Marvell mv88e6xxx switch series cannot perform MAC learning from
CPU-injected (FROM_CPU) DSA frames, which results in 2 issues.
- excessive flooding, due to the fact that DSA treats those addresses
as unknown
- the risk of stale routes, which can lead to temporary packet loss
Backport those patch series from netdev mailing list, which solve these
issues by adding and clearing static entries to the switch's FDB.
Add a hack patch to set default VID to 1 in port_fdb_{add,del}. Otherwise
the static entries will be added to the switch's private FDB if VLAN
filtering disabled, which will not work.
The switch may generate an "ATU violation" warning when a client moves
from the CPU port to a switch port because the static ATU entry added by
DSA core still points to the CPU port. DSA core will then clear the static
entry so it is not fatal. Disable the warning so it will not confuse users.

Subject: [PATCH] net: bridge: notify switchdev of disappearance of old FDB
|
|
entry upon migration
|
|
|
|
Currently the bridge emits atomic switchdev notifications for
|
|
dynamically learnt FDB entries. Monitoring these notifications works
|
|
wonders for switchdev drivers that want to keep their hardware FDB in
|
|
sync with the bridge's FDB.
|
|
|
|
For example station A wants to talk to station B in the diagram below,
|
|
and we are concerned with the behavior of the bridge on the DUT device:

|
|
+--+------+--+ +--+------+--+
|
|
|
|
|
Station B
|
|
|
|
Interfaces swp0, swp1, swp2 are handled by a switchdev driver that has
|
|
the following property: frames injected from its control interface bypass
|
|
the internal address analyzer logic, and therefore, this hardware does
|
|
not learn from the source address of packets transmitted by the network
|
|
stack through it. So, since bridging between eth0 (where Station B is
|
|
attached) and swp0 (where Station A is attached) is done in software,
|
|
the switchdev hardware will never learn the source address of Station B.
|
|
So the traffic towards that destination will be treated as unknown, i.e.
|
|
flooded.
|
|
|
|
This is where the bridge notifications come in handy. When br0 on the
|
|
DUT sees frames with Station B's MAC address on eth0, the switchdev
|
|
driver gets these notifications and can install a rule to send frames
|
|
towards Station B's address that are incoming from swp0, swp1, swp2,
|
|
only towards the control interface. This is all switchdev driver private
|
|
business, which the notification makes possible.
|
|
|
|
All is fine until someone unplugs Station B's cable and moves it to the
|
|
other switch:

Station B
|
|
|
|
Luckily for the use cases we care about, Station B is noisy enough that
|
|
the DUT hears it (on swp1 this time). swp1 receives the frames and
|
|
delivers them to the bridge, who enters the unlikely path in br_fdb_update
|
|
of updating an existing entry. It moves the entry in the software bridge
|
|
to swp1 and emits an addition notification towards that.
|
|
|
|
As far as the switchdev driver is concerned, all that it needs to ensure
|
|
is that traffic between Station A and Station B is not forever broken.
|
|
If it does nothing, then the stale rule to send frames for Station B
|
|
towards the control interface remains in place. But Station B is no
|
|
longer reachable via the control interface, but via a port that can
|
|
offload the bridge port learning attribute. It's just that the port is
|
|
prevented from learning this address, since the rule overrides FDB
|
|
updates. So the rule needs to go. The question is via what mechanism.
|
|
|
|
It sure would be possible for this switchdev driver to keep track of all
|
|
addresses which are sent to the control interface, and then also listen
|
|
for bridge notifier events on its own ports, searching for the ones that
|
|
have a MAC address which was previously sent to the control interface.
|
|
But this is cumbersome and inefficient. Instead, with one small change,
|
|
the bridge could notify of the address deletion from the old port, in a
|
|
symmetrical manner with how it did for the insertion. Then the switchdev
|
|
driver would not be required to monitor learn/forget events for its own
|
|
ports. It could just delete the rule towards the control interface upon
|
|
bridge entry migration. This would make hardware address learning be
|
|
possible again. Then it would take a few more packets until the hardware
|
|
and software FDB would be in sync again.
