[ Upstream commit c73c57081b3d59aa99093fbedced32ea02620cd3 ]

Commit 08cc83cc7fd8 ("net: dsa: add support for BRIDGE_MROUTER
attribute") added an option for users to turn off multicast flooding
towards the CPU if they turn off the IGMP querier on a bridge which
already has enslaved ports (echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_router).

And commit a8b659e7ff75 ("net: dsa: act as passthrough for bridge port flags")
simply papered over that issue, because it moved the decision to flood
the CPU with multicast (or not) from the DSA core down to individual drivers,
instead of taking a more radical position then.

The truth is that disabling multicast flooding to the CPU is simply
something we are not prepared to do now, if at all. Some reasons:

- ICMP6 neighbor solicitation messages are unregistered multicast
  packets as far as the bridge is concerned. So if we stop flooding
  multicast, the outside world cannot ping the bridge device's IPv6
  link-local address.

- There might be foreign interfaces bridged with our DSA switch ports
  (sending a packet towards the host does not necessarily equal
  termination, but maybe software forwarding). So if there is no one
  interested in that multicast traffic in the local network stack, that
  doesn't mean nobody is.

- PTP over L4 (IPv4, IPv6) is multicast, but is unregistered as far as
  the bridge is concerned. This should reach the CPU port.

- The switch driver might not do FDB partitioning. And since we don't
  even bother to do more fine-grained flood disabling (such as "disable
  flooding _from_port_N_ towards the CPU port" as opposed to "disable
  flooding _from_any_port_ towards the CPU port"), this breaks standalone
  ports, or even multiple bridges where one has an IGMP querier and one
  doesn't.

Reverting the logic makes all of the above work.

[ Upstream commit 7df4e7449489d82cee6813dccbb4ae4f3f26ef7b ]

Qingfang points out that when a bridge with the default settings is
created and a port joins it:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link set swp0 master br0

DSA calls br_multicast_router() on the bridge to see if the br0 device
is a multicast router port, and if it is, it enables multicast flooding
to the CPU port, otherwise it disables it.

If we look through the multicast_router_show() sysfs or at the
IFLA_BR_MCAST_ROUTER netlink attribute, we see that the default mrouter
attribute for the bridge device is "1" (MDB_RTR_TYPE_TEMP_QUERY).

However, br_multicast_router() will return "0" (MDB_RTR_TYPE_DISABLED),
because an mrouter port in the MDB_RTR_TYPE_TEMP_QUERY state may not be
actually _active_ until it receives an actual IGMP query. So, the
br_multicast_router() function should really have been called
br_multicast_router_active() perhaps.

When/if an IGMP query is received, the bridge device will transition via
br_multicast_mark_router() into the active state until the
ip4_mc_router_timer expires after an multicast_querier_interval.

Of course, this does not happen if the bridge is created with an
mcast_router attribute of "2" (MDB_RTR_TYPE_PERM).

The point is that in lack of any IGMP query messages, and in the default
bridge configuration, unregistered multicast packets will not be able to
reach the CPU port through flooding, and this breaks many use cases
(most obviously, IPv6 ND, with its ICMP6 neighbor solicitation multicast
messages).

Leave the multicast flooding setting towards the CPU port down to a driver
level decision.

When we join a bridge that already has some local addresses pointing to
itself, we do not get those notifications. Similarly, when we leave that
bridge, we do not get notifications for the deletion of those entries.
The only switchdev notifications we get are those of entries added while
the DSA port is enslaved to the bridge.

This makes use cases such as the following work properly (with the
number of additions and removals properly balanced):

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add br1 type bridge
ip link set br0 address 00:01:02:03:04:05
ip link set br1 address 00:01:02:03:04:05
ip link set swp0 up
ip link set swp1 up
ip link set swp0 master br0
ip link set swp1 master br1
ip link set br0 up
ip link set br1 up
ip link del br1 # 00:01:02:03:04:05 still installed on the CPU port
ip link del br0 # 00:01:02:03:04:05 finally removed from the CPU port

If the DSA master implements strict address filtering, then the unicast
and multicast addresses kept by the DSA CPU ports should be synchronized
with the address lists of the DSA master.

