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.

====================
ndo_ioctl rework

This series is a follow-up to the series for removing
compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() that has now
been merged.

I wanted to be sure I address all the ways that 'struct ifreq' is used
in device drivers through .ndo_do_ioctl, originally to prove that
my approach of changing the struct definition was correct, but then
I discarded that approach and went on anyway.

Roughly, the contents here are:

- split out all the users of SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls into a
separate ndo_siocdevprivate callback, to better see what
gets used where

- fix compat handling for those drivers that pass data
directly inside of 'ifreq' rather than using an indirect
ifr_data pointer

- remove unreachable code in ndo_ioctl handlers that relies
on command codes we never pass into that, in particular
for wireless drivers

- split out the ethernet specific ioctls into yet another
ndo_eth_ioctl callback, as these are by far the most
common use of ndo_do_ioctl today. I considered splitting
them further into MII and timestamp controls, but
went with the simpler change for now.

- split out bonding and wandev ioctls into separate helpers

- rework the bridge handling with a separate callback

At this point, only a few oddball things remain in ndo_do_ioctl:
appletalk and ieee802154 pass down SIOCSIFADDR/SIOCGIFADDR and
some wireless drivers have completely dead code.

I have thoroughly compile tested this on randconfig builds,
but not done any notable runtime testing, so please review.

Merge branch 'bridge-tx-fwd'

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
Allow TX forwarding for the software bridge data path to be offloaded to capable devices

On RX, switchdev drivers have the ability to mark packets for the
software bridge as "already forwarded in hardware" via
skb->offload_fwd_mark. This instructs the nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress()
function to perform software forwarding of that packet only to the bridge
ports that are not in the same hardware domain as the source packet.

This series expands the concept for TX, in the sense that we can trust
the accelerator to:
(a) look up its FDB (which is more or less in sync with the software
bridge FDB) for selecting the destination ports for a packet
(b) replicate the frame in hardware in case it's a multicast/broadcast,
instead of the software bridge having to clone it and send the
clones to each net device one at a time. This reduces the bandwidth
needed between the CPU and the accelerator, as well as the CPU time
spent.

This is done by augmenting nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress() to also
exclude the bridge ports which have the tx_fwd_offload capability if the
skb has already been transmitted to one port from their hardware domain.

Even though in reality, the software bridge still technically looks up
the FDB/MDB for every frame, but all skb clones are suppressed, this
offload specifically requires that the switchdev accelerator looks up
its FDB/MDB again. It is intended to be used to inject "data plane
packets" into the hardware as opposed to "control plane packets" which
target a precise destination port.

Towards that goal, the bridge always provides the TX packets with
skb->offload_fwd_mark = true with the VLAN tag always present, so that
the accelerator can forward according to that VLAN broadcast domain.

This work is not intended to cater to switches which can inject control
plane packets to a bit mask of destination ports. I see that as a more
difficult task to accomplish with potentially less benefits (it provides
only replication offload). The reason it is more difficult is that
struct skb_buff would probably need to be extended to contain a list of
struct net_devices that the packet must be replicated to. Sending data
plane packets avoids that issue by keeping the hardware and software FDB
more or less in sync and looking it up twice.

Additionally, the ability for the software bridge to request data plane
packets to be sent brings the opportunity for "dumb switches" to support
traffic termination to/from the bridge. Such switches (DSA or otherwise)
typically only use control packets for link-local traps, and sending or
receiving a control packet is an expensive operation.

For this class of switches, this patch series makes the difference
between supporting and not supporting local IP termination through a
VLAN-aware bridge, bridging with a foreign interface, bridging with
software upper interfaces like LAG, etc. So instead of telling them
"oh, what a dumb switch you are!", we can now tell them "oh, what a
stark contrast you have between the control and data plane!".

Patches 1-3 tested on Turris MOX (3 mv88e6xxx switches in a daisy chain
topology) and a second DSA driver to be added soon. Patches 4-5 tested
only on Turris MOX.

