net: dsa: let the core manage the tag_8021q context
The basic problem description is as follows: Be there 3 switches in a daisy chain topology: | sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw0p4 [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ cpu ] | +---------+ | sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4 [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ] | +---------+ | sw2p0 sw2p1 sw2p2 sw2p3 sw2p4 [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] The CPU will not be able to ping through the user ports of the bottom-most switch (like for example sw2p0), simply because tag_8021q was not coded up for this scenario - it has always assumed DSA switch trees with a single switch. To add support for the topology above, we must admit that the RX VLAN of sw2p0 must be added on some ports of switches 0 and 1 as well. This is in fact a textbook example of thing that can use the cross-chip notifier framework that DSA has set up in switch.c. There is only one problem: core DSA (switch.c) is not able right now to make the connection between a struct dsa_switch *ds and a struct dsa_8021q_context *ctx. Right now, it is drivers who call into tag_8021q.c and always provide a struct dsa_8021q_context *ctx pointer, and tag_8021q.c calls them back with the .tag_8021q_vlan_{add,del} methods. But with cross-chip notifiers, it is possible for tag_8021q to call drivers without drivers having ever asked for anything. A good example is right above: when sw2p0 wants to set itself up for tag_8021q, the .tag_8021q_vlan_add method needs to be called for switches 1 and 0, so that they transport sw2p0's VLANs towards the CPU without dropping them. So instead of letting drivers manage the tag_8021q context, add a tag_8021q_ctx pointer inside of struct dsa_switch, which will be populated when dsa_tag_8021q_register() returns success. The patch is fairly long-winded because we are partly reverting commit 5899ee3 ("net: dsa: tag_8021q: add a context structure") which made the driver-facing tag_8021q API use "ctx" instead of "ds". Now that we can access "ctx" directly from "ds", this is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
