      dsa: add switch chip cascading support · e84665c9
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      The initial version of the DSA driver only supported a single switch
      chip per network interface, while DSA-capable switch chips can be
      interconnected to form a tree of switch chips.  This patch adds support
      for multiple switch chips on a network interface.
      
      An example topology for a 16-port device with an embedded CPU is as
      follows:
      
      	+-----+          +--------+       +--------+
      	|     |eth0    10| switch |9    10| switch |
      	| CPU +----------+        +-------+        |
      	|     |          | chip 0 |       | chip 1 |
      	+-----+          +---++---+       +---++---+
      	                     ||               ||
      	                     ||               ||
      	                     ||1000baseT      ||1000baseT
      	                     ||ports 1-8      ||ports 9-16
      
      This requires a couple of interdependent changes in the DSA layer:
      
      - The dsa platform driver data needs to be extended: there is still
        only one netdevice per DSA driver instance (eth0 in the example
        above), but each of the switch chips in the tree needs its own
        mii_bus device pointer, MII management bus address, and port name
        array. (include/net/dsa.h)  The existing in-tree dsa users need
        some small changes to deal with this. (arch/arm)
      
      - The DSA and Ethertype DSA tagging modules need to be extended to
        use the DSA device ID field on receive and demultiplex the packet
        accordingly, and fill in the DSA device ID field on transmit
        according to which switch chip the packet is heading to.
        (net/dsa/tag_{dsa,edsa}.c)
      
      - The concept of "CPU port", which is the switch chip port that the
        CPU is connected to (port 10 on switch chip 0 in the example), needs
        to be extended with the concept of "upstream port", which is the
        port on the switch chip that will bring us one hop closer to the CPU
        (port 10 for both switch chips in the example above).
      
      - The dsa platform data needs to specify which ports on which switch
        chips are links to other switch chips, so that we can enable DSA
        tagging mode on them.  (For inter-switch links, we always use
        non-EtherType DSA tagging, since it has lower overhead.  The CPU
        link uses dsa or edsa tagging depending on what the 'root' switch
        chip supports.)  This is done by specifying "dsa" for the given
        port in the port array.
      
      - The dsa platform data needs to be extended with information on via
        which port to reach any given switch chip from any given switch chip.
        This info is specified via the per-switch chip data struct ->rtable[]
        array, which gives the nexthop ports for each of the other switches
        in the tree.
      
      For the example topology above, the dsa platform data would look
      something like this:
      
      	static struct dsa_chip_data sw[2] = {
      		{
      			.mii_bus	= &foo,
      			.sw_addr	= 1,
      			.port_names[0]	= "p1",
      			.port_names[1]	= "p2",
      			.port_names[2]	= "p3",
      			.port_names[3]	= "p4",
      			.port_names[4]	= "p5",
      			.port_names[5]	= "p6",
      			.port_names[6]	= "p7",
      			.port_names[7]	= "p8",
      			.port_names[9]	= "dsa",
      			.port_names[10]	= "cpu",
      			.rtable		= (s8 []){ -1, 9, },
      		}, {
      			.mii_bus	= &foo,
      			.sw_addr	= 2,
      			.port_names[0]	= "p9",
      			.port_names[1]	= "p10",
      			.port_names[2]	= "p11",
      			.port_names[3]	= "p12",
      			.port_names[4]	= "p13",
      			.port_names[5]	= "p14",
      			.port_names[6]	= "p15",
      			.port_names[7]	= "p16",
      			.port_names[10]	= "dsa",
      			.rtable		= (s8 []){ 10, -1, },
      		},
      	},
      
      	static struct dsa_platform_data pd = {
      		.netdev		= &foo,
      		.nr_switches	= 2,
      		.sw		= sw,
      	};

      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Add support for the Marvell 88E6095/6095F switch chips.  These
      chips are similar to the 88e6131, so we can add the support to
      mv88e6131.c easily.
      
      Thanks to Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com> and Jesper Dangaard
      Brouer <hawk@diku.dk> for testing various patches.

      dsa: add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chip · 2e5f0320
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chip.  This chip only
      supports the original (ethertype-less) DSA tagging format.
      
      On the 88E6131, there is a PHY Polling Unit (PPU) which has exclusive
      access to each of the PHYs's MII management registers.  If we want to
      talk to the PHYs from software, we have to disable the PPU and wait
      for it to complete its current transaction before we can do so, and we
      need to re-enable the PPU afterwards to make sure that the switch will
      notice changes in link state and speed on the individual ports as they
      occur.
      
      Since disabling the PPU is rather slow, and since MII management
      accesses are typically done in bursts, this patch keeps the PPU disabled
      for 10ms after a software access completes.  This makes handling the
      PPU slightly more complex, but speeds up something like running ethtool
      on one of the switch slave interfaces from ~300ms to ~30ms on typical
      hardware.
