net: bridge: fix flags interpretation for extern learn fdb entries

Ignore fdb flags when adding port extern learn entries and always set
BR_FDB_LOCAL flag when adding bridge extern learn entries. This is
closest to the behaviour we had before and avoids breaking any use cases
which were allowed.

This patch fixes iproute2 calls which assume NUD_PERMANENT and were
allowed before, example:
$ bridge fdb add 00:11:22:33:44:55 dev swp1 extern_learn

Extern learn entries are allowed to roam, but do not expire, so static
or dynamic flags make no sense for them.

Also add a comment for future reference.

net: make switchdev_bridge_port_{,unoffload} loosely coupled with the bridge

With the introduction of explicit offloading API in switchdev in commit
2f5dc00f7a3e ("net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform which bridge
ports are offloaded"), we started having Ethernet switch drivers calling
directly into a function exported by net/bridge/br_switchdev.c, which is
a function exported by the bridge driver.

This means that drivers that did not have an explicit dependency on the
bridge before, like cpsw and am65-cpsw, now do - otherwise it is not
possible to call a symbol exported by a driver that can be built as
module unless you are a module too.

There was an attempt to solve the dependency issue in the form of commit
b0e81817629a ("net: build all switchdev drivers as modules when the
bridge is a module"). Grygorii Strashko, however, says about it:

| In my opinion, the problem is a bit bigger here than just fixing the
| build :(
|
| In case, of ^cpsw the switchdev mode is kinda optional and in many
| cases (especially for testing purposes, NFS) the multi-mac mode is
| still preferable mode.
|
| There were no such tight dependency between switchdev drivers and
| bridge core before and switchdev serviced as independent, notification
| based layer between them, so ^cpsw still can be "Y" and bridge can be
| "M". Now for mostly every kernel build configuration the CONFIG_BRIDGE
| will need to be set as "Y", or we will have to update drivers to
| support build with BRIDGE=n and maintain separate builds for
| networking vs non-networking testing. But is this enough? Wouldn't
| it cause 'chain reaction' required to add more and more "Y" options
| (like CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q)?
|
| PS. Just to be sure we on the same page - ARM builds will be forced
| (with this patch) to have CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV=m and so all our
| automation testing will just fail with omap2plus_defconfig.

In the light of this, it would be desirable for some configurations to
avoid dependencies between switchdev drivers and the bridge, and have
the switchdev mode as completely optional within the driver.

Arnd Bergmann also tried to write a patch which better expressed the
build time dependency for Ethernet switch drivers where the switchdev
support is optional, like cpsw/am65-cpsw, and this made the drivers
follow the bridge (compile as module if the bridge is a module) only if
the optional switchdev support in the driver was enabled in the first
place:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210802144813.1152762-1-arnd@kernel.org/

but this still did not solve the fact that cpsw and am65-cpsw now must
be built as modules when the bridge is a module - it just expressed
correctly that optional dependency. But the new behavior is an apparent
regression from Grygorii's perspective.

So to support the use case where the Ethernet driver is built-in,
NET_SWITCHDEV (a bool option) is enabled, and the bridge is a module, we
need a framework that can handle the possible absence of the bridge from
the running system, i.e. runtime bloatware as opposed to build-time
bloatware.

Luckily we already have this framework, since switchdev has been using
it extensively. Events from the bridge side are transmitted to the
driver side using notifier chains - this was originally done so that
unrelated drivers could snoop for events emitted by the bridge towards
ports that are implemented by other drivers (think of a switch driver
with LAG offload that listens for switchdev events on a bonding/team
interface that it offloads).

There are also events which are transmitted from the driver side to the
bridge side, which again are modeled using notifiers.
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is an example of this, and deals with
notifying the bridge that a MAC address has been dynamically learned.
So there is a precedent we can use for modeling the new framework.

The difference compared to SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is that the work
that the bridge needs to do when a port becomes offloaded is blocking in
its nature: replay VLANs, MDBs etc. The calling context is indeed
blocking (we are under rtnl_mutex), but the existing switchdev
notification chain that the bridge is subscribed to is only the atomic
one. So we need to subscribe the bridge to the blocking switchdev
notification chain too.

