Texas Instruments CPSW switchdev based ethernet driver
======================================================

:Version: 2.0

Port renaming
=============

On older udev versions renaming of ethX to swXpY will not be automatically
supported

In order to rename via udev::

    ip -d link show dev sw0p1 | grep switchid

    SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{phys_switch_id}==<switchid>, \
	    ATTR{phys_port_name}!="", NAME="sw0$attr{phys_port_name}"


Dual mac mode
=============

- The new (cpsw_new.c) driver is operating in dual-emac mode by default, thus
  working as 2 individual network interfaces. Main differences from legacy CPSW
  driver are:

 - optimized promiscuous mode: The P0_UNI_FLOOD (both ports) is enabled in
   addition to ALLMULTI (current port) instead of ALE_BYPASS.
   So, Ports in promiscuous mode will keep possibility of mcast and vlan
   filtering, which is provides significant benefits when ports are joined
   to the same bridge, but without enabling "switch" mode, or to different
   bridges.
 - learning disabled on ports as it make not too much sense for
   segregated ports - no forwarding in HW.
 - enabled basic support for devlink.

Bridging in dual mac mode
=========================

The dual_mac mode requires two vids to be reserved for internal purposes,
which, by default, equal CPSW Port numbers. As result, bridge has to be
configured in vlan unaware mode or default_pvid has to be adjusted::

	ip link add name br0 type bridge
	ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0
	echo 0 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid
	ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0
	ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0

or::

	ip link add name br0 type bridge
	ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0
	echo 100 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid
	ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
	ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0
	ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0

Enabling "switch"
=================

The Switch mode can be enabled by configuring devlink driver parameter
"switch_mode" to 1/true::

	devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \
	name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime

This can be done regardless of the state of Port's netdev devices - UP/DOWN, but
Port's netdev devices have to be in UP before joining to the bridge to avoid
overwriting of bridge configuration as CPSW switch driver copletly reloads its
configuration when first Port changes its state to UP.

When the both interfaces joined the bridge - CPSW switch driver will enable
marking packets with offload_fwd_mark flag unless "ale_bypass=0"

All configuration is implemented via switchdev API.

Bridge setup
============

::

	devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \
	name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime

	ip link add name br0 type bridge
	ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 1000
	ip link set dev sw0p1 up
	ip link set dev sw0p2 up
	ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0
	ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0

	[*] bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 1 pvid untagged self

	[*] if vlan_filtering=1. where default_pvid=1

	Note. Steps [*] are mandatory.


On/off STP
==========

::

	ip link set dev BRDEV type bridge stp_state 1/0

VLAN configuration
==================

::

  bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 1 pvid untagged self <---- add cpu port to VLAN 1

Note. This step is mandatory for bridge/default_pvid.

Add extra VLANs
===============

 1. untagged::

	bridge vlan add dev sw0p1 vid 100 pvid untagged master
	bridge vlan add dev sw0p2 vid 100 pvid untagged master
	bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 100 pvid untagged self <---- Add cpu port to VLAN100

 2. tagged::

	bridge vlan add dev sw0p1 vid 100 master
	bridge vlan add dev sw0p2 vid 100 master
	bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 100 pvid tagged self <---- Add cpu port to VLAN100

FDBs
----

FDBs are automatically added on the appropriate switch port upon detection

Manually adding FDBs::

    bridge fdb add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff dev sw0p1 master vlan 100
    bridge fdb add aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fe dev sw0p2 master <---- Add on all VLANs

MDBs
----

MDBs are automatically added on the appropriate switch port upon detection

Manually adding MDBs::

  bridge mdb add dev br0 port sw0p1 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent vid 100
  bridge mdb add dev br0 port sw0p1 grp 239.1.1.1 permanent <---- Add on all VLANs

Multicast flooding
==================
CPU port mcast_flooding is always on

Turning flooding on/off on switch ports:
bridge link set dev sw0p1 mcast_flood on/off

Access and Trunk port
=====================

::

 bridge vlan add dev sw0p1 vid 100 pvid untagged master
 bridge vlan add dev sw0p2 vid 100 master


 bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 100 self
 ip link add link br0 name br0.100 type vlan id 100

Note. Setting PVID on Bridge device itself working only for
default VLAN (default_pvid).

NFS
===

The only way for NFS to work is by chrooting to a minimal environment when
switch configuration that will affect connectivity is needed.
Assuming you are booting NFS with eth1 interface(the script is hacky and
it's just there to prove NFS is doable).

setup.sh::

	#!/bin/sh
	mkdir proc
	mount -t proc none /proc
	ifconfig br0  > /dev/null
	if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
		echo "Setting up bridge"
		ip link add name br0 type bridge
		ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 1000
		ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1

		ip link set eth1 down
		ip link set eth1 name sw0p1
		ip link set dev sw0p1 up
		ip link set dev sw0p2 up
		ip link set dev sw0p2 master br0
		ip link set dev sw0p1 master br0
		bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 1 pvid untagged self
		ifconfig sw0p1 0.0.0.0
		udhchc -i br0
	fi
	umount /proc

run_nfs.sh:::

	#!/bin/sh
	mkdir /tmp/root/bin -p
	mkdir /tmp/root/lib -p

	cp -r /lib/ /tmp/root/
	cp -r /bin/ /tmp/root/
	cp /sbin/ip /tmp/root/bin
	cp /sbin/bridge /tmp/root/bin
	cp /sbin/ifconfig /tmp/root/bin
	cp /sbin/udhcpc /tmp/root/bin
	cp /path/to/setup.sh /tmp/root/bin
	chroot /tmp/root/ busybox sh /bin/setup.sh

	run ./run_nfs.sh
