net: dsa: felix: manage host flooding using a specific driver callback
At the time - commit 7569459a52c9 ("net: dsa: manage flooding on the CPU ports") - not introducing a dedicated switch callback for host flooding made sense, because for the only user, the felix driver, there was nothing different to do for the CPU port than set the flood flags on the CPU port just like on any other bridge port. There are 2 reasons why this approach is not good enough, however. (1) Other drivers, like sja1105, support configuring flooding as a function of {ingress port, egress port}, whereas the DSA ->port_bridge_flags() function only operates on an egress port. So with that driver we'd have useless host flooding from user ports which don't need it. (2) Even with the felix driver, support for multiple CPU ports makes it difficult to piggyback on ->port_bridge_flags(). The way in which the felix driver is going to support host-filtered addresses with multiple CPU ports is that it will direct these addresses towards both CPU ports (in a sort of multicast fashion), then restrict the forwarding to only one of the two using the forwarding masks. Consequently, flooding will also be enabled towards both CPU ports. However, ->port_bridge_flags() gets passed the index of a single CPU port, and that leaves the flood settings out of sync between the 2 CPU ports. This is to say, it's better to have a specific driver method for host flooding, which takes the user port as argument. This solves problem (1) by allowing the driver to do different things for different user ports, and problem (2) by abstracting the operation and letting the driver do whatever, rather than explicitly making the DSA core point to the CPU port it thinks needs to be touched. This new method also creates a problem, which is that cross-chip setups are not handled. However I don't have hardware right now where I can test what is the proper thing to do, and there isn't hardware compatible with multi-switch trees that supports host flooding. So it remains a problem to be tackled in the future. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