Note that we want the synchronization of the master's address lists even
if the DSA switch doesn't support unicast/multicast database operations,
on the premises that the packets will be flooded to the CPU in that
case, and we should still instruct the master to receive them. This is
why we do the dev_uc_add() etc first, even if dsa_port_notify() returns
-EOPNOTSUPP. In turn, dev_uc_add() and friends return error only if
memory allocation fails, so it is probably ok to check and propagate
that error code and not just ignore it.

<title>net: dsa: introduce a separate cross-chip notifier type for host FDBs</title>

<content type='text'>
DSA treats some bridge FDB entries by trapping them to the CPU port.
Currently, the only class of such entries are FDB addresses learnt by
the software bridge on a foreign interface. However there are many more
to be added:

- FDB entries with the is_local flag (for termination) added by the
  bridge on the user ports (typically containing the MAC address of the
  bridge port)
- FDB entries pointing towards the bridge net device (for termination).
  Typically these contain the MAC address of the bridge net device.
- Static FDB entries installed on a foreign interface that is in the
  same bridge with a DSA user port.

The reason why a separate cross-chip notifier for host FDBs is justified
compared to normal FDBs is the same as in the case of host MDBs: the
cross-chip notifier matching function in switch.c should avoid
installing these entries on routing ports that route towards the
targeted switch, but not towards the CPU. This is required in order to
have proper support for H-like multi-chip topologies.

Commit abd49535c380 ("net: dsa: execute dsa_switch_mdb_add only for
routing port in cross-chip topologies") does a surprisingly good job
even for the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB use case, where DSA simply
translates a switchdev object received on dp into a cross-chip notifier
for dp-&gt;cpu_dp.

To visualize how that works, imagine the daisy chain topology below and
consider a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB object emitted on sw2p0. How does
the cross-chip notifier know to match on all the right ports (sw0p4, the
dedicated CPU port, sw1p4, an upstream DSA link, and sw2p4, another
upstream DSA link)?

                                                |
       sw0p0     sw0p1     sw0p2     sw0p3     sw0p4
    [  user ] [  user ] [  user ] [  dsa  ] [  cpu  ]
    [       ] [       ] [       ] [       ] [   x   ]
                                      |
                                      +---------+
                                                |
       sw1p0     sw1p1     sw1p2     sw1p3     sw1p4
    [  user ] [  user ] [  user ] [  dsa  ] [  dsa  ]
    [       ] [       ] [       ] [       ] [   x   ]
                                      |
                                      +---------+
                                                |
       sw2p0     sw2p1     sw2p2     sw2p3     sw2p4
    [  user ] [  user ] [  user ] [  user ] [  dsa  ]
    [       ] [       ] [       ] [       ] [   x   ]

The answer is simple: the dedicated CPU port of sw2p0 is sw0p4, and
dsa_routing_port returns the upstream port for all switches.

That is fine, but there are other topologies where this does not work as
well. There are trees with "H" topologies in the wild, where there are 2
or more switches with DSA links between them, but every switch has its
dedicated CPU port. For these topologies, it seems stupid for the neighbor
switches to install an MDB entry on the routing port, since these
multicast addresses are fundamentally different than the usual ones we
support (and that is the justification for this patch, to introduce the
concept of a termination plane multicast MAC address, as opposed to a
forwarding plane multicast MAC address).

For example, when a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB would get added to sw0p0,
without this patch, it would get treated as a regular port MDB on sw0p2
and it would match on the ports below (including the sw1p3 routing port).

                         |                                  |
    sw0p0     sw0p1     sw0p2     sw0p3          sw1p3     sw1p2     sw1p1     sw1p0
 [  user ] [  user ] [  cpu  ] [  dsa  ]      [  dsa  ] [  cpu  ] [  user ] [  user ]
 [       ] [       ] [   x   ] [       ] ---- [   x   ] [       ] [       ] [       ]

With the patch, the host MDB notifier on sw0p0 matches only on the local
switch, which is what we want for a termination plane address.

