Drivers might have error messages to propagate to user space, most
common being that they support a single mirror port.

Propagate the netlink extack so that they can inform user space in a
verbal way of their limitations.

As FDB isolation cannot be enforced between VLAN-aware bridges in lack
of hardware assistance like extra FID bits, it seems plausible that many
DSA switches cannot do it. Therefore, they need to reject configurations
with multiple VLAN-aware bridges from the two code paths that can
transition towards that state:

- joining a VLAN-aware bridge
- toggling VLAN awareness on an existing bridge

The .port_vlan_filtering method already propagates the netlink extack to
the driver, let's propagate it from .port_bridge_join too, to make sure
that the driver can use the same function for both.

<id>urn:sha1:c26933639b5402c174c65c01d33f145622784012</id>
<content type='text'>
For DSA, to encourage drivers to perform FDB isolation simply means to
track which bridge does each FDB and MDB entry belong to. It then
becomes the driver responsibility to use something that makes the FDB
entry from one bridge not match the FDB lookup of ports from other
bridges.

The top-level functions where the bridge is determined are:
- dsa_port_fdb_{add,del}
- dsa_port_host_fdb_{add,del}
- dsa_port_mdb_{add,del}
- dsa_port_host_mdb_{add,del}

aka the pre-crosschip-notifier functions.

Changing the API to pass a reference to a bridge is not superfluous, and
looking at the passed bridge argument is not the same as having the
driver look at dsa_to_port(ds, port)-&gt;bridge from the -&gt;port_fdb_add()
method.

DSA installs FDB and MDB entries on shared (CPU and DSA) ports as well,
and those do not have any dp-&gt;bridge information to retrieve, because
they are not in any bridge - they are merely the pipes that serve the
user ports that are in one or multiple bridges.

The struct dsa_bridge associated with each FDB/MDB entry is encapsulated
in a larger "struct dsa_db" database. Although only databases associated
to bridges are notified for now, this API will be the starting point for
implementing IFF_UNICAST_FLT in DSA. There, the idea is to install FDB
entries on the CPU port which belong to the corresponding user port's
port database. These are supposed to match only when the port is
standalone.

It is better to introduce the API in its expected final form than to
introduce it for bridges first, then to have to change drivers which may
have made one or more assumptions.

Drivers can use the provided bridge.num, but they can also use a
different numbering scheme that is more convenient.

DSA must perform refcounting on the CPU and DSA ports by also taking
into account the bridge number. So if two bridges request the same local
address, DSA must notify the driver twice, once for each bridge.

In fact, if the driver supports FDB isolation, DSA must perform
refcounting per bridge, but if the driver doesn't, DSA must refcount
host addresses across all bridges, otherwise it would be telling the
driver to delete an FDB entry for a bridge and the driver would delete
it for all bridges. So introduce a bool fdb_isolation in drivers which
would make all bridge databases passed to the cross-chip notifier have
the same number (0). This makes dsa_mac_addr_find() -&gt; dsa_db_equal()
say that all bridge databases are the same database - which is
essentially the legacy behavior.

<title>net: dsa: add a "tx_fwd_offload" argument to -&gt;port_bridge_join</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b079922ba2acf072b23d82fa246a0d8de198f0a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a preparation patch for the removal of the DSA switch methods
-&gt;port_bridge_tx_fwd_offload() and -&gt;port_bridge_tx_fwd_unoffload().
The plan is for the switch to report whether it offloads TX forwarding
directly as a response to the -&gt;port_bridge_join() method.

This change deals with the noisy portion of converting all existing
function prototypes to take this new boolean pointer argument.
The bool is placed in the cross-chip notifier structure for bridge join,
and a reference to it is provided to drivers. In the next change, DSA
will then actually look at this value instead of calling
-&gt;port_bridge_tx_fwd_offload().

<title>net: dsa: keep the bridge_dev and bridge_num as part of the same structure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d3eed0e57d5d1bcbf1bd60f83a4adfe7d7b8dd9c</id>
<content type='text'>
The main desire behind this is to provide coherent bridge information to
the fast path without locking.

For example, right now we set dp-&gt;bridge_dev and dp-&gt;bridge_num from
separate code paths, it is theoretically possible for a packet
transmission to read these two port properties consecutively and find a
bridge number which does not correspond with the bridge device.

Another desire is to start passing more complex bridge information to
dsa_switch_ops functions. For example, with FDB isolation, it is
expected that drivers will need to be passed the bridge which requested
an FDB/MDB entry to be offloaded, and along with that bridge_dev, the
associated bridge_num should be passed too, in case the driver might
want to implement an isolation scheme based on that number.

We already pass the {bridge_dev, bridge_num} pair to the TX forwarding
offload switch API, however we'd like to remove that and squash it into
the basic bridge join/leave API. So that means we need to pass this
pair to the bridge join/leave API.

During dsa_port_bridge_leave, first we unset dp-&gt;bridge_dev, then we
call the driver's .port_bridge_leave with what used to be our
dp-&gt;bridge_dev, but provided as an argument.

When bridge_dev and bridge_num get folded into a single structure, we
need to preserve this behavior in dsa_port_bridge_leave: we need a copy
of what used to be in dp-&gt;bridge.

Switch drivers check bridge membership by comparing dp-&gt;bridge_dev with
the provided bridge_dev, but now, if we provide the struct dsa_bridge as
a pointer, they cannot keep comparing dp-&gt;bridge to the provided
pointer, since this only points to an on-stack copy. To make this
obvious and prevent driver writers from forgetting and doing stupid
things, in this new API, the struct dsa_bridge is provided as a full
structure (not very large, contains an int and a pointer) instead of a
pointer. An explicit comparison function needs to be used to determine
bridge membership: dsa_port_offloads_bridge().

<title>net: dsa: b53: serialize access to the ARL table</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f7eb4a1c0864821fe99edf12aca09739f9cbd7a4</id>
<content type='text'>
The b53 driver performs non-atomic transactions to the ARL table when
adding, deleting and reading FDB and MDB entries.

Traditionally these were all serialized by the rtnl_lock(), but now it
is possible that DSA calls -&gt;port_fdb_add and -&gt;port_fdb_del without
holding that lock.

So the driver must have its own serialization logic. Add a mutex and
hold it from all entry points (-&gt;port_fdb_{add,del,dump},
-&gt;port_mdb_{add,del}).
