From 54a0ed0df49609f4e3f098f8943e38e389dc2e15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 20:20:25 +0300 Subject: net: dsa: provide an option for drivers to always receive bridge VLANs DSA assumes that a bridge which has vlan filtering disabled is not vlan aware, and ignores all vlan configuration. However, the kernel software bridge code allows configuration in this state. This causes the kernel's idea of the bridge vlan state and the hardware state to disagree, so "bridge vlan show" indicates a correct configuration but the hardware lacks all configuration. Even worse, enabling vlan filtering on a DSA bridge immediately blocks all traffic which, given the output of "bridge vlan show", is very confusing. Provide an option that drivers can set to indicate they want to receive vlan configuration even when vlan filtering is disabled. At the very least, this is safe for Marvell DSA bridges, which do not look up ingress traffic in the VTU if the port is in 8021Q disabled state. It is also safe for the Ocelot switch family. Whether this change is suitable for all DSA bridges is not known. Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.
