and MRC.

Current limitations are:
- it doesn't support Interconnect roles.
- it supports only a single ring.
- the HW should be able to do forwarding of MRP Test frames so the SW
  will not need to do this. So it would be able to have the role MRC
  without SW support.
