As explained in commit e358bef7c392 ("net: dsa: Give drivers the chance
to veto certain upper devices"), the hellcreek driver uses some tricks
to comply with the network stack expectations: it enforces port
separation in standalone mode using VLANs. For untagged traffic,
bridging between ports is prevented by using different PVIDs, and for
VLAN-tagged traffic, it never accepts 8021q uppers with the same VID on
two ports, so packets with one VLAN cannot leak from one port to another.
That is almost fine*, and has worked because hellcreek relied on an
implicit behavior of the DSA core that was changed by the previous
patch: the standalone ports declare the 'rx-vlan-filter' feature as 'on
[fixed]'. Since most of the DSA drivers are actually VLAN-unaware in
standalone mode, that feature was actually incorrectly reflecting the
hardware/driver state, so there was a desire to fix it. This leaves the
hellcreek driver in a situation where it has to explicitly request this
behavior from the DSA framework.
We configure the ports as follows:
- Standalone: 'rx-vlan-filter' is on. An 8021q upper on top of a
standalone hellcreek port will go through dsa_slave_vlan_rx_add_vid
and will add a VLAN to the hardware tables, giving the driver the
opportunity to refuse it through .port_prechangeupper.
- Bridged with vlan_filtering=0: 'rx-vlan-filter' is off. An 8021q upper
on top of a bridged hellcreek port will not go through
dsa_slave_vlan_rx_add_vid, because there will not be any attempt to
offload this VLAN. The driver already disables VLAN awareness, so that
upper should receive the traffic it needs.
- Bridged with vlan_filtering=1: 'rx-vlan-filter' is on. An 8021q upper
on top of a bridged hellcreek port will call dsa_slave_vlan_rx_add_vid,
and can again be vetoed through .port_prechangeupper.
*It is not actually completely fine, because if I follow through
correctly, we can have the following situation:
ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0
ip link set lan0 master br0 # lan0 now becomes VLAN-unaware
ip link set lan0 nomaster # lan0 fails to become VLAN-aware again, therefore breaking isolation
This patch fixes that corner case by extending the DSA core logic, based
on this requested attribute, to change the VLAN awareness state of the
switch (port) when it leaves the bridge.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
