* Texas Instruments CPSW switchdev based ethernet driver 2.0 - Port renaming On older udev versions renaming of ethX to swXpY will not be automatically supported In order to rename via udev: ip -d link show dev sw0p1 | grep switchid SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{phys_switch_id}==, \ ATTR{phys_port_name}!="", NAME="sw0$attr{phys_port_name}" ==================== # Dual mac mode ==================== - The new (cpsw_new.c) driver is operating in dual-emac mode by default, thus working as 2 individual network interfaces. Main differences from legacy CPSW driver are: - optimized promiscuous mode: The P0_UNI_FLOOD (both ports) is enabled in addition to ALLMULTI (current port) instead of ALE_BYPASS. So, Ports in promiscuous mode will keep possibility of mcast and vlan filtering, which is provides significant benefits when ports are joined to the same bridge, but without enabling "switch" mode, or to different bridges. - learning disabled on ports as it make not too much sense for segregated ports - no forwarding in HW. - enabled basic support for devlink. devlink dev show platform/48484000.switch devlink dev param show platform/48484000.switch: name switch_mode type driver-specific values: cmode runtime value false name ale_bypass type driver-specific values: cmode runtime value false Devlink configuration parameters ==================== See Documentation/networking/devlink/ti-cpsw-switch.rst ==================== # Bridging in dual mac mode ==================== The dual_mac mode requires two vids to be reserved for internal purposes, which, by default, equal CPSW Port numbers. As result, bridge has to be configured in vlan unaware mode or default_pvid has to be adjusted. ip link add name br0 type bridge ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0 echo 0 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0 ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0 - or - ip link add name br0 type bridge ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0 echo 100 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0 ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0 ==================== # Enabling "switch" ==================== The Switch mode can be enabled by configuring devlink driver parameter "switch_mode" to 1/true: devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \ name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime This can be done regardless of the state of Port's netdev devices - UP/DOWN, but Port's netdev devices have to be in UP before joining to the bridge to avoid overwriting of bridge configuration as CPSW switch driver copletly reloads its configuration when first Port changes its state to UP. When the both interfaces joined the bridge - CPSW switch driver will enable marking packets with offload_fwd_mark flag unless "ale_bypass=0" All configuration is implemented via switchdev API. ==================== # Bridge setup ==================== devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \ name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime ip link add name br0 type bridge ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 1000 ip link set dev sw0p1 up ip link set dev sw0p2 up ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0 ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0 [*] bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 1 pvid untagged self [*] if vlan_filtering=1. where default_pvid=1 ================= # On/off STP ================= ip link set dev BRDEV type bridge stp_state 1/0 Note.

Setting PVID on Bridge device itself working only for default VLAN (default_pvid). ===================== NFS ===================== The only way for NFS to work is by chrooting to a minimal environment when switch configuration that will affect connectivity is needed. Assuming you are booting NFS with eth1 interface(the script is hacky and it's just there to prove NFS is doable). setup.sh: #!/bin/sh mkdir proc mount -t proc none /proc ifconfig br0 > /dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Setting up bridge" ip link add name br0 type bridge ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 1000 ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 ip link set eth1 down ip link set eth1 name sw0p1 ip link set dev sw0p1 up ip link set dev sw0p2 up ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0 ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0 bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 1 pvid untagged self ifconfig sw0p1 0.0.0.0 udhchc -i br0 fi umount /proc run_nfs.sh: #!/bin/sh mkdir /tmp/root/bin -p mkdir /tmp/root/lib -p cp -r /lib/ /tmp/root/ cp -r /bin/ /tmp/root/ cp /sbin/ip /tmp/root/bin cp /sbin/bridge /tmp/root/bin cp /sbin/ifconfig /tmp/root/bin cp /sbin/udhcpc /tmp/root/bin cp /path/to/setup.sh /tmp/root/bin chroot /tmp/root/ busybox sh /bin/setup.sh run ./run_nfs.sh