This patch:
- keeps the driver-side perception of the switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload
unchanged
- moves the implementation of switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload from
the bridge module into the switchdev module.
- makes everybody that is subscribed to the switchdev blocking notifier
chain "hear" offload & unoffload events
- makes the bridge driver subscribe and handle those events
- moves the bridge driver's handling of those events into 2 new
functions called br_switchdev_port_{,un}offload. These functions
contain in fact the core of the logic that was previously in
switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload, just that now we go through an
extra indirection layer to reach them.

Unlike all the other switchdev notification structures, the structure
used to carry the bridge port information, struct
switchdev_notifier_brport_info, does not contain a "bool handled".
This is because in the current usage pattern, we always know that a
switchdev bridge port offloading event will be handled by the bridge,
because the switchdev_bridge_port_offload() call was initiated by a
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event in the first place, where info->upper_dev is a
bridge. So if the bridge wasn't loaded, then the CHANGEUPPER event
couldn't have happened.

net: bridge: validate the NUD_PERMANENT bit when adding an extern_learn FDB entry

Currently it is possible to add broken extern_learn FDB entries to the
bridge in two ways:

1. Entries pointing towards the bridge device that are not local/permanent:

ip link add br0 type bridge
bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn static

2. Entries pointing towards the bridge device or towards a port that
are marked as local/permanent, however the bridge does not process the
'permanent' bit in any way, therefore they are recorded as though they
aren't permanent:

ip link add br0 type bridge
bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn permanent

Since commit 52e4bec15546 ("net: bridge: switchdev: treat local FDBs the
same as entries towards the bridge"), these incorrect FDB entries can
even trigger NULL pointer dereferences inside the kernel.

This is because that commit made the assumption that all FDB entries
that are not local/permanent have a valid destination port. For context,
local / permanent FDB entries either have fdb->dst == NULL, and these
point towards the bridge device and are therefore local and not to be
used for forwarding, or have fdb->dst == a net_bridge_port structure
(but are to be treated in the same way, i.e. not for forwarding).

That assumption _is_ correct as long as things are working correctly in
the bridge driver, i.e. we cannot logically have fdb->dst == NULL under
any circumstance for FDB entries that are not local. However, the
extern_learn code path where FDB entries are managed by a user space
controller show that it is possible for the bridge kernel driver to
misinterpret the NUD flags of an entry transmitted by user space, and
end up having fdb->dst == NULL while not being a local entry. This is
invalid and should be rejected.

Before, the two commands listed above both crashed the kernel in this
check from br_switchdev_fdb_notify:

struct net_device *dev = info.is_local ? br->dev : dst->dev;

info.is_local == false, dst == NULL.

After this patch, the invalid entry added by the first command is
rejected:

ip link add br0 type bridge && bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn static; ip link del br0
Error: bridge: FDB entry towards bridge must be permanent.

and the valid entry added by the second command is properly treated as a
local address and does not crash br_switchdev_fdb_notify anymore:

ip link add br0 type bridge && bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev br0 self extern_learn permanent; ip link del br0

entries pointing towards that port or towards the bridge.

However, this

net: bridge: switchdev: replay the entire FDB for each port

Currently when a switchdev port joins a bridge, we replay all FDB
entries pointing towards that port or towards the bridge.

However, this is insufficient in certain situations:

(a) DSA, through its assisted_learning_on_cpu_port logic, snoops
dynamically learned FDB entries on foreign interfaces.
These are FDB entries that are pointing neither towards the newly
joined switchdev port, nor towards the bridge. So these addresses
would be missed when joining a bridge where a foreign interface has
already learned some addresses, and they would also linger on if the
DSA port leaves the bridge before the foreign interface forgets them.
None of this happens if we replay the entire FDB when the port joins.

