Subject: [RFC net-next v3 01/10] net: bridge: mrp: Expose mrp attributes.
Expose the attributes and the commands used by the generic netlink interface to
configure the kernel from userspace. The following commands are available:
BR_MRP_GENL_ADD - creates an MRP instance. This doesn't have yet any MRP
ports attach to it.
BR_MRP_GENL_ADD_PORT - adds a port to an MRP instance. A port can't be part
of multiple MRP instances.
BR_MRP_GENL_DEL - deletes an MRP instance. By deleting the instance also the
MRP ports are removed.
BR_MRP_GENL_DEL_PORT - removes a port from an MRP instance. When the port is
removed then the state machine of the MRP instance is reset because there is
no point in having only 1 port in a MRP ring.
BR_MRP_GENL_SET_PORT_STATE - sets the port state. The port state can be
forwarding, which means that the port will forward frames and blocked, which
will block non-MRP frames.
BR_MRP_GENL_SET_PORT_ROLE - sets the port role, it can be primary or secondary.
BR_MRP_GENL_SET_RING_STATE - sets the ring state. The ring state can be closed
or open. This information is needed in the MRP_Test frames
BR_MRP_GENL_SET_RING_ROLE - sets the ring role. The supported roles are MRM
and MRC. A node can have MRM role only if, it can terminate MRP frames,
redirect MRP frames(except MRP_Test) to the CPU and can notify that it
stopped receiving frames. A node can have MRC role only if it can copy
MRP_Topology frames and forward frames between ring ports.
BR_MRP_GENL_SET_START_TEST - this command is used to notify the kernel to start
to generate MRP frames. A value of 0 for the attribute
BR_MRP_ATTR_TEST_INTERVAL means that it should stop to generate frames.
BR_MRP_GENL_FLUSH - this command is used to flush the fdb.
BR_MRP_GENL_RING_OPEN - it is used by the kernel to notify userspace
applications that one of the MRP ring ports stopped receiving MRP_Test frames
The calls to BR_MRP_GENL_SET_PORT_ROLE and BR_MRP_GENL_SET_RING_STATE are
required in case the driver can generate MRP_Test frames because these frames
contains this information. And there is no other way for the HW to get it.
MRP_Test frames contain also the number of times a ring went to open state.
There is no command for that because the driver can count this by counting the
number of times the ring state is set to open.

+/* These are the attributes used by the generic netlink interface for MRP
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_BR_IFINDEX - must be the ifindex of the bridge
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_PORT_IFINDEX - represents the index of one of the ports under the
+ * bridge, this is used in both cases to set the
+ * primary and secondary port.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_RING_NR - represents the ID of each MRP instance. On a bridge can
+ * multiple MRP instances.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_RING_ROLE - represents the role of the MRP instance. This
+ * attribute corresponds to the enum
+ * br_mrp_ring_role_type.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_RING_STATE - represents the state of the MRP instance. This
+ * attribute corresponds to the enum
+ * br_mrp_ring_state_type.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_PORT_STATE - represents the state of the MRP port. Add means if
+ * the port is allowed to forward or not non-MRP
+ * frames. It corresponds to enum
+ * br_mrp_port_state_type.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_PORT_ROLE - represents the role of the MRP port. It corresponds
+ * to enum br_mrp_port_role_type.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_TEST_INTERVAL - represents the interval of the generated MRP_Test
+ * frames. The value is in us.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_TEST_MAX_MISS - represents the number of MRP_Test frames that the
+ * port can miss before it notifies that the ring
+ * is open.
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_RING_OPEN - represents the Loss of continuity of a port. A value
+ * of 1 means that the port stopped receiving MRP_Test
+ * while a value of 0 means that the port started to
+ * receive MRP_Test frames
+ *
+ * Kernel needs to know about the attributes BR_MRP_ATTR_RING_STATE and
+ * BR_MRP_ATTR_PORT_ROLE because in case it can offload the generation of
+ * MRP_Test frames to HW then the HW needs to know these attributes to be able
+ * to generate correctly MRP_Test frames.
