Subject: [RFC] hardware bridging support for DSA switches

Hi,

Currently, the DSA switch driver (do 'git show 91da11f870' to refresh
your memory) treats every port on the connected hardware switch chip
as a single Linux network interface, and any hardware bridging/routing
capabilities that the switch chip might have are not used.

In the past, there have been various ways of configuring external
hardware that can offload things like bridging, routing, firewalling,
etc.  What most of those methods had in common was that they are not
transparent to the user -- they bypass the Linux networking stack
and present their own configuration API, require the system admin to
use special tools to configure them, etc.


The attached patch enables hardware bridging for the 88e6123/6161/6165
DSA ethernet switch chips by mirroring the configuration of Linux
bridge interfaces into the hardware, requiring no extra tools to
configure the hardware bridging capabilities of the chip.

(While the patch in itself works, the implementation is ugly, and I
don't see it being merged upstream in this form any time soon -- I'm
sending it to encourage discussion about what the right way of doing
this should be.)

Basically, if you do:

	# brctl addbr br0
	# brctl addif br0 lan1
	# brctl addif br0 lan2

And if lan1 and lan2 are interfaces on the same DSA switch chip, this
patch will program the switch to tell it that lan1 and lan2 are now
part of the same port group, are to share MAC address databases, and
are allowed to directly forward packets to each other.  The regular
ethtool stats interfaces can be used to determine the byte/packet
counts of all frames forwarded in hardware.


While conceptually I think this is the way this should work (i.e. no
workflow changes for the system administrator), the code shouldn't be
hooking directly into the bridge code at all.  Ideally, it should
just be using a netlink interface providing this info:
- bridge port group creation/destruction
- adding/removing an interface to/from a bridge port group
- changing the STP state of an interface in a bridge port group

>From a quick look, the current net/bridge/ netlink code allows
configuring the bridge from userland, but doesn't seem to be
providing notification in all cases of interest (e.g. when the kernel
STP code changes the STP state of a port, there doesn't seem to be a
notification) -- but I'll have to look into that a bit further.


In any case, any comments about the above appreciated.


thanks,
Lennert
