Linux Ethernet Bridging - Dec 2020 - [Bridge] [PATCH v2 net-next 3/6] net: dsa: move switchdev event implementation under the same switch/case statement

This small series tries to make DSA behave a bit more sanely when
bridged with "foreign" (non-DSA) interfaces. When a station A
connected
to a DSA switch port needs to talk to another station B connected to a
non-DSA port through the Linux bridge, DSA must explicitly add a route
for station B towards its CPU port. It cannot rely on hardware address
learning for that.

Initial RFC was posted here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg698169.html

Currently the bridge emits atomic switchdev notifications for
dynamically learnt FDB entries. Monitoring these notifications works
wonders for switchdev drivers that want to keep their hardware FDB in
sync with the bridge's FDB.

For example station A wants to talk to station B in the diagram below,
and we are concerned with the behavior of the bridge on the DUT device:

                              Station B

Interfaces swp0, swp1, swp2 are handled by a switchdev driver that has
the following property: frames injected from its control interface bypass
the internal address analyzer logic, and therefore, this hardware does
not learn from the source address of packets transmitted by the network
stack through it. So, since bridging between eth0 (where Station B is
attached) and swp0 (where Station A is attached) is done in software,
the switchdev hardware will never learn the source address of Station B.
So the traffic towards that destination will be treated as unknown, i.e.
flooded.

This is where the bridge notifications come in handy. When br0 on the
DUT sees frames with Station B's MAC address on eth0, the switchdev
driver gets these notifications and can install a rule to send frames
towards Station B's address that are incoming from swp0, swp1, swp2,
only towards the control interface. This is all switchdev driver private
business, which the notification makes possible.

All is fine until someone unplugs Station B's cable and moves it to the
other switch:

         +--+------+--+    +--+------+--+
               |
           Station B

Luckily for the use cases we care about, Station B is noisy enough that
the DUT hears it (on swp1 this time). swp1 receives the frames and
delivers them to the bridge, who enters the unlikely path in br_fdb_update
of updating an existing entry. It moves the entry in the software bridge
to swp1 and emits an addition notification towards that.

As far as the switchdev driver is concerned, all that it needs to ensure
is that traffic between Station A and Station B is not forever broken.
If it does nothing, then the stale rule to send frames for Station B
towards the control interface remains in place. But Station B is no
longer reachable via the control interface, but via a port that can
offload the bridge port learning attribute. It's just that the port is
prevented from learning this address, since the rule overrides FDB
updates. So the rule needs to go. The question is via what mechanism.

It sure would be possible for this switchdev driver to keep track of all
addresses which are sent to the control interface, and then also listen
for bridge notifier events on its own ports, searching for the ones that
have a MAC address which was previously sent to the control interface.
But this is cumbersome and inefficient. Instead, with one small change,
the bridge could notify of the address deletion from the old port, in a
symmetrical manner with how it did for the insertion. Then the switchdev
driver would not be required to monitor learn/forget events for its own
ports. It could just delete the rule towards the control interface upon
bridge entry migration. This would make hardware address learning be
possible again. Then it would take a few more packets until the hardware
and software FDB would be in sync again.

Currently DSA doesn't add FDB entries on the CPU port, because it only
does so through switchdev, which is associated with a net_device, and
there are none of those for the CPU port.

But actually FDB addresses on the CPU port have some use cases of their
own, if the switchdev operations are initiated from within the DSA
layer. There is just one problem with the existing code: it passes a
structure in dsa_switchdev_event_work which was retrieved directly from
switchdev, so it contains a net_device. We need to generalize the
contents to something that covers the CPU port as well: the "ds, port"
tuple is fine for that.

Note that the new procedure for notifying the successful FDB offload is
inspired from the rocker model.

Also, nothing was being done if added_by_user was false. Let's check for
that a lot earlier, and don't actually bother to schedule the worker
for nothing.

We'll need to start listening to SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD,DEL}_TO_DEVICE
events even for interfaces where dsa_slave_dev_check returns false, so
we need that check inside the switch-case statement for SWITCHDEV_FDB_*.

This movement also avoids a useless allocation / free of switchdev_work
on the untreated "default event" case.

Right now, the following would happen for a switch driver that does not
implement .port_fdb_add or .port_fdb_del.

dsa_slave_switchdev_event returns NOTIFY_OK and schedules:
-> dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work
   -> dsa_port_fdb_add
      -> dsa_port_notify(DSA_NOTIFIER_FDB_ADD)
         -> dsa_switch_fdb_add
            -> if (!ds->ops->port_fdb_add) return -EOPNOTSUPP;
   -> an error is printed with dev_dbg, and
      dsa_fdb_offload_notify(switchdev_work) is not called.

We can avoid scheduling the worker for nothing and say NOTIFY_OK.
Because we don't call dsa_fdb_offload_notify, the static FDB entry will
remain just in the software bridge.

