Message-Id: <20230518102509.20913-1-wojciech.drewek@intel.com> Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 12:24:59 +0200 From: Wojciech Drewek <wojciech.drewek@...el.com> To: intel-wired-lan@...ts.osuosl.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, alexandr.lobakin@...el.com, david.m.ertman@...el.com, michal.swiatkowski@...ux.intel.com, marcin.szycik@...ux.intel.com, pawel.chmielewski@...el.com, sridhar.samudrala@...el.com Subject: [PATCH iwl-next v2 00/10] ice: switchdev bridge offload Linux bridge provides ability to learn MAC addresses and vlans detected on bridge's ports. As a result of this, FDB (forward data base) entries are created and they can be offloaded to the HW. By adding VF's port representors to the bridge together with the uplink netdev, we can learn VF's and link partner's MAC addresses. This is achieved by slow/exception-path, where packets that do not match any filters (FDB entries in this case) are send to the bridge ports. Driver keeps track of the netdevs added to the bridge by listening for NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event. We distinguish two types of bridge ports: uplink port and VF's representor port. Linux bridge always learns src MAC of the packet on rx path. With the current slow-path implementation, it means that we will learn VF's MAC on port repr (when the VF transmits the packet) and link partner's MAC on uplink (when we receive it on uplink from LAN). The driver is notified about learning of the MAC/VLAN by SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD|DEL}_TO_DEVICE events. This is followed by creation of the HW filter. The direction of the filter is based on port type (uplink or VF repr). In case of the uplink, rule forwards the packets to the LAN (matching on link partner's MAC). When the notification is received on VF repr then the rule forwards the packets to the associated VF (matching on VF's MAC). This approach would not work on its own however. This is because if one of the directions is offloaded, then the bridge would not be able to learn the other one. If the egress rule is added (learned on uplink) then the response from the VF will be sent directly to the LAN. The packet will not got through slow-path, it would not be seen on VF's port repr. Because of that, the bridge would not learn VF's MAC. This is solved by introducing guard rule. It prevents forward rule from working until the opposite direction is offloaded. Aging is not fully supported yet, aging time is static for now. The follow up submissions will introduce counters that will allow us to keep track if the rule is actually being used or not. A few fixes/changes are needed for this feature to work with ice driver. These are introduced in first 3 patches. --- v2: two patches were droped from the series: - "ice: Remove exclusion code for RDMA+SRIOV" was sent as separate patch: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230516113055.7336-1-wojciech.drewek@intel.com/ - "ice: Ethtool fdb_cnt stats" was dropped because of the comments suggesting that ethtool is not a good option for such statistic. An alternative will be send as a separate patch.
