net: dsa: tag_rtl4_a: Implement Realtek 4 byte A tag

2020-07-08T22:36:19+00:00

This implements the known parts of the Realtek 4 byte tag protocol version 0xA, as found in the RTL8366RB DSA switch. It is designated as protocol version 0xA as a different Realtek 4 byte tag format with protocol version 0x9 is known to exist in the Realtek RTL8306 chips. The tag and switch chip lacks public documentation, so the tag format has been reverse-engineered from packet dumps. As only ingress traffic has been available for analysis an egress tag has not been possible to develop (even using educated guesses about bit fields) so this is as far as it gets. It is not known if the switch even supports egress tagging. Excessive attempts to figure out the egress tag format was made. When nothing else worked, I just tried all bit combinations with 0xannp where a is protocol and p is port. I looped through all values several times trying to get a response from ping, without any positive result. Using just these ingress tags however, the switch functionality is vastly improved and the packets find their way into the destination port without any tricky VLAN configuration. On the D-Link DIR-685 the LAN ports now come up and respond to ping without any command line configuration so this is a real improvement for users. Egress packets need to be restricted to the proper target ports using VLAN, which the RTL8366RB DSA switch driver already sets up.

net: dsa: ocelot: add tagger for Ocelot/Felix switches

2019-11-15T20:32:16+00:00

While it is entirely possible that this tagger format is in fact more generic than just these 2 switch families, I don't have that knowledge. The Seville switch in NXP T1040 has a similar frame format, but there are enough differences (e.g. DEST field starts at bit 57 instead of 56) that calling this file tag_vitesse.c is a bit of a stretch at the moment. The frame format has been listed in a comment so that people who add support for further Vitesse switches can rework this tagger while keeping compatibility with Felix. The "ocelot" name was chosen instead of "felix" because even the Ocelot switch can act as a DSA device when it is used in NPI mode, and the Felix tagger format is almost identical. Currently it is only used for the Felix switch embedded in the NXP LS1028A chip. The ABI for this tagger should be considered "not stable" at the moment. The DSA tag is always placed before the Ethernet header and therefore, we are using the long prefix for RX tags to avoid putting the DSA master port in promiscuous mode. Once there will be an API in DSA for drivers to request DSA masters to be in promiscuous mode unconditionally, we will switch to the "no prefix" extraction frame header, which will save 16 padding bytes for each RX frame.

net: dsa: sja1105: Add support for traffic through standalone ports

2019-05-06T04:52:42+00:00

In order to support this, we are creating a make-shift switch tag out of a VLAN trunk configured on the CPU port. Termination of normal traffic on switch ports only works when not under a vlan_filtering bridge. Termination of management (PTP, BPDU) traffic works under all circumstances because it uses a different tagging mechanism (incl_srcpt). We are making use of the generic CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q code and leveraging it from our own CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_SJA1105. There are two types of traffic: regular and link-local. The link-local traffic received on the CPU port is trapped from the switch's regular forwarding decisions because it matched one of the two DMAC filters for management traffic. On transmission, the switch requires special massaging for these link-local frames. Due to a weird implementation of the switching IP, by default it drops link-local frames that originate on the CPU port. It needs to be told where to forward them to, through an SPI command ("management route") that is valid for only a single frame. So when we're sending link-local traffic, we are using the dsa_defer_xmit mechanism. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: dsa: Optional VLAN-based port separation for switches without tagging

