Currently, chain 0 is implicitly created during block creation. However
that does not align with chain object exposure, creation and destruction
api introduced later on. So make the chain 0 behave the same way as any
other chain and only create it when it is needed. Since chain 0 is
somehow special as the qdiscs need to hold pointer to the first chain
tp, this requires to move the chain head change callback infra to the
block structure.

net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: add MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload
This series adds MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload for TI cpsw driver.
It potentially can be used in audio video bridging (AVB) and time
sensitive networking (TSN).
Patchset was tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards. Last patch from this
series adds detailed description of configuration with examples. For
consistency reasons, in role of talker and listener, tools from
patchset "TSN: Add qdisc based config interface for CBS" were used and
can be seen here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg460869.html
Based on net-next/master
v5..v4:
- corrected typo of "am57xx" board name, no functional changes
v4..v3:
- nothing, just rebase
v3..v2:
- corrected typo of "shaper" word, no functional changes
v2..v1:
- changed name cpsw.txt on ti-cpsw.txt
- changed name cpsw_set_tc() on cpsw_set_mqprio()

Need to restore shapers configuration after interface was down/up.
This is needed as appropriate configuration is still replicated in
kernel settings. This only shapers context restore, so vlan
configuration should be restored by user if needed, especially for

The cpsw has up to 4 FIFOs per port and upper 3 FIFOs can feed rate
limited queue with shaping. In order to set and enable shaping for
those 3 FIFOs queues the network device with CBS qdisc attached is
needed. The CBS configuration is added for dual-emac/single port mode
only, but potentially can be used in switch mode also, based on
switchdev for instance.
Despite the FIFO shapers can work w/o cpdma level shapers the base
usage must be in combine with cpdma level shapers as described in TRM,
that are set as maximum rates for interface queues with sysfs.
One of the possible configuration with txq shapers and CBS shapers:

\ FIFO shaper, set with CBS offload added in this patch,
\ FIFO0 cannot be rate limited
------------------------------------------------------
CBS shaper configuration is supposed to be used with root MQPRIO Qdisc
offload allowing to add sk_prio->tc->txq maps that direct traffic to
appropriate tx queue and maps L2 priority to FIFO shaper.
The CBS shaper is intended to be used for AVB where L2 priority
(pcp field) is used to differentiate class of traffic. So additionally
vlan needs to be created with appropriate egress sk_prio->l2 prio map.
If CBS has several tx queues assigned to it, the sum of their
bandwidth has not overlap bandwidth set for CBS. It's recomended the
CBS bandwidth to be a little bit more.
The CBS shaper is configured with CBS qdisc offload interface using tc
tool from iproute2 packet.
For instance:
$ tc qdisc replace dev eth0 handle 100: parent root mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 1
$ tc -g class show dev eth0
+---(100:ffe2) mqprio
| +---(100:3) mqprio
| +---(100:4) mqprio
|
+---(100:ffe1) mqprio
| +---(100:2) mqprio
|
+---(100:ffe0) mqprio
+---(100:1) mqprio
$ tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 100:1 cbs locredit -1440 \
hicredit 60 sendslope -960000 idleslope 40000 offload 1
$ tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 100:2 cbs locredit -1470 \
hicredit 62 sendslope -980000 idleslope 20000 offload 1
The above code set CBS shapers for tc0 and tc1, for that txq0 and
txq1 is used. Pay attention, the real set bandwidth can differ a bit
due to discreteness of configuration parameters.
Here parameters like locredit, hicredit and sendslope are ignored
internally and are supposed to be set with assumption that maximum
frame size for frame - 1500.
It's supposed that interface speed is not changed while reconnection,
not always is true, so inform user in case speed of interface was
changed, as it can impact on dependent shapers configuration.
For more examples see Documentation.

That's possible to offload vlan to tc priority mapping with
assumption sk_prio == L2 prio.
Example:
$ ethtool -L eth0 rx 1 tx 4
$ qdisc replace dev eth0 handle 100: parent root mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 1

|
+---(100:ffe1) mqprio
| +---(100:2) mqprio
|
+---(100:ffe0) mqprio
+---(100:1) mqprio
Here, 100:1 is txq0, 100:2 is txq1, 100:3 is txq2, 100:4 is txq3
txq0 belongs to tc0, txq1 to tc1, txq2 and txq3 to tc2
The offload part only maps L2 prio to classes of traffic, but not
to transmit queues, so to direct traffic to traffic class vlan has
to be created with appropriate egress map.

The cpdma channel highest priority is from hi to lo number.
The driver has limited number of descriptors that are shared between
number of cpdma channels. Number of queues can be tuned with ethtool,
that allows to not spend descriptors on not needed cpdma channels.
In AVB usually only 2 tx queues can be enough with rate limitation.
The rate limitation can be used only for hi priority queues. Thus, to
use only 2 queues the 8 has to be created. It's wasteful.
So, in order to allow using only needed number of rate limited
tx queues, save resources, and be able to set rate limitation for
them, let assign tx cpdma channels in backward order to queues.

