net: mvpp2: Add support for unicast filtering
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Marvell PPv2 controller can be used to implement packet filtering based
on the destination MAC address. This is already used to implement
multicast filtering. This patch adds support for Unicast filtering.

Filtering is based on so-called "TCAM entries" to implement filtering.
Due to their limited number and the fact that these are also used for
other purposes, we reserve 80 entries for both unicast and multicast
filters. On top of the broadcast address, and each interface's own MAC
address, we reserve 25 entries per port, 4 for unicast filters, 21 for
multicast.

Whenever unicast or multicast range for one port is full, the filtering
is disabled and port goes into promiscuous mode for the given type of
addresses.
