net: dsa: felix: Allow unknown unicast traffic towards the CPU port module
Compared to other DSA switches, in the Ocelot cores, the RX filtering is a much more important concern. Firstly, the primary use case for Ocelot is non-DSA, so there isn't any secondary Ethernet MAC [the DSA master's one] to implicitly drop frames having a DMAC we are not interested in. So the switch driver itself needs to install FDB entries towards the CPU port module (PGID_CPU) for the MAC address of each switch port, in each VLAN installed on the port. Every address that is not whitelisted is implicitly dropped. This is in order to achieve a behavior similar to N standalone net devices. Secondly, even in the secondary use case of DSA, such as illustrated by Felix with the NPI port mode, that secondary Ethernet MAC is present, but its RX filter is bypassed. This is because the DSA tags themselves are placed before Ethernet, so the DMAC that the switch ports see is not seen by the DSA master too (since it's shifter to the right). So RX filtering is pretty important. A good RX filter won't bother the CPU in case the switch port receives a frame that it's not interested in, and there exists no other line of defense. Ocelot is pretty strict when it comes to RX filtering: non-IP multicast and broadcast traffic is allowed to go to the CPU port module, but unknown unicast isn't. This means that traffic reception for any other MAC addresses than the ones configured on each switch port net device won't work. This includes use cases such as macvlan or bridging with a non-Ocelot (so-called "foreign") interface. But this seems to be fine for the scenarios that the Linux system embedded inside an Ocelot switch is intended for - it is simply not interested in unknown unicast traffic, as explained in Allan Nielsen's presentation [0]. On the other hand, the Felix DSA switch is integrated in more general-purpose Linux systems, so it can't afford to drop that sort of traffic in hardware, even if it will end up doing so later, in software. Actually, unknown unicast means more for Felix than it does for Ocelot. Felix doesn't attempt to perform the whitelisting of switch port MAC addresses towards PGID_CPU at all, mainly because it is too complicated to be feasible: while the MAC addresses are unique in Ocelot, by default in DSA all ports are equal and inherited from the DSA master. This adds into account the question of reference counting MAC addresses (delayed ocelot_mact_forget), not to mention reference counting for the VLAN IDs that those MAC addresses are installed in. This reference counting should be done in the DSA core, and the fact that it wasn't needed so far is due to the fact that the other DSA switches don't have the DSA tag placed before Ethernet, so the DSA master is able to whitelist the MAC addresses in hardware. So this means that even regular traffic termination on a Felix switch port happens through flooding (because neither Felix nor Ocelot learn source MAC addresses from CPU-injected frames). So far we've explained that whitelisting towards PGID_CPU: - helps to reduce the likelihood of spamming the CPU with frames it won't process very far anyway - is implemented in the ocelot driver - is sufficient for the ocelot use cases - is not feasible in DSA - breaks use cases in DSA, in the current status (whitelisting enabled but no MAC address whitelisted) So the proposed patch allows unknown unicast frames to be sent to the CPU port module. This is done for the Felix DSA driver only, as Ocelot seems to be happy without it. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1HhxEcU7Jg Suggested-by: Allan W.

/* Port Group IDs (PGID) are masks of destination ports.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* For L2 forwarding, the switch performs 3 lookups in the PGID table for each
|
||||
* frame, and forwards the frame to the ports that are present in the logical
|
||||
* AND of all 3 PGIDs.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* These PGID lookups are:
|
||||
* - In one of PGID[0-63]: for the destination masks. There are 2 paths by
|
||||
* which the switch selects a destination PGID:
|
||||
* - The {DMAC, VID} is present in the MAC table. In that case, the
|
||||
* destination PGID is given by the DEST_IDX field of the MAC table entry
|
||||
* that matched.
|
||||
* - The {DMAC, VID} is not present in the MAC table (it is unknown). The
|
||||
* frame is disseminated as being either unicast, multicast or broadcast,
|
||||
* and according to that, the destination PGID is chosen as being the
|
||||
* value contained by ANA_FLOODING_FLD_UNICAST,
|
||||
* ANA_FLOODING_FLD_MULTICAST or ANA_FLOODING_FLD_BROADCAST.
|
||||
* The destination PGID can be an unicast set: the first PGIDs, 0 to
|
||||
* ocelot->num_phys_ports - 1, or a multicast set: the PGIDs from
|
||||
* ocelot->num_phys_ports to 63. By convention, a unicast PGID corresponds to
|
||||
* a physical port and has a single bit set in the destination ports mask:
|
||||
* that corresponding to the port number itself. In contrast, a multicast
|
||||
* PGID will have potentially more than one single bit set in the destination
|
||||
* ports mask.
|
||||
* - In one of PGID[64-79]: for the aggregation mask. The switch classifier
|
||||
* dissects each frame and generates a 4-bit Link Aggregation Code which is
|
||||
* used for this second PGID table lookup. The goal of link aggregation is to
|
||||
* hash multiple flows within the same LAG on to different destination ports.
|
||||
* The first lookup will result in a PGID with all the LAG members present in
|
||||
* the destination ports mask, and the second lookup, by Link Aggregation
|
||||
* Code, will ensure that each flow gets forwarded only to a single port out
|
||||
* of that mask (there are no duplicates).
|
||||
* - In one of PGID[80-90]: for the source mask. The third time, the PGID table
|
||||
* is indexed with the ingress port (plus 80). These PGIDs answer the
|
||||
* question "is port i allowed to forward traffic to port j?" If yes, then
|
||||
* BIT(j) of PGID 80+i will be found set. The third PGID lookup can be used
|
||||
* to enforce the L2 forwarding matrix imposed by e.g. a Linux bridge.
