H A D | br_input.c | 9eb8eff0 Sun May 10 11:37:40 CDT 2020 Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> net: bridge: allow enslaving some DSA master network devices
Commit 8db0a2ee2c63 ("net: bridge: reject DSA-enabled master netdevices as bridge members") added a special check in br_if.c in order to check for a DSA master network device with a tagging protocol configured. This was done because back then, such devices, once enslaved in a bridge would become inoperative and would not pass DSA tagged traffic anymore due to br_handle_frame returning RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED.
But right now we have valid use cases which do require bridging of DSA masters. One such example is when the DSA master ports are DSA switch ports themselves (in a disjoint tree setup). This should be completely equivalent, functionally speaking, from having multiple DSA switches hanging off of the ports of a switchdev driver. So we should allow the enslaving of DSA tagged master network devices.
Instead of the regular br_handle_frame(), install a new function br_handle_frame_dummy() on these DSA masters, which returns RX_HANDLER_PASS in order to call into the DSA specific tagging protocol handlers, and lift the restriction from br_add_if.
