      bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices · 6bc506b4
      Ido Schimmel 提交于
      switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of
      port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be
      flooded twice.
      
      It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first
      bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents
      packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood
      packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch.
      
      This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account,
      such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper
      devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two
      different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which
      is impossible.
      
      The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the
      physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports,
      which are not necessarily port netdevs.
      
      Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge
      driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already
      forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark
      assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from
      being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e.
      having the same parent ID).
      
      Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and
      instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the
      sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

      switchdev: Require RTNL mutex to be held when sending FDB notifications · 4f2c6ae5
      Ido Schimmel 提交于
      When switchdev drivers process FDB notifications from the underlying
      device they resolve the netdev to which the entry points to and notify
      the bridge using the switchdev notifier.
      
      However, since the RTNL mutex is not held there is nothing preventing
      the netdev from disappearing in the middle, which will cause
      br_switchdev_event() to dereference a non-existing netdev.
      
      Make switchdev drivers hold the lock at the beginning of the
      notification processing session and release it once it ends, after
      notifying the bridge.
      
      Also, remove switchdev_mutex and fdb_lock, as they are no longer needed
      when RTNL mutex is held.
