Normally it is expected that the dsa_device_ops :: rcv() method finishes
parsing the DSA tag and consumes it, then never looks at it again.
But commit c0bcf53766 ("net: dsa: ocelot: add hardware timestamping
support for Felix") added support for RX timestamping in a very
unconventional way. On this switch, a partial timestamp is available in
the DSA header, but the driver got away with not parsing that timestamp
right away, but instead delayed that parsing for a little longer:
dsa_switch_rcv():
nskb = cpu_dp->rcv(skb, dev); <------------- not here
-> ocelot_rcv()
...
skb = nskb;
skb_push(skb, ETH_HLEN);
skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;
skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, skb->dev);
...
if (dsa_skb_defer_rx_timestamp(p, skb)) <--- but here
-> felix_rxtstamp()
return 0;
When in felix_rxtstamp(), this driver accounted for the fact that
eth_type_trans() happened in the meanwhile, so it got a hold of the
extraction header again by subtracting (ETH_HLEN + OCELOT_TAG_LEN) bytes
from the current skb->data.
This worked for quite some time but was quite fragile from the very
beginning. Not to mention that having DSA tag parsing split in two
different files, under different folders (net/dsa/tag_ocelot.c vs
drivers/net/dsa/ocelot/felix.c) made it quite non-obvious for patches to
come that they might break this.
Finally, the blamed commit does the following: at the end of
ocelot_rcv(), it checks whether the skb payload contains a VLAN header.
If it does, and this port is under a VLAN-aware bridge, that VLAN ID
might not be correct in the sense that the packet might have suffered
VLAN rewriting due to TCAM rules (VCAP IS1). So we consume the VLAN ID
from the skb payload using __skb_vlan_pop(), and take the classified
VLAN ID from the DSA tag, and construct a hwaccel VLAN tag with the
classified VLAN, and the skb payload is VLAN-untagged.
The big problem is that __skb_vlan_pop() does:
memmove(skb->data + VLAN_HLEN, skb->data, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
__skb_pull(skb, VLAN_HLEN);
aka it moves the Ethernet header 4 bytes to the right, and pulls 4 bytes
from the skb headroom (effectively also moving skb->data, by definition).
So for felix_rxtstamp()'s fragile logic, all bets are off now.
Instead of having the "extraction" pointer point to the DSA header,
it actually points to 4 bytes _inside_ the extraction header.
Corollary, the last 4 bytes of the "extraction" header are in fact 4
stale bytes of the destination MAC address from the Ethernet header,
from prior to the __skb_vlan_pop() movement.
So of course, RX timestamps are completely bogus when the system is
configured in this way.
The fix is actually very simple: just don't structure the code like that.
For better or worse, the DSA PTP timestamping API does not offer a
straightforward way for drivers to present their RX timestamps, but
other drivers (sja1105) have established a simple mechanism to carry
their RX timestamp from dsa_device_ops :: rcv() all the way to
dsa_switch_ops :: port_rxtstamp() and even later. That mechanism is to
simply save the partial timestamp to the skb->cb, and complete it later.
Question: why don't we simply populate the skb's struct
skb_shared_hwtstamps from ocelot_rcv(), and bother with this
complication of propagating the timestamp to felix_rxtstamp()?
Answer: dsa_switch_ops :: port_rxtstamp() answers the question whether
PTP packets need sleepable context to retrieve the full RX timestamp.
Currently felix_rxtstamp() answers "no, thanks" to that question, and
calls ocelot_ptp_gettime64() from softirq atomic context. This is
understandable, since Felix VSC9959 is a PCIe memory-mapped switch, so
hardware access does not require sleeping. But the felix driver is
preparing for the introduction of other switches where hardware access
is over a slow bus like SPI or MDIO:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210814025003.2449143-1-colin.foster@in-advantage.com/
So I would like to keep this code structure, so the rework needed when
that driver will need PTP support will be minimal (answer "yes, I need
deferred context for this skb's RX timestamp", then the partial
timestamp will still be found in the skb->cb.

Michael reported that when using the "ocelot-8021q" tagging protocol,
the switch driver module must be manually loaded before the tagging
protocol can be loaded/is available.
This appears to be the same problem described here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
where due to the fact that DSA tagging protocols make use of symbols
exported by the switch drivers, circular dependencies appear and this
breaks module autoloading.
The ocelot_8021q driver needs the ocelot_can_inject() and
ocelot_port_inject_frame() functions from the switch library. Previously
the wrong approach was taken to solve that dependency: shims were
provided for the case where the ocelot switch library was compiled out,
but that turns out to be insufficient, because the dependency when the
switch lib _is_ compiled is problematic too.
We cannot declare ocelot_can_inject() and ocelot_port_inject_frame() as
static inline functions, because these access I/O functions like
__ocelot_write_ix() which is called by ocelot_write_rix(). Making those
static inline basically means exposing the whole guts of the ocelot
switch library, not ideal...
We already have one tagging protocol driver which calls into the switch
driver during xmit but not using any exported symbol: sja1105_defer_xmit.
We can do the same thing here: create a kthread worker and one work item
per skb, and let the switch driver itself do the register accesses to
send the skb, and then consume it.

