Linux Ethernet Bridging - Apr 2020 - [Bridge] [RFC net-next v4 0/9] net: bridge: mrp: Add support for Media Redundancy Protocol(MRP)

Media Redundancy Protocol is a data network protocol standardized by
International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 62439-2. It allows rings of
Ethernet switches to overcome any single failure with recovery time faster than
STP. It is primarily used in Industrial Ethernet applications.

Based on the previous RFC[1][2][3], the MRP state machine and all the timers
were moved to userspace, except for the timers used to generate MRP Test frames.
In this way the userspace doesn't know and should not know if the HW or the
kernel will generate the MRP Test frames. The following changes were added to
the bridge to support the MRP:
- the existing netlink interface was extended with MRP support,
- allow to detect when a MRP frame was received on a MRP ring port
- allow MRP instance to forward/terminate MRP frames
- generate MRP Test frames in case the HW doesn't have support for this

To be able to offload MRP support to HW, the switchdev API  was extend.

With these changes the userspace doesn't do the following because already
the
kernel/HW will do:
- doesn't need to forward/terminate MRP frames
- doesn't need to generate MRP Test frames
- doesn't need to detect when the ring is open/closed.

The userspace application that is using the new netlink can be found here[4].

The current implementation both in kernel and userspace supports only 2 roles:
  MRM - this one is responsible to send MRP_Test and MRP_Topo frames on both
  ring ports. It needs to process MRP_Test to know if the ring is open or
  closed. This operation is desired to be offloaded to the HW because it
  requires to generate and process up to 4000 frames per second. Whenever it
  detects that the ring is open it sends MRP_Topo frames to notify all MRC about
  changes in the topology. MRM needs also to process MRP_LinkChange frames,
  these frames are generated by the MRC. When the ring is open then the state
  of both ports is to forward frames and when the ring is closed then the
  secondary port is blocked.

  MRC - this one is responsible to forward MRP frames between the ring ports.
  In case one of the ring ports gets a link down or up, then MRC will generate
  a MRP_LinkChange frames. This node should also process MRP_Topo frames and to
  clear its FDB when it receives this frame.

 Userspace
               Deamon +----------+ Client
                +
                |
 +--------------|-----------------------------------------+
  Kernel        |
                + Netlink

                |                              + Interrupt
                |                              |
 +--------------|------------------------------|----------+
  HW            | Switchdev                    |
                +                              |

The user interacts using the client (called 'mrp'), the client talks to
the
deamon (called 'mrp_server'), which talks with the kernel using netlink.
The
kernel will try to offload the requests to the HW via switchdev API.

If this will be accepted then in the future the netlink interface can be
expended with multiple attributes which are required by different roles of the
MRP. Like Media Redundancy Automanager(MRA), Media Interconnect Manager(MIM) and
Media Interconnect Client(MIC).

2.17.1

Add new nested netlink attribute to configure the MRP. These attributes are used
by the userspace to add/delete/configure MRP instances and by the kernel to
notify the userspace when the MRP ring gets open/closed. MRP nested attribute
has the following attributes:

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_INSTANCE - the parameter type is br_mrp_instance which contains
  the instance id, and the ifindex of the two ports. The ports can't be part
of
  multiple instances. This is used to create/delete MRP instances.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_STATE - the parameter type is u32. Which can be forwarding,
  blocking or disabled.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_port_role which
  contains the instance id and the role. The role can be primary or secondary.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_STATE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_state which
  contains the instance id and the state. The state can be open or closed.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_role which
  contains the instance id and the ring role. The role can be MRM or MRC.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST - the parameter type is br_mrp_start_test which
  contains the instance id, the interval at which to send the MRP_Test frames,
  how many test frames can be missed before declaring the ring open and the
  period which represent for how long to send the test frames.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_OPEN - the parameter type is u32 and has a value of 1 if
  the port stopped receiving test frames and a value 0 is started to receive
  them.  This attribut is used by the kernel to notify the userspace when the
  ring gets open or closed.

Also add the file include/uapi/linux/mrp_bridge.h which defines all the types
used by MRP that are also needed by the userpace.

2.17.1

In case the HW is capable to detect when the MRP ring is open or closed. It is
expected that the network driver will notify the SW that the ring is open or
closed.

The function br_mrp_port_open is used to notify the kernel that one of the ports
stopped receiving MRP_Test frames. The argument 'loc' has a value of
'1' when
the port stopped receiving MRP_Test and '0' when it started to receive
MRP_Test.

Define the MRP interface.
This interface is used by the netlink to update the MRP instances and by the MRP
to make the calls to switchdev to offload it to HW.

It defines an MRP instance 'struct br_mrp' which is a list of MRP
instances.
Which will be part of the 'struct net_bridge'. Each instance has 2 ring
ports,
a bridge and an ID.

