      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: Pass original device to port netdev driver · 6ff64f6f
      Ido Schimmel 提交于
      switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was
      invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top
      of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the
      underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular
      VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port.
      
      However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down
      to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the
      driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute.
      
      This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply
      enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device
      and act accordingly.