(b) There is a desire to treat local FDB entries on a port (i.e. the
port's termination MAC address) identically to FDB entries pointing
towards the bridge itself. More details on the reason behind this in
the next patch. The point is that this cannot be done given the
current structure of br_fdb_replay() in this situation:
ip link set swp0 master br0 # br0 inherits its MAC address from swp0
ip link set swp1 master br0
What is desirable is that when swp1 joins the bridge, br_fdb_replay()
also notifies swp1 of br0's MAC address, but this won't in fact
happen because the MAC address of br0 does not have fdb->dst == NULL
(it doesn't point towards the bridge), but it has fdb->dst == swp0.
So our current logic makes it impossible for that address to be
replayed. But if we dump the entire FDB instead of just the entries
with fdb->dst == swp1 and fdb->dst == NULL, then the inherited MAC
address of br0 will be replayed too, which is what we need.

A natural question arises: say there is an FDB entry to be replayed,
like a MAC address dynamically learned on a foreign interface that
belongs to a bridge where no switchdev port has joined yet. If 10
switchdev ports belonging to the same driver join this bridge, one by
one, won't every port get notified 10 times of the foreign FDB entry,
amounting to a total of 100 notifications for this FDB entry in the
switchdev driver?

Well, yes, but this is where the "void *ctx" argument for br_fdb_replay
is useful: every port of the switchdev driver is notified whenever any
other port requests an FDB replay, but because the replay was initiated
by a different port, its context is different from the initiating port's
context, so it ignores those replays.

So the foreign FDB entry will be installed only 10 times, once per port.
This is done so that the following 4 code paths are always well balanced:
(a) addition of foreign FDB entry is replayed when port joins bridge
(b) deletion of foreign FDB entry is replayed when port leaves bridge
(c) addition of foreign FDB entry is notified to all ports currently in bridge
(c) deletion of foreign FDB entry is notified to all ports currently in bridge

To make the code in br_forward.c work in both cases, we do what is done
in other places and we create a helper function, with an empty shim
definition, that is implemented by the br_switchdev.o translation module.
This is always compiled if and only if CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is y or m.

net: bridge: switchdev: allow the TX data plane forwarding to be offloaded

Allow switchdevs to forward frames from the CPU in accordance with the
bridge configuration in the same way as is done between bridge
ports. This means that the bridge will only send a single skb towards
one of the ports under the switchdev's control, and expects the driver
to deliver the packet to all eligible ports in its domain.

Primarily this improves the performance of multicast flows with
multiple subscribers, as it allows the hardware to perform the frame
replication.

The basic flow between the driver and the bridge is as follows:

- When joining a bridge port, the switchdev driver calls
switchdev_bridge_port_offload() with tx_fwd_offload = true.

- The bridge sends offloadable skbs to one of the ports under the
switchdev's control using skb->offload_fwd_mark = true.

- The switchdev driver checks the skb->offload_fwd_mark field and lets
its FDB lookup select the destination port mask for this packet.

v1->v2:
- convert br_input_skb_cb::fwd_hwdoms to a plain unsigned long
- introduce a static key "br_switchdev_fwd_offload_used" to minimize the
impact of the newly introduced feature on all the setups which don't
have hardware that can make use of it
- introduce a check for nbp->flags & BR_FWD_OFFLOAD to optimize cache
line access
- reorder nbp_switchdev_frame_mark_accel() and br_handle_vlan() in
__br_forward()
- do not strip VLAN on egress if forwarding offload on VLAN-aware bridge
is being used
- propagate errors from .ndo_dfwd_add_station() if not EOPNOTSUPP

v2->v3:
- replace the solution based on .ndo_dfwd_add_station with a solution
based on switchdev_bridge_port_offload
- rename BR_FWD_OFFLOAD to BR_TX_FWD_OFFLOAD
v3->v4: rebase
v4->v5:
- make sure the static key is decremented on bridge port unoffload
- more function and variable renaming and comments for them:
br_switchdev_fwd_offload_used to br_switchdev_tx_fwd_offload
br_switchdev_accels_skb to br_switchdev_frame_uses_tx_fwd_offload
nbp_switchdev_frame_mark_tx_fwd to nbp_switchdev_frame_mark_tx_fwd_to_hwdom