As explained here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
DSA tagging protocol drivers cannot depend on symbols exported by switch
drivers, because this creates a circular dependency that breaks module
autoloading.
The tag_ocelot.c file depends on the ocelot_ptp_rew_op() function
exported by the common ocelot switch lib. This function looks at
OCELOT_SKB_CB(skb) and computes how to populate the REW_OP field of the
DSA tag, for PTP timestamping (the command: one-step/two-step, and the
TX timestamp identifier).
None of that requires deep insight into the driver, it is quite
stateless, as it only depends upon the skb->cb. So let's make it a
static inline function and put it in include/linux/dsa/ocelot.h, a
file that despite its name is used by the ocelot switch driver for
populating the injection header too - since commit 40d3f295b5 ("net:
mscc: ocelot: use common tag parsing code with DSA").
With that function declared as static inline, its body is expanded
inside each call site, so the dependency is broken and the DSA tagger
can be built without the switch library, upon which the felix driver
depends.

The VLAN TCI contains more than the VLAN ID, it also has the VLAN PCP
and Drop Eligibility Indicator.
If the ocelot driver is going to write the VLAN header inside the DSA

Add basic support for MRP. The HW will just trap all MRP frames on the
ring ports to CPU and allow the SW to process them. In this way it is
possible to for this node to behave both as MRM and MRC.
Current limitations are:
- it doesn't support Interconnect roles.
- it supports only a single ring.
- the HW should be able to do forwarding of MRP Test frames so the SW
will not need to do this. So it would be able to have the role MRC
without SW support.

The ocelot tagger is a hot mess currently, it relies on memory
initialized by the attached driver for basic frame transmission.
This is against all that DSA tagging protocols stand for, which is that
the transmission and reception of a DSA-tagged frame, the data path,
should be independent from the switch control path, because the tag
protocol is in principle hot-pluggable and reusable across switches
(even if in practice it wasn't until very recently). But if another
driver like dsa_loop wants to make use of tag_ocelot, it couldn't.
This was done to have common code between Felix and Ocelot, which have
one bit difference in the frame header format. Quoting from commit
67c2404922 ("net: dsa: felix: create a template for the DSA tags on
xmit"):
Other alternatives have been analyzed, such as:
- Create a separate tag_seville.c: too much code duplication for just 1
bit field difference.
- Create a separate DSA_TAG_PROTO_SEVILLE under tag_ocelot.c, just like
tag_brcm.c, which would have a separate .xmit function. Again, too
much code duplication for just 1 bit field difference.
- Allocate the template from the init function of the tag_ocelot.c
module, instead of from the driver: couldn't figure out a method of
accessing the correct port template corresponding to the correct
tagger in the .xmit function.
The really interesting part is that Seville should have had its own
tagging protocol defined - it is not compatible on the wire with Ocelot,
even for that single bit. In principle, a packet generated by
DSA_TAG_PROTO_OCELOT when booted on NXP LS1028A would look in a certain
way, but when booted on NXP T1040 it would look differently. The reverse
is also true: a packet generated by a Seville switch would be
interpreted incorrectly by Wireshark if it was told it was generated by
an Ocelot switch.
Actually things are a bit more nuanced. If we concentrate only on the
DSA tag, what I said above is true, but Ocelot/Seville also support an
optional DSA tag prefix, which can be short or long, and it is possible
to distinguish the two taggers based on an integer constant put in that
prefix. Nonetheless, creating a separate tagger is still justified,
since the tag prefix is optional, and without it, there is again no way
to distinguish.
Claiming backwards binary compatibility is a bit more tough, since I've
already changed the format of tag_ocelot once, in commit 5124197ce5
("net: dsa: tag_ocelot: use a short prefix on both ingress and egress").
Therefore I am not very concerned with treating this as a bugfix and
backporting it to stable kernels (which would be another mess due to the
fact that there would be lots of conflicts with the other DSA_TAG_PROTO*
definitions). It's just simpler to say that the string values of the
taggers have ABI value starting with kernel 5.12, which will be when the
changing of tag protocol via /sys/class/net/<dsa-master>/dsa/tagging
goes live.

The Injection Frame Header and Extraction Frame Header that the switch
prepends to frames over the NPI port is also prepended to frames
delivered over the CPU port module's queues.
Let's unify the handling of the frame headers by making the ocelot
driver call some helpers exported by the DSA tagger. Among other things,
this allows us to get rid of the strange cpu_to_be32 when transmitting
the Injection Frame Header on ocelot, since the packing API uses
network byte order natively (when "quirks" is 0).
The comments above ocelot_gen_ifh talk about setting pop_cnt to 3, and
the cpu extraction queue mask to something, but the code doesn't do it,
so we don't do it either.
