mv88e6xxx is special among DSA drivers in that it requires the VTU to
contain the VID of the FDB entry it modifies in
mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge(), otherwise it will return -EOPNOTSUPP.

Sometimes due to races this is not always satisfied even if external
code does everything right (first deletes the FDB entries, then the
VLAN), because DSA commits to hardware FDB entries asynchronously since
commit c9eb3e0f8701 ("net: dsa: Add support for learning FDB through
notification").

Therefore, the mv88e6xxx driver must close this race condition by
itself, by asking DSA to flush the switchdev workqueue of any FDB
deletions in progress, prior to exiting a VLAN.

As discussed during review here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220105132141.2648876-3-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

we should inform developers about pitfalls of concurrent access to the
boolean properties of dsa_switch and dsa_port, now that they've been
converted to bit fields. No other measure than a comment needs to be
taken, since the code paths that update these bit fields are not
concurrent with each other.

This is a cosmetic incremental fixup to commits
7787ff776398 ("net: dsa: merge all bools of struct dsa_switch into a single u32")
bde82f389af1 ("net: dsa: merge all bools of struct dsa_port into a single u8")

The desire to make this change was enunciated after posting these
patches here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220105132141.2648876-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

but due to a slight timing overlap (message posted at 2:28 p.m. UTC,
merge commit is at 2:46 p.m. UTC), that comment was missed and the
changes were applied as-is.

There is a 7 byte hole after dst-&gt;setup and a 4 byte hole after
dst-&gt;default_proto. Combining them, we have a single hole of just 3
bytes on 64 bit machines.

dst-&gt;ports is accessed most notably by dsa_master_find_slave(), which is
invoked in the RX path.

dst-&gt;lags is accessed by dsa_lag_dev(), which is invoked in the RX path
of tag_dsa.c.

dst-&gt;tag_ops, dst-&gt;default_proto and dst-&gt;pd don't need to be in the
first cache line, so they are moved out by this change.

Currently, num_ports is declared as size_t, which is defined as
__kernel_ulong_t, therefore it occupies 8 bytes of memory.

Even switches with port numbers in the range of tens are exotic, so
there is no need for this amount of storage.

Additionally, because the max_num_bridges member right above it is also
4 bytes, it means the compiler needs to add padding between the last 2
fields. By reducing the size, we don't need that padding and can reduce
the struct size.

<title>net: dsa: merge all bools of struct dsa_switch into a single u32</title>

struct dsa_switch has 9 boolean properties, many of which are in fact
set by drivers for custom behavior (vlan_filtering_is_global,
needs_standalone_vlan_filtering, etc etc). The binary layout of the
structure could be improved. For example, the "bool setup" at the
beginning introduces a gratuitous 7 byte hole in the first cache line.

The change merges all boolean properties into bitfields of an u32, and
places that u32 in the first cache line of the structure, since many
bools are accessed from the data path (untag_bridge_pvid, vlan_filtering,
vlan_filtering_is_global).

We place this u32 after the existing ds-&gt;index, which is also 4 bytes in
size. As a positive side effect, ds-&gt;tagger_data now fits into the first
cache line too, because 4 bytes are saved.

Both dsa_port :: type and dsa_port :: index introduce a 4 octet hole
after them, so we can group them together and the holes would be
eliminated, turning 16 octets of storage into just 8. This makes the
cpu_dp pointer fit in the first cache line, which is good, because
dsa_slave_to_master(), called by dsa_enqueue_skb(), uses it.

<title>net: dsa: merge all bools of struct dsa_port into a single u8</title>

struct dsa_port has 5 bool members which create quite a number of 7 byte
holes in the structure layout. By merging them all into bitfields of an
u8, and placing that u8 in the 1-byte hole after dp-&gt;mac and dp-&gt;stp_state,
we can reduce the structure size from 576 bytes to 552 bytes on arm64.

The MAC address of a port is 6 octets in size, and this creates a 2
octet hole after it. There are some other u8 members of struct dsa_port
that we can put in that hole. One such member is the stp_state.