===========================================================

Changes in v5:
- make sure the static key is decremented on bridge port unoffload
- rename functions and variables so that the "tx_fwd_offload" string is
easy to grep across the git tree
- simplify DSA core bookkeeping of the bridge_num

===========================================================

Changes in v4:

The biggest change compared to the previous series is not present in the
patches, but is rather a lack of them. Previously we were replaying
switchdev objects on the public notifier chain, but that was a mistake
in my reasoning and it was reverted for v4. Therefore, we are now
passing the notifier blocks as arguments to switchdev_bridge_port_offload()
for all drivers. This alone gets rid of 7 patches compared to v3.

Other changes are:
- Take more care for the case where mlxsw leaves a VLAN or LAG upper
that is a bridge port, make sure that switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload()
gets called for that case
- A couple of DSA bug fixes
- Add change logs for all patches
- Copy all switchdev driver maintainers on the changes relevant to them

===========================================================

Message for v3:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20210712152142.800651-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

In this submission I have introduced a "native switchdev" driver API to
signal whether the TX forwarding offload is supported or not. This comes
after a third person has said that the macvlan offload framework used
for v2 and v1 was simply too convoluted.

This large patch set is submitted for discussion purposes (it is
provided in its entirety so it can be applied & tested on net-next).
It is only minimally tested, and yet I will not copy all switchdev
driver maintainers until we agree on the viability of this approach.

The major changes compared to v2:
- The introduction of switchdev_bridge_port_offload() and
switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload() as two major API changes from the
perspective of a switchdev driver. All drivers were converted to call
these.
- Augment switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload to also handle the
switchdev object replays on port join/leave.
- Augment switchdev_bridge_port_offload to also signal whether the TX
forwarding offload is supported.

and made the following changes:
- I collected and integrated (hopefully all of) Nikolay's, Ido's and my
feedback on the bridge driver changes. Otherwise, the structure of the
bridge changes is pretty much the same as Tobias left it.
- I basically rewrote the DSA infrastructure for the data plane
forwarding offload, based on the commonalities with another switch
driver for which I implemented this feature (not submitted here)
- I adapted mv88e6xxx to use the new infrastructure, hopefully it still
works but I didn't test that

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

Merge branch 'bridge-port-offload'

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
Let switchdev drivers offload and unoffload bridge ports at their own convenience

This series introduces an explicit API through which switchdev drivers
mark a bridge port as offloaded or not:
- switchdev_bridge_port_offload()
- switchdev_bridge_port_unoffload()

Currently, the bridge assumes that a port is offloaded if
dev_get_port_parent_id(dev, &ppid, recurse=true) returns something, but
that is just an assumption that breaks some use cases (like a
non-offloaded LAG interface on top of a switchdev port, bridged with
other switchdev ports).

Along with some consolidation of the bridge logic to assign a "switchdev
offloading mark" to a port (now better called a "hardware domain"), this
series allows the bridge driver side to no longer impose restrictions on
that configuration.

Right now, all switchdev drivers must be modified to use the explicit
API, but more and more logic can then be placed centrally in the bridge
and therefore ease the job of a switchdev driver writer in the future.

For example, the first thing we can hook into the explicit switchdev
offloading API calls are the switchdev object and FDB replay helpers.
So far, these have only been used by DSA in "pull" mode (where the
driver must ask for them). Adding the replay helpers to other drivers
involves a lot of repetition. But by moving the helpers inside the
bridge port offload/unoffload hook points, we can move the entire replay
process to "push" mode (where the bridge provides them automatically).

The explicit switchdev offloading API will see further extensions in the
future.

The patches were split from a larger series for easier review:

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:

net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform which bridge ports are offloaded

On reception of an skb, the bridge checks if it was marked as 'already
forwarded in hardware' (checks if skb->offload_fwd_mark == 1), and if it
is, it assigns the source hardware domain of that skb based on the
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.

+-- br0 ---+
/ / | \
/ / | \
/ | | bond0
/ | | / \
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
| | switchdev mark for
v | bond0.
dsa_slave_netdevice_event | Coincidentally (or not),
| | bond0 and swp0, swp1, swp2
v | all have the same switchdev

for it, because I have |
a port with dp->lag_dev == bond0. |
| |
v |
.port_bridge_join |
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.