The tracer has one event, event 0x26, with two subtypes:
- Subtype 0: Ownership change
- Subtype 1: Traces available
An ownership change occurs in the following cases:
1- Owner releases his ownership, in this case, an event will be
sent to inform others to reattempt acquire ownership.
2- Ownership was taken by a higher priority tool, in this case
the owner should understand that it lost ownership, and go through
tear down flow.
The second subtype indicates that there are traces in the trace buffer,
in this case, the driver polls the tracer buffer for new traces, parse
them and prepares the messages for printing.
The HW starts tracing from the first address in the tracer buffer.
Driver receives an event notifying that new trace block exists.
HW posts a timestamp event at the last 8B of every 256B block.
Comparing the timestamp to the last handled timestamp would indicate
that this is a new trace block. Once the new timestamp is detected,
the entire block is considered valid.
Block validation and parsing, should be done after copying the current
block to a different location, in order to avoid block overwritten
during processing.

net: bridge: add support for backup port
This set introduces a new bridge port option that allows any port to have
any other port (in the same bridge of course) as its backup and traffic
will be forwarded to the backup port when the primary goes down. This is
mainly used in MLAG and EVPN setups where we have peerlink path which is
a backup of many (or even all) ports and is a participating bridge port
itself. There's more detailed information in patch 02. Patch 01 just
prepares the port sysfs code for options that take raw value. The main
issues that this set solves are scalability and fallback latency.
We have used similar code for over 6 months now to bring the fallback
latency of the backup peerlink down and avoid fdb notification storms.
Also due to the nature of master devices such setup is currently not
possible, and last but not least having tens of thousands of fdbs require
thousands of calls to switch.
I've also CCed our MLAG experts that have been using similar option.

"Two switches acting in a MLAG pair are connected by the peerlink
interface which is a bridge port.
the config on one of the switches looks like the below. The other
switch also has a similar config.
eth0 is connected to one port on the server. And the server is
connected to both switches.
br0 -- team0---eth0
|
-- switch-peerlink
switch-peerlink becomes the failover/backport port when say team0 to
the server goes down.
Today, when team0 goes down, control plane has to withdraw all the fdb
entries pointing to team0
and re-install the fdb entries pointing to switch-peerlink...and
restore the fdb entries when team0 comes back up again.
and this is the problem we are trying to solve.
This also becomes necessary when multihoming is implemented by a
standard like E-VPN https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8365#section-8
where the 'switch-peerlink' is an overlay vxlan port (like nikolay
mentions in his patch commit). In these implementations, the fdb scale
can be much larger.
On why bond failover cannot be used here ?: the point that nikolay was
alluding to is, switch-peerlink in the above example is a bridge port
and is a failover/backport port for more than one or all ports in the
bridge br0. And you cannot enslave switch-peerlink into a second level
team
with other bridge ports. Hence a multi layered team device is not an
option (FWIW, switch-peerlink is also a teamed interface to the peer
switch)."
v3: Added Roopa's explanation and diagram
v2: In patch 01 use kstrdup/kfree to avoid casting the const buf. In order
to avoid using GFP_ATOMIC or always allocating I kept the spinlock inside
each branch.

This patch adds a new port attribute - IFLA_BRPORT_BACKUP_PORT, which
allows to set a backup port to be used for known unicast traffic if the
port has gone carrier down. The backup pointer is rcu protected and set
only under RTNL, a counter is maintained so when deleting a port we know
how many other ports reference it as a backup and we remove it from all.
Also the pointer is in the first cache line which is hot at the time of
the check and thus in the common case we only add one more test.
The backup port will be used only for the non-flooding case since
it's a part of the bridge and the flooded packets will be forwarded to it
anyway. To remove the forwarding just send a 0/non-existing backup port.
This is used to avoid numerous scalability problems when using MLAG most
notably if we have thousands of fdbs one would need to change all of them
on port carrier going down which takes too long and causes a storm of fdb
notifications (and again when the port comes back up). In a Multi-chassis
Link Aggregation setup usually hosts are connected to two different
switches which act as a single logical switch. Those switches usually have
a control and backup link between them called peerlink which might be used
for communication in case a host loses connectivity to one of them.
We need a fast way to failover in case a host port goes down and currently
none of the solutions (like bond) cannot fulfill the requirements because
the participating ports are actually the "master" devices and must have the
same peerlink as their backup interface and at the same time all of them
must participate in the bridge device. As Roopa noted it's normal practice
in routing called fast re-route where a precalculated backup path is used
when the main one is down.
Another use case of this is with EVPN, having a single vxlan device which
is backup of every port. Due to the nature of master devices it's not
currently possible to use one device as a backup for many and still have
all of them participate in the bridge (which is master itself).

This patch adds a new alternative store callback for port sysfs options
which takes a raw value (buf) and can use it directly. It is needed for the
backup port sysfs support since we have to pass the device by its name.
