Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 00/10] Wire up Ocelot tc-flower to Felix DSA

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

This series is a proposal on how to wire up the tc-flower callbacks into
DSA. The example taken is the Microchip Felix switch, whose core
implementation is actually located in drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/.

The proposal is largely a compromise solution. The DSA middle layer
handles just enough to get to the interesting stuff (FLOW_CLS_REPLACE,
FLOW_CLS_DESTROY, FLOW_CLS_STATS), but also thin enough to let drivers
decide what filter keys and actions they support without worrying that
the DSA middle layer will grow exponentially. I am far from being an
expert, so I am asking reviewers to please voice your opinion if you
think it can be done differently, with better results.

The bulk of the work was actually refactoring the ocelot driver enough
to allow the VCAP (Versatile Content-Aware Processor) code for vsc7514
and the vsc9959 switch cores to live together.

Flow block offloads have not been tested yet, only filters attached to a
single port. It might be as simple as replacing ocelot_ace_rule_create
with something smarter, it might be more complicated, I haven't tried
yet.

I should point out that the tc-matchall filter offload is not
implemented in the same manner in current mainline. Florian has already
went all the way down into exposing actual per-action callbacks,
starting with port mirroring. Because currently only mirred is supported
by this DSA mid layer, everything else will return -EOPNOTSUPP. So even
though ocelot supports matchall (aka port-based) policers, we don't have
a call path to call into them.  Personally I think that this is not
going to scale for tc-matchall (there may be policers, traps, drops,
VLAN retagging, etc etc), and that we should consider whether further
matchall filter/action combinations should be just passed on to drivers
with no interpretation instead.
As for the existing mirroring callbacks in DSA, they can either be kept
as-is, or replaced with simple accessors to TC_CLSMATCHALL_REPLACE and
TC_CLSMATCHALL_DESTROY, just like for flower, and drivers which
currently implement the port mirroring callbacks will need to have some
extra "if" conditions now, in order for them to call their port
mirroring implementations.

  net: mscc: ocelot: simplify tc-flower offload structures
  net: mscc: ocelot: replace "rule" and "ocelot_rule" variable names
    with "ace"
  net: mscc: ocelot: return directly in
    ocelot_cls_flower_{replace,destroy}
  net: mscc: ocelot: spell out full "ocelot" name instead of "oc"
  net: mscc: ocelot: don't rely on preprocessor for vcap key/action
    packing
  net: mscc: ocelot: remove port_pcs_init indirection for VSC7514
  net: mscc: ocelot: parameterize the vcap_is2 properties
  net: dsa: Add bypass operations for the flower classifier-action
    filter
  net: dsa: felix: Wire up the ocelot cls_flower methods
