This is because of the need (or desire) to always tag the CPU port regardless of the untagged VLAN that one of its downstream port is being added to. Despite talking with Matthew about this before, I had not realized that dsa_port_is_cpu() will return true for ports 4 and 5 when a VLAN is added to one of the two QCA8337 switches because from the perspective of that switch, those ports have been set as DSA_PORT_TYPE_CPU. This may also mean that b53_setup() needs fixing as well while it iterates over the ports of the switch though I am not sure how we could fix that yet. > > If I'm not mistaken, this patch should solve your problem?

It will not, the ports maintain the same roles regardless of whether there is another switch attached to them or not. For the BCM58625 switch, ports 4 and 5 are user ports with net devices that each happen to be DSA masters for 2 QCA8337 switches, and port 8 is the CPU port. When a DSA user port is a DSA master for another switch, tag stacking takes place - first the rcv() from tag_brcm.c runs, then the rcv() from tag_qca.c runs - you taught me this, in fact. My point is that the Broadcom switch should leave the packet in a state where tag_qca.c can work with it without being aware that it has been first processed by another switch. This is why I asked Matthew whether he configured any bridging between BCM58625 ports 4 and 5, and any bridge VLANs. I am not completely sure we should start modifying our DSA taggers under the assumption that VLANs might just pop up everywhere - I simply don't see a compelling use case to let that happen and justify the complexity. In this case, my suspicion is that the root of the issue is the resolution from commit d965a5432d4c ("net: dsa: b53: Ensure the default VID is untagged"). It seems like it wanted to treat VID 0 as untagged if it's the pvid, but it only treats it as untagged in one direction. For the network stack, I think there are checks scattered in __netif_receive_skb_core that make it treat a skb with VID == 0 as if it was untagged, so the fact that untagged packets are sent as egress-tagged with VID=0 by the Broadcom CPU port (8) towards the system, and received as VLAN-tagged by tag_brcm.c, is not that big of a problem. The problem only appears when there is another DSA switch downstream of it, because it shifts the expected position of the DSA tag in tag_qca.c. DSA switch drivers don't normally send all packets as egress-tagged towards the CPU. If they do, they ought to be more careful and not let VLAN tags escape their tagging driver, if there was no VLAN tag to begin with in the packet as seen on the wire. We might make a justifiable exception in the case where DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE is used, but in this case, my understanding is that BCM58625 uses DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM_PREPEND, so I'm not sure why sending packets towards the CPU with VID=0 instead of untagged makes that big of a difference. > > This may also mean that b53_setup() needs fixing as well while it > iterates over the ports of the switch though I am not sure how we could > fix that yet. > > > > > If I'm not mistaken, this patch should solve your problem? > > How about this: > > diff --git a/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > b/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > index 3ca6b394dd5f..6dfcff9018fd 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > +++ b/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > @@ -1455,6 +1455,22 @@ static int b53_vlan_prepare(struct dsa_switch > *ds, int port, > return 0; > } > > +static inline bool b53_vlan_can_untag(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port) > +{ > + /* If this switch port is a CPU port */ > + if (dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port)) { this matches only for port == 8 > + /* We permit untagging to be configured if it is the DSA > + * master of another switch (cascading). > + */ > + if (dsa_slave_dev_check(dsa_to_port(ds, port)->master)) and the master of port 8 is the "brcm,nsp-amac" controller which is not a DSA slave port > + return true; > + > + return false; so this will still return false > + } > + > + return true; > +} > + > int b53_vlan_add(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, > const struct switchdev_obj_port_vlan *vlan, > struct netlink_ext_ack *extack) > @@ -1477,7 +1493,7 @@ int b53_vlan_add(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, > untagged = true; > > vl->members |= BIT(port); > - if (untagged && !dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port)) > + if (untagged && b53_vlan_can_untag(ds, port)) > vl->untag |= BIT(port); > else > vl->untag &= ~BIT(port); > @@ -1514,7 +1530,7 @@ int b53_vlan_del(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, > if (pvid == vlan->vid) > pvid = b53_default_pvid(dev); > > - if (untagged && !dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port)) > + if (untagged && b53_vlan_can_untag(ds, port)) and VID 0 will still be sent as egress-tagged by the BCM58625 on port 8. > vl->untag &= ~(BIT(port)); > > b53_set_vlan_entry(dev, vlan->vid, vl); > -- > Florian