2.25.1

Some DSA switches (and not only) cannot learn source MAC addresses from
packets injected from the CPU. They only perform hardware address
learning from inbound traffic.

This can be problematic when we have a bridge spanning some DSA switch
ports and some non-DSA ports (which we'll call "foreign
interfaces" from
DSA's perspective).

There are 2 classes of problems created by the lack of learning on
CPU-injected traffic:
- excessive flooding, due to the fact that DSA treats those addresses as
  unknown
- the risk of stale routes, which can lead to temporary packet loss

To illustrate the second class, consider the following situation, which
is common in production equipment (wireless access points, where there
is a WLAN interface and an Ethernet switch, and these form a single
bridging domain).

 AP 2

- br0 of AP 1 will know that Clients A and B are reachable via wlan0
- the hardware fdb of a DSA switch driver today is not kept in sync with
  the software entries on other bridge ports, so it will not know that
  clients A and B are reachable via the CPU port UNLESS the hardware
  switch itself performs SA learning from traffic injected from the CPU.
  Nonetheless, a substantial number of switches don't.
- the hardware fdb of the DSA switch on AP 2 may autonomously learn that
  Client A and B are reachable through swp0. Therefore, the software br0
  of AP 2 also may or may not learn this. In the example we're
  illustrating, some Ethernet traffic has been going on, and br0 from AP
  2 has indeed learnt that it can reach Client B through swp0.

One of the wireless clients, say Client B, disconnects from AP 1 and
roams to AP 2. The topology now looks like this:

 AP 1:

       |                                                            v

 AP 2

- br0 of AP 1 still knows that Client A is reachable via wlan0 (no change)
- br0 of AP 1 will (possibly) know that Client B has left wlan0. There
  are cases where it might never find out though. Either way, DSA today
  does not process that notification in any way.
- the hardware FDB of the DSA switch on AP 1 may learn autonomously that
  Client B can be reached via swp0, if it receives any packet with
  Client 1's source MAC address over Ethernet.
- the hardware FDB of the DSA switch on AP 2 still thinks that Client B
  can be reached via swp0. It does not know that it has roamed to wlan0,
  because it doesn't perform SA learning from the CPU port.

Now Client A contacts Client B.
AP 1 routes the packet fine towards swp0 and delivers it on the Ethernet
segment.
AP 2 sees a frame on swp0 and its fdb says that the destination is swp0.
Hairpinning is disabled => drop.

This problem comes from the fact that these switches have a 'blind spot'
for addresses coming from software bridging. The generic solution is not
to assume that hardware learning can be enabled somehow, but to listen
to more bridge learning events. It turns out that the bridge driver does
learn in software from all inbound frames, in __br_handle_local_finish.
A proper SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE notification is emitted for the
addresses serviced by the bridge on 'foreign' interfaces. The software
bridge also does the right thing on migration, by notifying that the old
entry is deleted, so that does not need to be special-cased in DSA. When
it is deleted, we just need to delete our static FDB entry towards the
CPU too, and wait.

The problem is that DSA currently only cares about SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE
events received on its own interfaces, such as static FDB entries.

Luckily we can change that, and DSA can listen to all switchdev FDB
add/del events in the system and figure out if those events were emitted
by a bridge that spans at least one of DSA's own ports. In case that is
true, DSA will also offload that address towards its own CPU port, in
the eventuality that there might be bridge clients attached to the DSA
switch who want to talk to the station connected to the foreign
interface.

In terms of implementation, we need to keep the fdb_info->added_by_user
check for the case where the switchdev event was targeted directly at a
DSA switch port. But we don't need to look at that flag for snooped
events. So the check is currently too late, we need to move it earlier.
This also simplifies the code a bit, since we avoid uselessly allocating
and freeing switchdev_work.

We could probably do some improvements in the future. For example,
multi-bridge support is rudimentary at the moment. If there are two
bridges spanning a DSA switch's ports, and both of them need to service
the same MAC address, then what will happen is that the migration of one
of those stations will trigger the deletion of the FDB entry from the
CPU port while it is still used by other bridge. That could be improved
with reference counting but is left for another time.

This behavior needs to be enabled at driver level by setting
ds->learning_broken_on_cpu_port = true. This is because we don't want to
inflict a potential performance penalty (accesses through MDIO/I2C/SPI
are expensive) to hardware that really doesn't need it because address
learning on the CPU port works there.

2.25.1

Given the following setup:

ip link add br0 type bridge
ip link set eno0 master br0
ip link set swp0 master br0
ip link set swp1 master br0
ip link set swp2 master br0
ip link set swp3 master br0

Currently, packets received on a DSA slave interface (such as swp0)
which should be routed by the software bridge towards a non-switch port
(such as eno0) are also flooded towards the other switch ports (swp1,
swp2, swp3) because the destination is unknown to the hardware switch.

This patch addresses the issue by monitoring the addresses learnt by the
software bridge on eno0, and adding/deleting them as static FDB entries
on the CPU port accordingly.