net: bridge: move the switchdev object replay helpers to "push" mode

Starting with commit 4f2673b3a2b6 ("net: bridge: add helper to replay

net: bridge: move the switchdev object replay helpers to "push" mode

Starting with commit 4f2673b3a2b6 ("net: bridge: add helper to replay
port and host-joined mdb entries"), DSA has introduced some bridge
helpers that replay switchdev events (FDB/MDB/VLAN additions and
deletions) that can be lost by the switchdev drivers in a variety of
circumstances:

- an IP multicast group was host-joined on the bridge itself before any
switchdev port joined the bridge, leading to the host MDB entries
missing in the hardware database.
- during the bridge creation process, the MAC address of the bridge was
added to the FDB as an entry pointing towards the bridge device
itself, but with no switchdev ports being part of the bridge yet, this
local FDB entry would remain unknown to the switchdev hardware
database.
- a VLAN/FDB/MDB was added to a bridge port that is a LAG interface,
before any switchdev port joined that LAG, leading to the hardware
database missing those entries.
- a switchdev port left a LAG that is a bridge port, while the LAG
remained part of the bridge, and all FDB/MDB/VLAN entries remained
installed in the hardware database of the switchdev port.

Also, since commit 0d2cfbd41c4a ("net: bridge: ignore switchdev events
for LAG ports which didn't request replay"), DSA introduced a method,
based on a const void *ctx, to ensure that two switchdev ports under the
same LAG that is a bridge port do not see the same MDB/VLAN entry being
replayed twice by the bridge, once for every bridge port that joins the
LAG.

With so many ordering corner cases being possible, it seems unreasonable
to expect a switchdev driver writer to get it right from the first try.
Therefore, now that DSA has experimented with the bridge replay helpers
for a little bit, we can move the code to the bridge driver where it is
more readily available to all switchdev drivers.

To convert the switchdev object replay helpers from "pull mode" (where
the driver asks for them) to a "push mode" (where the bridge offers them
automatically), the biggest problem is that the bridge needs to be aware
when a switchdev port joins and leaves, even when the switchdev is only
indirectly a bridge port (for example when the bridge port is a LAG
upper of the switchdev).

Luckily, we already have a hook for that, in the form of the newly
introduced switchdev_bridge_port_offload() and
switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload() calls. These offer a natural place for
hooking the object addition and deletion replays.

Extend the above 2 functions with:
- pointers to the switchdev atomic notifier (for FDB replays) and the
blocking notifier (for MDB and VLAN replays).
- the "const void *ctx" argument required for drivers to be able to
disambiguate between which port is targeted, when multiple ports are
lowers of the same LAG that is a bridge port. Most of the drivers pass
NULL to this argument, except the ones that support LAG offload and have
the proper context check already in place in the switchdev blocking
notifier handler.

Also unexport the replay helpers, since nobody except the bridge calls
them directly now.

Note that:
(a) we abuse the terminology slightly, because FDB entries are not
"switchdev objects", but we count them as objects nonetheless.
With no direct way to prove it, I think they are not modeled as
switchdev objects because those can only be installed by the bridge
to the hardware (as opposed to FDB entries which can be propagated
in the other direction too). This is merely an abuse of terms, FDB
entries are replayed too, despite not being objects.
(b) the bridge does not attempt to sync port attributes to newly joined
ports, just the countable stuff (the objects). The reason for this
is simple: no universal and symmetric way to sync and unsync them is
known. For example, VLAN filtering: what to do on unsync, disable or
leave it enabled? Similarly, STP state, ageing timer, etc etc. What
a switchdev port does when it becomes standalone again is not really
up to the bridge's competence, and the driver should deal with it.
On the other hand, replaying deletions of switchdev objects can be
seen a matter of cleanup and therefore be treated by the bridge,
hence this patch.