                         |                                  |
    sw0p0     sw0p1     sw0p2     sw0p3          sw1p3     sw1p2     sw1p1     sw1p0
 [  user ] [  user ] [  cpu  ] [  dsa  ]      [  dsa  ] [  cpu  ] [  user ] [  user ]
 [       ] [       ] [   x   ] [       ] ---- [       ] [       ] [       ] [       ]

Name this new matching function "dsa_switch_host_address_match" since we
will be reusing it soon for host FDB entries as well.

When a DSA switch port leaves a bonding interface that is under a
bridge, there might be dangling switchdev objects on that port left
behind, because the bridge is not aware that its lower interface (the
bond) changed state in any way.

Call the bridge replay helpers with adding=false before changing
dp-&gt;bridge_dev to NULL, because we need to simulate to
dsa_slave_port_obj_del() that these notifications were emitted by the
bridge.

We add this hook to the NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER event handler, because
we are calling into switchdev (and the __switchdev_handle_port_obj_del
fanout helpers expect the upper/lower adjacency lists to still be valid)
and PRECHANGEUPPER is the last moment in time when they still are.

When a switchdev port leaves a LAG that is a bridge port, the switchdev
objects and port attributes offloaded to that port are not removed:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad
ip link set swp0 master bond0
ip link set bond0 master br0
bridge vlan add dev bond0 vid 100
ip link set swp0 nomaster

VLAN 100 will remain installed on swp0 despite it going into standalone
mode, because as far as the bridge is concerned, nothing ever happened
to its bridge port.

Let's extend the bridge vlan, fdb and mdb replay functions to take a
'bool adding' argument, and make DSA and ocelot call the replay
functions with 'adding' as false from the switchdev unsync path, for the
switch port that leaves the bridge.

Note that this patch in itself does not salvage anything, because in the
current pull mode of operation, DSA still needs to call the replay
helpers with adding=false. This will be done in another patch.

<content type='text'>
There is a slight inconvenience in the switchdev replay helpers added
recently, and this is when:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link add bond0 type bond
ip link set bond0 master br0
bridge vlan add dev bond0 vid 100
ip link set swp0 master bond0
ip link set swp1 master bond0

Since the underlying driver (currently only DSA) asks for a replay of
VLANs when swp0 and swp1 join the LAG because it is bridged, what will
happen is that DSA will try to react twice on the VLAN event for swp0.
This is not really a huge problem right now, because most drivers accept
duplicates since the bridge itself does, but it will become a problem
when we add support for replaying switchdev object deletions.

Let's fix this by adding a blank void *ctx in the replay helpers, which
will be passed on by the bridge in the switchdev notifications. If the
context is NULL, everything is the same as before. But if the context is
populated with a valid pointer, the underlying switchdev driver
(currently DSA) can use the pointer to 'see through' the bridge port
(which in the example above is bond0) and 'know' that the event is only
for a particular physical port offloading that bridge port, and not for
all of them.

<title>net: dsa: targeted MTU notifiers should only match on one port</title>

dsa_slave_change_mtu() calls dsa_port_mtu_change() twice:
- it sends a cross-chip notifier with the MTU of the CPU port which is
  used to update the DSA links.
- it sends one targeted MTU notifier which is supposed to only match the
  user port on which we are changing the MTU. The "propagate_upstream"
  variable is used here to bypass the cross-chip notifier system from
  switch.c

But due to a mistake, the second, targeted notifier matches not only on
the user port, but also on the DSA link which is a member of the same
switch, if that exists.

And because the DSA links of the entire dst were programmed in a
previous round to the largest_mtu via a "propagate_upstream == true"
notification, then the dsa_port_mtu_change(propagate_upstream == false)
call that is immediately upcoming will break the MTU on the one DSA link
which is chip-wise local to the dp whose MTU is changing right now.

Example given this daisy chain topology:

ip link set sw0p2 mtu 1500 # this programs the sw0p3 DSA link first to
                           # the largest_mtu of 9000, then reprograms it to
                           # 1500 with the "propagate_upstream == false"
                           # notifier, breaking communication between
                           # sw0p1 and sw1p1

To escape from this situation, make the targeted match really match on a
single port - the user port, and rename the "propagate_upstream"
variable to "targeted_match" to clarify the intention and avoid future
issues.