2019-05-06T04:52:42+00:00

This patch provides generic DSA code for using VLAN (802.1Q) tags for the same purpose as a dedicated switch tag for injection/extraction. It is based on the discussions and interest that has been so far expressed in https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg556125.html. Unlike all other DSA-supported tagging protocols, CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q does not offer a complete solution for drivers (nor can it). Instead, it provides generic code that driver can opt into calling: - dsa_8021q_xmit: Inserts a VLAN header with the specified contents. Can be called from another tagging protocol's xmit function. Currently the LAN9303 driver is inserting headers that are simply 802.1Q with custom fields, so this is an opportunity for code reuse. - dsa_8021q_rcv: Retrieves the TPID and TCI from a VLAN-tagged skb. Removing the VLAN header is left as a decision for the caller to make. - dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging: For each user port, installs an Rx VID and a Tx VID, for proper untagged traffic identification on ingress and steering on egress. Also sets up the VLAN trunk on the upstream (CPU or DSA) port. Drivers are intentionally left to call this function explicitly, depending on the context and hardware support. The expected switch behavior and VLAN semantics should not be violated under any conditions. That is, after calling dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging, the hardware should still pass all ingress traffic, be it tagged or untagged. For uniformity with the other tagging protocols, a module for the dsa_8021q_netdev_ops structure is registered, but the typical usage is to set up another tagging protocol which selects CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q, and calls the API from tag_8021q.h. Null function definitions are also provided so that a "depends on" is not forced in the Kconfig. This tagging protocol only works when switch ports are standalone, or when they are added to a VLAN-unaware bridge. It will probably remain this way for the reasons below. When added to a bridge that has vlan_filtering 1, the bridge core will install its own VLANs and reset the pvids through switchdev. For the bridge core, switchdev is a write-only pipe. All VLAN-related state is kept in the bridge core and nothing is read from DSA/switchdev or from the driver. So the bridge core will break this port separation because it will install the vlan_default_pvid into all switchdev ports. Even if we could teach the bridge driver about switchdev preference of a certain vlan_default_pvid (task difficult in itself since the current setting is per-bridge but we would need it per-port), there would still exist many other challenges. Firstly, in the DSA rcv callback, a driver would have to perform an iterative reverse lookup to find the correct switch port. That is because the port is a bridge slave, so its Rx VID (port PVID) is subject to user configuration. How would we ensure that the user doesn't reset the pvid to a different value (which would make an O(1) translation impossible), or to a non-unique value within this DSA switch tree (which would make any translation impossible)? Finally, not all switch ports are equal in DSA, and that makes it difficult for the bridge to be completely aware of this anyway. The CPU port needs to transmit tagged packets (VLAN trunk) in order for the DSA rcv code to be able to decode source information. But the bridge code has absolutely no idea which switch port is the CPU port, if nothing else then just because there is no netdevice registered by DSA for the CPU port. Also DSA does not currently allow the user to specify that they want the CPU port to do VLAN trunking anyway. VLANs are added to the CPU port using the same flags as they were added on the user port. So the VLANs installed by dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging per driver request should remain private from the bridge's and user's perspective, and should not alter the VLAN semantics observed by the user. In the current implementation a VLAN range ending at 4095 (VLAN_N_VID) is reserved for this purpose. Each port receives a unique Rx VLAN and a unique Tx VLAN. Separate VLANs are needed for Rx and Tx because they serve different purposes: on Rx the switch must process traffic as untagged and process it with a port-based VLAN, but with care not to hinder bridging. On the other hand, the Tx VLAN is where the reachability restrictions are imposed, since by tagging frames in the xmit callback we are telling the switch onto which port to steer the frame. Some general guidance on how this support might be employed for real-life hardware (some comments made by Florian Fainelli): - If the hardware supports VLAN tag stacking, it should somehow back up its private VLAN settings when the bridge tries to override them. Then the driver could re-apply them as outer tags. Dedicating an outer tag per bridge device would allow identical inner tag VID numbers to co-exist, yet preserve broadcast domain isolation. - If the switch cannot handle VLAN tag stacking, it should disable this port separation when added as slave to a vlan_filtering bridge, in that case having reduced functionality. - Drivers for old switches that don't support the entire VLAN_N_VID range will need to rework the current range selection mechanism.

This handles the tag added by the PMAC on the VRX200 SoC line. The GSWIP uses internally a GSWIP special tag which is located after the Ethernet header. The PMAC which connects the GSWIP to the CPU converts this special tag used by the GSWIP into the PMAC special tag which is added in front of the Ethernet header. This was tested with GSWIP 2.1 found in the VRX200 SoCs, other GSWIP versions use slightly different PMAC special tags.
