net: bridge: disambiguate offload_fwd_mark
Before this change, four related - but distinct - concepts where named offload_fwd_mark: - skb->offload_fwd_mark: Set by the switchdev driver if the underlying hardware has already forwarded this frame to the other ports in the same hardware domain. - nbp->offload_fwd_mark: An idetifier used to group ports that share the same hardware forwarding domain. - br->offload_fwd_mark: Counter used to make sure that unique IDs are used in cases where a bridge contains ports from multiple hardware domains. - skb->cb->offload_fwd_mark: The hardware domain on which the frame ingressed and was forwarded. Introduce the term "hardware forwarding domain" ("hwdom") in the bridge to denote a set of ports with the following property: If an skb with skb->offload_fwd_mark set, is received on a port belonging to hwdom N, that frame has already been forwarded to all other ports in hwdom N. By decoupling the name from "offload_fwd_mark", we can extend the term's definition in the future - e.g. to add constraints that describe expected egress behavior - without overloading the meaning of "offload_fwd_mark". - nbp->offload_fwd_mark thus becomes nbp->hwdom. - br->offload_fwd_mark becomes br->last_hwdom. - skb->cb->offload_fwd_mark becomes skb->cb->src_hwdom. The slight change in naming here mandates a slight change in behavior of the nbp_switchdev_frame_mark() function. Previously, it only set this value in skb->cb for packets with skb->offload_fwd_mark true (ones which were forwarded in hardware). Whereas now we always track the incoming hwdom for all packets coming from a switchdev (even for the packets which weren't forwarded in hardware, such as STP BPDUs, IGMP reports etc). As all uses of skb->cb->offload_fwd_mark were already gated behind checks of skb->offload_fwd_mark, this will not introduce any functional change, but it paves the way for future changes where the ingressing hwdom must be known for frames coming from a switchdev regardless of whether they were forwarded in hardware or not (basically, if the skb comes from a switchdev, skb->cb->src_hwdom now always tracks which one). A typical example where this is relevant: the switchdev has a fixed configuration to trap STP BPDUs, but STP is not running on the bridge and the group_fwd_mask allows them to be forwarded. Say we have this setup: br0 / | \ / | \ swp0 swp1 swp2 A BPDU comes in on swp0 and is trapped to the CPU; the driver does not set skb->offload_fwd_mark. The bridge determines that the frame should be forwarded to swp{1,2}. It is imperative that forward offloading is _not_ allowed in this case, as the source hwdom is already "poisoned". Recording the source hwdom allows this case to be handled properly. v2->v3: added code comments v3->v6: none Signed-off-by: Tobias Waldekranz <tobias@waldekranz.com> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