We make the replay helpers opt-in for drivers, because they might not
bring immediate benefits for them:

- nbp_vlan_init() is called _after_ netdev_master_upper_dev_link(),
so br_vlan_replay() should not do anything for the new drivers on
which we call it. The existing drivers where there was even a slight
possibility for there to exist a VLAN on a bridge port before they
join it are already guarded against this: mlxsw and prestera deny
joining LAG interfaces that are members of a bridge.

- br_fdb_replay() should now notify of local FDB entries, but I patched
all drivers except DSA to ignore these new entries in commit
2c4eca3ef716 ("net: bridge: switchdev: include local flag in FDB
notifications"). Driver authors can lift this restriction as they
wish, and when they do, they can also opt into the FDB replay
functionality.

- br_mdb_replay() should fix a real issue which is described in commit
4f2673b3a2b6 ("net: bridge: add helper to replay port and host-joined
mdb entries"). However most drivers do not offload the
SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB to see this issue: only cpsw and am65_cpsw
offload this switchdev object, and I don't completely understand the
way in which they offload this switchdev object anyway. So I'll leave
it up to these drivers' respective maintainers to opt into
br_mdb_replay().

So most of the drivers pass NULL notifier blocks for the replay helpers,
except:
- dpaa2-switch which was already acked/regression-tested with the
helpers enabled (and there isn't much of a downside in having them)
- ocelot which already had replay logic in "pull" mode
- DSA which already had replay logic in "pull" mode

An important observation is that the drivers which don't currently
request bridge event replays don't even have the
switchdev_bridge_port_{offload,unoffload} calls placed in proper places
right now. This was done to avoid unnecessary rework for drivers which
might never even add support for this. For driver writers who wish to
add replay support, this can be used as a tentative placement guide:

hardware domain of the ingress port. Then during forwarding, it enforces
that the egress port must have a different hardware domain than the
ingress one (this is done in nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress).

Non-switchdev drivers don't report any physical switch id (neither
through devlink nor .ndo_get_port_parent_id), therefore the bridge
assigns them a hardware domain of 0, and packets coming from them will
always have skb->offload_fwd_mark = 0. So there aren't any restrictions.

Problems appear due to the fact that DSA would like to perform software
fallback for bonding and team interfaces that the physical switch cannot
offload.

swp0 swp1 swp2 swp3 swp4

There, it is desirable that the presence of swp3 and swp4 under a
non-offloaded LAG does not preclude us from doing hardware bridging
beteen swp0, swp1 and swp2. The bandwidth of the CPU is often times high
enough that software bridging between {swp0,swp1,swp2} and bond0 is not
impractical.

But this creates an impossible paradox given the current way in which
port hardware domains are assigned. When the driver receives a packet
from swp0 (say, due to flooding), it must set skb->offload_fwd_mark to
something.

- If we set it to 0, then the bridge will forward it towards swp1, swp2
and bond0. But the switch has already forwarded it towards swp1 and
swp2 (not to bond0, remember, that isn't offloaded, so as far as the
switch is concerned, ports swp3 and swp4 are not looking up the FDB,
and the entire bond0 is a destination that is strictly behind the
CPU). But we don't want duplicated traffic towards swp1 and swp2, so
it's not ok to set skb->offload_fwd_mark = 0.

- If we set it to 1, then the bridge will not forward the skb towards
the ports with the same switchdev mark, i.e. not to swp1, swp2 and
bond0. Towards swp1 and swp2 that's ok, but towards bond0? It should
have forwarded the skb there.

So the real issue is that bond0 will be assigned the same hardware
domain as {swp0,swp1,swp2}, because the function that assigns hardware
domains to bridge ports, nbp_switchdev_add(), recurses through bond0's
lower interfaces until it finds something that implements devlink (calls
dev_get_port_parent_id with bool recurse = true). This is a problem
because the fact that bond0 can be offloaded by swp3 and swp4 in our
example is merely an assumption.

A solution is to give the bridge explicit hints as to what hardware
domain it should use for each port.

