Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] net: dsa: add cross-chip VLAN support

The current code in DSA does not support cross-chip VLAN. This means
that in a multi-chip environment such as this one (similar to ZII Rev B)

[CPU].................... (mdio)
(eth0) | : : :
_|_____ _______ _______
[__sw0__]--[__sw1__]--[__sw2__]
| | | | | | | | |
v v v v v v v v v
p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9

adding a VLAN to p9 won't be enough to reach the CPU, until at least one
port of sw0 and sw1 join the VLAN as well and become aware of the VID.

This patchset makes the DSA core program the VLAN on the CPU and DSA
links itself, which brings seamlessly cross-chip VLAN support to DSA.

With this series applied*, the hardware VLAN tables of a 3-switch setup
look like this after adding a VLAN to only one port of the end switch:

# cat /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid
42
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mv88e6xxx/sw{0,1,2}/vtu
# ip link set up master br0 dev lan6
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mv88e6xxx/sw{0,1,2}/vtu
VID FID SID 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
42 1 0 x x x x x = =
VID FID SID 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
42 1 0 x x x x x = =
VID FID SID 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
42 1 0 u x x x x x x x x =

('x' is excluded, 'u' is untagged, '=' is unmodified DSA and CPU ports.)

Completely removing a VLAN entry (which is currently the responsibility
of drivers anyway) is not supported yet since it requires some caching.

(*) the output is shown from this out-of-tree debugfs patch:

Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/5] net: dsa: check VLAN capability of every switch

Now that the VLAN object is propagated to every switch chip of the
switch fabric, we can easily ensure that they all support the required
VLAN operations before modifying an entry on a single switch.

To achieve that, remove the condition skipping other target switches,
and add a bitmap of VLAN members, eventually containing the target port,
if we are programming the switch target.

This will allow us to easily add other VLAN members, such as the DSA or
CPU ports (to introduce cross-chip VLAN support) or the other port
members if we want to reduce hardware accesses later.

Now that the DSA core adds the CPU and DSA ports itself to the new VLAN
entry, there is no need to include them as members of this VLAN when
initializing a new VTU entry.

As of now, initialize a new VTU entry with all ports excluded.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/5] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: do not purge a VTU entry

The mv88e6xxx driver currently tries to be smart and remove by itself a
VLAN entry from the VTU when the driven switch sees no user ports as
members of the VLAN.

This is bad in a multi-chip switch fabric, since a chip in between
others may have no bridge port members, but still needs to be aware of
the VID in order to correctly pass frames in the data path.

Remove the code purging a VTU entry when updating a port membership.

Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/5] net: dsa: add CPU and DSA ports as VLAN members

In a multi-chip switch fabric, it is currently the responsibility of the
driver to add the CPU or DSA (interconnecting chips together) ports as
members of a new VLAN entry. This makes the drivers more complicated.

We want the DSA drivers to be stupid and the DSA core being the one
responsible for caring about the abstracted switch logic and topology.

Make the DSA core program the CPU and DSA ports as part of the VLAN.

This makes all chips of the data path to be aware of VIDs spanning the
the whole fabric and thus, seamlessly add support for cross-chip VLAN.

Please use the more canonical "x++" post-increment in the for() statement.

In that case the switch sitting between two other chips and passing
traffic would still have at least two of its DSA ports be part of a VTU
entry, right?

So could not we just do ....

You could add in the commit message that with this commit, there is not
actually a functional change yet because we have one (and only one) bit
set in the members bitmap.

I can remove only the dsa_is_{cpu,dsa}_port condition above, this will
make the code ready for when the DSA core will remove VLAN on DSA ports.

Hum there is a small functional change though: if one interconnected
switch of the fabric does not support the VLAN operations, -EOPNOTSUPP
is returned (even though the target switch is VLAN capable.)
