This change introduces support for installing static FDB entries towards a bridge port that is a LAG of multiple DSA switch ports, as well as support for filtering towards the CPU local FDB entries emitted for LAG interfaces that are bridge ports. Conceptually, host addresses on LAG ports are identical to what we do for plain bridge ports. Whereas FDB entries _towards_ a LAG can't simply be replicated towards all member ports like we do for multicast, or VLAN. Instead we need new driver API. Hardware usually considers a LAG to be a "logical port", and sets the entire LAG as the forwarding destination. The physical egress port selection within the LAG is made by hashing policy, as usual. To represent the logical port corresponding to the LAG, we pass by value a copy of the dsa_lag structure to all switches in the tree that have at least one port in that LAG. To illustrate why a refcounted list of FDB entries is needed in struct dsa_lag, it is enough to say that: - a LAG may be a bridge port and may therefore receive FDB events even while it isn't yet offloaded by any DSA interface - DSA interfaces may be removed from a LAG while that is a bridge port; we don't want FDB entries lingering around, but we don't want to remove entries that are still in use, either For all the cases below to work, the idea is to always keep an FDB entry on a LAG with a reference count equal to the DSA member ports. So: - if a port joins a LAG, it requests the bridge to replay the FDB, and the FDB entries get created, or their refcount gets bumped by one - if a port leaves a LAG, the FDB replay deletes or decrements refcount by one - if an FDB is installed towards a LAG with ports already present, that entry is created (if it doesn't exist) and its refcount is bumped by the amount of ports already present in the LAG echo "Adding FDB entry to bond with existing ports" ip link del bond0 ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad ip link set swp1 down && ip link set swp1 master bond0 && ip link set swp1 up ip link set swp2 down && ip link set swp2 master bond0 && ip link set swp2 up ip link del br0 ip link add br0 type bridge ip link set bond0 master br0 bridge fdb add dev bond0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master static ip link del br0 ip link del bond0 echo "Adding FDB entry to empty bond" ip link del bond0 ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad ip link del br0 ip link add br0 type bridge ip link set bond0 master br0 bridge fdb add dev bond0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master static ip link set swp1 down && ip link set swp1 master bond0 && ip link set swp1 up ip link set swp2 down && ip link set swp2 master bond0 && ip link set swp2 up ip link del br0 ip link del bond0 echo "Adding FDB entry to empty bond, then removing ports one by one" ip link del bond0 ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad ip link del br0 ip link add br0 type bridge ip link set bond0 master br0 bridge fdb add dev bond0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master static ip link set swp1 down && ip link set swp1 master bond0 && ip link set swp1 up ip link set swp2 down && ip link set swp2 master bond0 && ip link set swp2 up ip link set swp1 nomaster ip link set swp2 nomaster ip link del br0 ip link del bond0 Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
