This patch set adds support for Rx/Tx capabilities on DPAA2 switch port
interfaces as well as fixing up some major blunders in how we take care
of the switching domains. The last patch actually moves the driver out
of staging now that the minimum requirements are met.

I am sending this directly towards the net-next tree so that I can use
the rest of the development cycle adding new features on top of the
current driver without worrying about merge conflicts between the
staging and net-next tree.

The control interface is comprised of 3 queues in total: Rx, Rx error
and Tx confirmation. In this patch set we only enable Rx and Tx conf.
All switch ports share the same queues when frames are redirected to the
CPU.  Information regarding the ingress switch port is passed through
frame metadata - the flow context field of the descriptor.

NAPI instances are also shared between switch net_devices and are
enabled when at least on one of the switch ports .dev_open() was called
and disabled when no switch port is still up.

Since the last version of this feature was submitted to the list, I
reworked how the switching and flooding domains are taken care of by the
driver, thus the switch is now able to also add the control port (the
queues that the CPU can dequeue from) into the flooding domains of a
port (broadcast, unknown unicast etc). With this, we are able to receive
and sent traffic from the switch interfaces.

Also, the capability to properly partition the DPSW object into multiple
switching domains was added so that when not under a bridge, the ports
are not actually capable to switch between them. This is possible by
adding a private FDB table per switch interface.  When multiple switch
interfaces are under the same bridge, they will all use the same FDB
table.

Another thing that is fixed in this patch set is how the driver handles
VLAN awareness. The DPAA2 switch is not capable to run as VLAN unaware
but this was not reflected in how the driver responded to requests to
change the VLAN awareness. In the last patch, this is fixed by
describing the switch interfaces as Rx VLAN filtering on [fixed] and
declining any request to join a VLAN unaware bridge.

I'll take the first 14 patches now, and then you will have a "clean"
place to ask for the movement of this out of staging.

I was about to respond but it seems that you already applied them into
the staging tree. By the way, I was expecting a bit of review from the
netdev community since these changes are mainly to get the driver in a
proper state for the move.

Ok, I am mainly interested in getting all these patches into net-next as
well so that other general switchdev changes do not generate conflicts.

I assume that the next step would be to get acks from the netdev
maintainers especially on the last patch, merge the move in the staging
tree and then get all these changes into net-next through some kind of
cross-tree merge?

They are only in my "testing" branch, I can easily drop them right now
if you want me to.

What other general switchdev changes?

Yes, either I can provide a stable tag to pull from for the netdev
maintainers, or they can just add the whole driver to the "proper" place
in the network tree and I can drop the one in staging entirely.  Or
people can wait until 5.13-rc1 when this all shows up in Linus's tree,
whatever works best for the networking maintainers, after reviewing it.

Hey Greg,

During the merge window I sent some RFC patches that change the
interaction between all switchdev drivers and the bridge:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210224114350.2791260-17-olteanv@gmail.com/

I would like to be able to submit that patch as non-RFC (to the net-next
tree, of course) during this release cycle, and it touches the dpaa2
switch.

Let's see what the network maintainers think about dealing with this
cross-tree situation.

Well, it seems that I added some checks at the last minute, forgot to
compile-test patch by patch and the checks were added too early in the
series therefore it fails to build now on patches 10 and 11.

Could you please just drop this so that that I can respin them with that
addressed as well as any other review feedback?

I've added this whole series to my tree as I think that makes things easiest
for everyone.

Sorry for bothering you again.. but it seems that Greg has also added
the first 14 patches to staging-next. I just want to make sure that the
linux-next will be happy with these patches being in 2 trees.