In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will generate
those.

br_mrp_add - adds a new MRP instance.

br_mrp_del - deletes an existing MRP instance. Each instance has an ID(ring_id).

br_mrp_set_port_state - changes the port state. The port can be in forwarding
  state, which means that the frames can pass through or in blocked state which
  means that the frames can't pass through except MRP frames. This will
  eventually call the switchdev API to notify the HW. This information is used
  also by the SW bridge to know how to forward frames in case the HW doesn't
  have this capability.

br_mrp_set_port_role - a port role can be primary or secondary. This
  information is required to be pushed to HW in case the HW can generate
  MRP_Test frames.  Because the MRP_Test frames contains a file with this
  information. Otherwise the HW will not be able to generate the frames
  correctly.

br_mrp_set_ring_state - a ring can be in state open or closed. State open means
  that the mrp port stopped receiving MRP_Test frames, while closed means that
  the mrp port received MRP_Test frames. Similar with br_mrp_port_role, this
  information is pushed in HW because the MRP_Test frames contain this
  information.

br_mrp_set_ring_role - a ring can have the following roles MRM or MRC. For the
  role MRM it is expected that the HW can terminate the MRP frames, notify the
  SW that it stopped receiving MRP_Test frames and trapp all the other MRP
  frames.  While for MRC mode it is expected that the HW can forward the MRP
  frames only between the MRP ports and copy MRP_Topology frames to CPU. In
  case the HW doesn't support a role it needs to return an error code
different
  than -EOPNOTSUPP.

br_mrp_start_test - this starts/stops the generation of MRP_Test frames. To stop
  the generation of frames the interval needs to have a value of 0. In this case
  the userspace needs to know if the HW supports this or not. Not to have
  duplicate frames(generated by HW and SW). Because if the HW supports this then
  the SW will not generate anymore frames and will expect that the HW will
  notify when it stopped receiving MRP frames using the function
  br_mrp_port_open.

br_mrp_port_open - this function is used by drivers to notify the userspace via
  a netlink callback that one of the ports stopped receiving MRP_Test frames.
  This function is called only when the node has the role MRM. It is not
  supposed to be called from userspace.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_add - this corresponds to the function br_mrp_add,
  and will notify the HW that a MRP instance is added. The function gets
  as parameter the MRP instance.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_del - this corresponds to the function br_mrp_del,
  and will notify the HW that a MRP instance is removed. The function
  gets as parameter the ID of the MRP instance that is removed.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_state - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_port_state. It would notify the HW if it should block or not
  non-MRP frames.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_port - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_port_role. It would set the port role, primary or secondary.

br_mrp_switchdev_set_role - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_ring_role and would set one of the role MRM or MRC.

br_mrp_switchdev_set_ring_state - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_ring_state and would set the ring to be open or closed.

br_mrp_switchdev_send_ring_test - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_start_test. This will notify the HW to start or stop generating
  MRP_Test frames. Value 0 for the interval parameter means to stop generating
  the frames.

2.17.1

Extend switchdev API to add support for MRP. The HW is notified in
following cases:

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_MRP: This is used when a MRP instance is added/removed
  from the MRP ring.

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_RING_ROLE_MRP: This is used when the role of the node
  changes. The current supported roles are MRM and MRC.

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_RING_TEST_MRP: This is used when to start/stop sending
  MRP_Test frames on the mrp ring ports. This is called only on nodes that have
  the role MRM. In case this fails then the SW will generate the frames.

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_MRP_PORT_STATE: This is used when the port's state is
  changed. It can be in blocking/forwarding mode.

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_MRP_PORT_ROLE: This is used when port's role changes. The
  roles of the port can be primary/secondary. This is required to notify HW
  because the MRP_Test frame contains the field MRP_PortRole that contains this
  information.

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_MRP_RING_STATE: This is used when the ring changes it states
  to open or closed. This is required to notify HW because the MRP_Test frame
  contains the field MRP_InState which contains this information.

Implement the MRP api for switchdev.
These functions will just eventually call the switchdev functions:
switchdev_port_obj_add/del and switchdev_port_attr_set.

2.17.1

Implement the MRP api.

In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will try to
generate
the frames. In case that also the SW will fail in generating the frames then a
error is return to the userspace. The userspace is responsible to generate all
the other MRP frames regardless if the test frames are generated by HW or SW.

The forwarding/termination of MRP frames is happening in the kernel and is done
by the MRP instance. The userspace application doesn't do the forwarding.

2.17.1

To integrate MRP into the bridge, the bridge needs to do the following:
- add new flag(BR_MPP_AWARE) to the net bridge ports, this bit will be set when
  the port is added to an MRP instance. In this way it knows if the frame was
  received on MRP ring port
- detect if the MRP frame was received on MRP ring port in that case it would be
  processed otherwise just forward it as usual.
- enable parsing of MRP
- before whenever the bridge was set up, it would set all the ports in
  forwarding state. Add an extra check to not set ports in forwarding state if
  the port is an MRP ring port. The reason of this change is that if the MRP
  instance initially sets the port in blocked state by setting the bridge up it
  would overwrite this setting.

Hi Horatiu,
One issue in general - some functions are used before they're defined (the
switchdev
API integration ones) patch 4 vs 7 which doesn't make sense. Also I see that
the BRIDGE_MRP is used
(ifdef) before it's added to the Kconfig which doesn't make much sense
either.
I think you should rearrange the patches and maybe combine some of them.

Thanks,
 Nik

Thanks for the feedback, in the next patch series I will make sure that
everything is defined before it is used.