Currently, the bridging offload is very 'silent': a driver registers a
netdevice notifier, which is put on the netns's notifier chain, and
which sniffs around for NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER events where the upper is a
bridge, and the lower is an interface it knows about (one registered by
this driver, normally). Then, from within that notifier, it does a bunch
of stuff behind the bridge's back, without the bridge necessarily
knowing that there's somebody offloading that port. It looks like this:

ip link set swp0 master br0
|
v
br_add_if() calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link()
|
v
call_netdevice_notifiers
|
v
dsa_slave_netdevice_event
|
v
oh, hey! it's for me!
|
v
.port_bridge_join

What we do to solve the conundrum is to be less silent, and change the
switchdev drivers to present themselves to the bridge. Something like this:

ip link set swp0 master br0
|
v
br_add_if() calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link()
|
v bridge: Aye! I'll use this
call_netdevice_notifiers ^ ppid as the
| | hardware domain for
v | this port, and zero
dsa_slave_netdevice_event | if I got nothing.
| |
v |
oh, hey! it's for me! |
| |
v |
.port_bridge_join |
| |
+------------------------+
switchdev_bridge_port_offload(swp0, swp0)

Then stacked interfaces (like bond0 on top of swp3/swp4) would be
treated differently in DSA, depending on whether we can or cannot
offload them.

The offload case:

ip link set bond0 master br0
|
v
br_add_if() calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link()
|
v bridge: Aye! I'll use this
call_netdevice_notifiers ^ ppid as the

for swp3 and swp4 |
| |
+------------------------+
switchdev_bridge_port_offload(bond0, swp3)
switchdev_bridge_port_offload(bond0, swp4)

And the non-offload case:

ip link set bond0 master br0
|
v
br_add_if() calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link()
|
v bridge waiting:
call_netdevice_notifiers ^ huh, switchdev_bridge_port_offload
| | wasn't called, okay, I'll use a
v | hwdom of zero for this one.
dsa_slave_netdevice_event : Then packets received on swp0 will
| : not be software-forwarded towards
v : swp1, but they will towards bond0.
it's not for me, but
bond0 is an upper of swp3
and swp4, but their dp->lag_dev
is NULL because they couldn't
offload it.

Basically we can draw the conclusion that the lowers of a bridge port
can come and go, so depending on the configuration of lowers for a
bridge port, it can dynamically toggle between offloaded and unoffloaded.
Therefore, we need an equivalent switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload too.

This patch changes the way any switchdev driver interacts with the
bridge. From now on, everybody needs to call switchdev_bridge_port_offload
and switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload, otherwise the bridge will treat the
port as non-offloaded and allow software flooding to other ports from
the same ASIC.

Note that these functions lay the ground for a more complex handshake
between switchdev drivers and the bridge in the future.

For drivers that will request a replay of the switchdev objects when
they offload and unoffload a bridge port (DSA, dpaa2-switch, ocelot), we
place the call to switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload() strategically inside
the NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER notifier's code path, and not inside
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER. This is because the switchdev object replay helpers
need the netdev adjacency lists to be valid, and that is only true in
NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER.

net: bridge: switchdev: recycle unused hwdoms

Since hwdoms have only been used thus far for equality comparisons, the
bridge has used the simplest possible assignment policy; using a
counter to keep track of the last value handed out.

With the upcoming transmit offloading, we need to perform set
operations efficiently based on hwdoms, e.g. we want to answer
questions like "has this skb been forwarded to any port within this
hwdom?"

Move to a bitmap-based allocation scheme that recycles hwdoms once all
members leaves the bridge. This means that we can use a single
unsigned long to keep track of the hwdoms that have received an skb.

v1->v2: convert the typedef DECLARE_BITMAP(br_hwdom_map_t, BR_HWDOM_MAX)
into a plain unsigned long.

net: bridge: disambiguate offload_fwd_mark

Before this change, four related - but distinct - concepts where named
offload_fwd_mark:

- skb->offload_fwd_mark: Set by the switchdev driver if the underlying
hardware has already forwarded this frame to the other ports in the
same hardware domain.

