net: switchdev: add a context void pointer to struct switchdev_notifier_info

2021-06-28T21:09:03Z

In the case where the driver asks for a replay of a certain type of event (port object or attribute) for a bridge port that is a LAG, it may do so because this port has just joined the LAG. But there might already be other switchdev ports in that LAG, and it is preferable that those preexisting switchdev ports do not act upon the replayed event. The solution is to add a context to switchdev events, which is NULL most of the time (when the bridge layer initiates the call) but which can be set to a value controlled by the switchdev driver when a replay is requested. The driver can then check the context to figure out if all ports within the LAG should act upon the switchdev event, or just the ones that match the context. We have to modify all switchdev_handle_* helper functions as well as the prototypes in the drivers that use these helpers too, because these helpers hide the underlying struct switchdev_notifier_info from us and there is no way to retrieve the context otherwise. The context structure will be populated and used in later patches. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: switchdev: use obj-$(CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV) form in net/Makefile

CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is a bool option. Change the ifeq conditional to the standard obj-$(CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV) form. Use obj-y in net/switchdev/Makefile because Kbuild visits this Makefile only when CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV=y.

net: switchdev: don't set port_obj_info->handled true when -EOPNOTSUPP

2021-01-28T00:41:59Z

It's not true that switchdev_port_obj_notify() only inspects the ->handled field of "struct switchdev_notifier_port_obj_info" if call_switchdev_blocking_notifiers() returns 0 - there's a WARN_ON() triggering for a non-zero return combined with ->handled not being true. But the real problem here is that -EOPNOTSUPP is not being properly handled. The wrapper functions switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() et al change a return value of -EOPNOTSUPP to 0, and the treatment of ->handled in switchdev_port_obj_notify() seems to be designed to change that back to -EOPNOTSUPP in case nobody actually acted on the notifier (i.e., everybody returned -EOPNOTSUPP). Currently, as soon as some device down the stack passes the check_cb() check, ->handled gets set to true, which means that switchdev_port_obj_notify() cannot actually ever return -EOPNOTSUPP. This, for example, means that the detection of hardware offload support in the MRP code is broken: switchdev_port_obj_add() used by br_mrp_switchdev_send_ring_test() always returns 0, so since the MRP code thinks the generation of MRP test frames has been offloaded, no such frames are actually put on the wire. Similarly, br_mrp_switchdev_set_ring_role() also always returns 0, causing mrp->ring_role_offloaded to be set to 1. To fix this, continue to set ->handled true if any callback returns success or any error distinct from -EOPNOTSUPP. But if all the callbacks return -EOPNOTSUPP, make sure that ->handled stays false, so the logic in switchdev_port_obj_notify() can propagate that information.

net: switchdev: remove the transaction structure from port attributes

2021-01-12T00:00:57Z

Since the introduction of the switchdev API, port attributes were transmitted to drivers for offloading using a two-step transactional model, with a prepare phase that was supposed to catch all errors, and a commit phase that was supposed to never fail. Some classes of failures can never be avoided, like hardware access, or memory allocation. In the latter case, merely attempting to move the memory allocation to the preparation phase makes it impossible to avoid memory leaks, since commit 91cf8eceffc1 ("switchdev: Remove unused transaction item queue") which has removed the unused mechanism of passing on the allocated memory between one phase and another. It is time we admit that separating the preparation from the commit phase is something that is best left for the driver to decide, and not something that should be baked into the API, especially since there are no switchdev callers that depend on this. This patch removes the struct switchdev_trans member from switchdev port attribute notifier structures, and converts drivers to not look at this member. In part, this patch contains a revert of my previous commit 2e554a7a5d8a ("net: dsa: propagate switchdev vlan_filtering prepare phase to drivers"). For the most part, the conversion was trivial except for: - Rocker's world implementation based on Broadcom OF-DPA had an odd implementation of ofdpa_port_attr_bridge_flags_set. The conversion was done mechanically, by pasting the implementation twice, then only keeping the code that would get executed during prepare phase on top, then only keeping the code that gets executed during the commit phase on bottom, then simplifying the resulting code until this was obtained. - DSA's offloading of STP state, bridge flags, VLAN filtering and multicast router could be converted right away. But the ageing time could not, so a shim was introduced and this was left for a further commit.

net: switchdev: remove the transaction structure from port object notifiers

2021-01-12T00:00:56Z

Since the introduction of the switchdev API, port objects were transmitted to drivers for offloading using a two-step transactional model, with a prepare phase that was supposed to catch all errors, and a commit phase that was supposed to never fail. Some classes of failures can never be avoided, like hardware access, or memory allocation. In the latter case, merely attempting to move the memory allocation to the preparation phase makes it impossible to avoid memory leaks, since commit 91cf8eceffc1 ("switchdev: Remove unused transaction item queue") which has removed the unused mechanism of passing on the allocated memory between one phase and another. It is time we admit that separating the preparation from the commit phase is something that is best left for the driver to decide, and not something that should be baked into the API, especially since there are no switchdev callers that depend on this. This patch removes the struct switchdev_trans member from switchdev port object notifier structures, and converts drivers to not look at this member. Where driver conversion is trivial (like in the case of the Marvell Prestera driver, NXP DPAA2 switch, TI CPSW, and Rocker drivers), it is done in this patch. Where driver conversion needs more attention (DSA, Mellanox Spectrum), the conversion is left for subsequent patches and here we only fake the prepare/commit phases at a lower level, just not in the switchdev notifier itself. Where the code has a natural structure that is best left alone as a preparation and a commit phase (as in the case of the Ocelot switch), that structure is left in place, just made to not depend upon the switchdev transactional model.