- nbp->offload_fwd_mark: An idetifier used to group ports that share
the same hardware forwarding domain.

- br->offload_fwd_mark: Counter used to make sure that unique IDs are
used in cases where a bridge contains ports from multiple hardware
domains.

- skb->cb->offload_fwd_mark: The hardware domain on which the frame
ingressed and was forwarded.

Introduce the term "hardware forwarding domain" ("hwdom") in the
bridge to denote a set of ports with the following property:

If an skb with skb->offload_fwd_mark set, is received on a port
belonging to hwdom N, that frame has already been forwarded to all
other ports in hwdom N.

By decoupling the name from "offload_fwd_mark", we can extend the
term's definition in the future - e.g. to add constraints that
describe expected egress behavior - without overloading the meaning of
"offload_fwd_mark".

- nbp->offload_fwd_mark thus becomes nbp->hwdom.

- br->offload_fwd_mark becomes br->last_hwdom.

- skb->cb->offload_fwd_mark becomes skb->cb->src_hwdom. The slight
change in naming here mandates a slight change in behavior of the
nbp_switchdev_frame_mark() function. Previously, it only set this
value in skb->cb for packets with skb->offload_fwd_mark true (ones
which were forwarded in hardware). Whereas now we always track the
incoming hwdom for all packets coming from a switchdev (even for the
packets which weren't forwarded in hardware, such as STP BPDUs, IGMP
reports etc). As all uses of skb->cb->offload_fwd_mark were already
gated behind checks of skb->offload_fwd_mark, this will not introduce
any functional change, but it paves the way for future changes where
the ingressing hwdom must be known for frames coming from a switchdev
regardless of whether they were forwarded in hardware or not
(basically, if the skb comes from a switchdev, skb->cb->src_hwdom now
always tracks which one).

A typical example where this is relevant: the switchdev has a fixed
configuration to trap STP BPDUs, but STP is not running on the bridge
and the group_fwd_mask allows them to be forwarded. Say we have this
setup:

br0
/ | \
/ | \
swp0 swp1 swp2

A BPDU comes in on swp0 and is trapped to the CPU; the driver does not
set skb->offload_fwd_mark. The bridge determines that the frame should
be forwarded to swp{1,2}. It is imperative that forward offloading is
_not_ allowed in this case, as the source hwdom is already "poisoned".

Recording the source hwdom allows this case to be handled properly.

net: bridge: vlan: add support for global options

We can have two types of vlan options depending on context:
- per-device vlan options (split in per-bridge and per-port)
- global vlan options

The second type wasn't supported in the bridge until now, but we need
them for per-vlan multicast support, per-vlan STP support and other
options which require global vlan context. They are contained in the global
bridge vlan context even if the vlan is not configured on the bridge device
itself. This patch adds initial netlink attributes and support for setting
these global vlan options, they can only be set (RTM_NEWVLAN) and the
operation must use the bridge device. Since there are no such options yet
it shouldn't have any functional effect.

net: bridge: multicast: add vlan state initialization and control

Add helpers to enable/disable vlan multicast based on its flags, we need
two flags because we need to know if the vlan has multicast enabled
globally (user-controlled) and if it has it enabled on the specific device
(bridge or port). The new private vlan flags are:
- BR_VLFLAG_MCAST_ENABLED: locally enabled multicast on the device, used
when removing a vlan, toggling vlan mcast snooping and controlling
single vlan (kernel-controlled, valid under RTNL and multicast_lock)
- BR_VLFLAG_GLOBAL_MCAST_ENABLED: globally enabled multicast for the
vlan, used to control the bridge-wide vlan mcast snooping for a
single vlan (user-controlled, can be checked under any context)

Bridge vlan contexts are created with multicast snooping enabled by
default to be in line with the current bridge snooping defaults. In
order to actually activate per vlan snooping and context usage a
bridge-wide knob will be added later which will default to disabled.
If that knob is enabled then automatically all vlan snooping will be
enabled. All vlan contexts are initialized with the current bridge
multicast context defaults.