A side note here is that your "net: dsa: don't set skb->offload_fwd_mark when not offloading the bridge" patch is also in use. Would setting up a bridge for sw0/sw1 not have implications for receiving unknown frames on one port, that have been sent from another port of the same switch? Since unknown frames will go to the CPU, dp->bridge_dev would return the bridge name, setting offload_fwd_mark=1 thus preventing those frames being sent back out sw0/sw1 to its other ports. > > If I'm not mistaken, this patch should solve your problem? > > -----------------------------[ cut here ]----------------------------- > diff --git a/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c b/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > index 3ca6b394dd5f..d6655b516bd8 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > +++ b/drivers/net/dsa/b53/b53_common.c > @@ -1462,6 +1462,7 @@ int b53_vlan_add(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, > struct b53_device *dev = ds->priv; > bool untagged = vlan->flags & BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_UNTAGGED; > bool pvid = vlan->flags & BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_PVID; > + bool really_untagged = false; > struct b53_vlan *vl; > int err; > > @@ -1474,10 +1475,10 @@ int b53_vlan_add(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, > b53_get_vlan_entry(dev, vlan->vid, vl); > > if (vlan->vid == 0 && vlan->vid == b53_default_pvid(dev)) > - untagged = true; > + really_untagged = true; > > vl->members |= BIT(port); > - if (untagged && !dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port)) > + if (really_untagged || (untagged && !dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port))) > vl->untag |= BIT(port); > else > vl->untag &= ~BIT(port); > -----------------------------[ cut here ]----------------------------- > This does seem to sort the issue as well in this case.

What you have is called "cross-chip bridging for disjoint DSA trees" and has some level of support since this series: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/cover/20200510163743.18032-1-olteanv@gmail.com/ What you can/should do is: create a bridge between sw0 and sw1 (say br1) create another bridge between wanN and swNpM (say br0) Here's the secret: - the br1 bridge only performs hardware acceleration for forwarding between the 2 QCA switches. The Broadcom switch is still able to understand enough (aka the destination MAC) of the packets coming from the QCA switches, even if they are DSA tagged, in order to perform L2 forwarding to the other port or to the CPU port. And because br0 != br1, what you mentioned above for skb->offload_fwd_mark does not actually matter - there are only 2 ports in br1, and both are part of the same hardware domain, so the software bridge doesn't need to forward any packet. As for br0, by the time the packets from swNpM reach the software bridge, there is no longer any indication that they were originally processed by the Broadcom ports as DSA masters, so there is no problem forwarding them in software to the other Broadcom ports (not DSA masters). - the br0 bridge, in the presence of br1, doesn't have to do software forwarding of packets between the 2 QCA switches - br1 handles it. But even if br1 did not exist, it still could. How? nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress() will happily forward packets between ports with different offload_fwd_mark values. These are derived from: nbp_switchdev_mark_set -> dev_get_port_parent_id -> devlink_compat_switch_id_get -> &devlink_port->attrs.switch_id populated by &devlink_port->attrs.switch_id based on dst->index. Otherwise said, the devlink switch id is equal to the DSA switch tree index. But you already set the dsa,member properties properly (i.e. each QCA switch is in its own tree with a unique index): switch@10 { compatible = "qca,qca8337"; dsa,member = <1 0>; }; switch@10 { compatible = "qca,qca8337"; dsa,member = <2 0>; }; So there is in fact no problem. The "net: dsa: don't set skb->offload_fwd_mark when not offloading the bridge" patch was not accepted yet, am I right? https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210318231829.3892920-15-olteanv@gmail.com/ Why are you using RFC patches instead of asking for them to be submitted properly? :) Regardless of that patch being present or not (which affects a different use case which I cannot see how it relates to this), I think there is a bug: if the DSA master sets skb->offload_fwd_mark = true, and then the DSA tagger gets to process that same skb, and it wants to indicate it is a standalone / non-offloading port, currently it will simply not set skb->offload_fwd_mark = true. But not setting it to true is different than always setting skb->offload_fwd_mark to true or false - it just works because we assume that skb->offload_fwd_mark is initially false, which is obv not true if the DSA master had already set it to true. So if there is a provable bug caused by this, we might need a patch which sets skb->offload_fwd_mark = false in dsa_switch_rcv(), right before the call to cpu_dp->rcv(), in order to satisfy the taggers' expectation that we do indeed start from a blank slate.

Thanks! I'm sure Florian will explain some of the additional constraints around why we might want the Broadcom switches to send untagged packets as tagged with VID 0 towards the CPU, so the patch might suffer some changes until submitted proper. At the very least, the same configuration needs to work regardless of the value of CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q. Currently, the default VLAN configuration done by b53_configure_vlan() is overwritten by: vlan_device_event (the "adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device %s" message) -> vlan_vid_add -> ... -> dsa_slave_vlan_rx_add_vid -> dsa_port_vlan_add -> ... -> b53_vlan_add so my point is that it is not robust to only fix the case where this chain of events happens, because CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is entirely optional, and if it is not enabled, nobody will add VID 0 to the RX filter of the net devices, so the configuration of VID 0 on the Broadcom ports will be left as it is done by the switch initialization code, and that code should produce the same results.

Right, I was not thinking properly while submitting that counter proposal it does not make sense and neither did my explanation, I was just too keen on thinking that the problem would be that one of the user facing port (even if they happen to be the "CPU" port of another switch) would be adding the tag on egress when the problem is that the CPU port is egress tagged to begin with. This is not a problem for normal user ports as you say because the network stack has all smarts about dealing with that.

We only have control over the egress tagging attribute on Broadcom switches and there is no "egress unmodified" unlike Marvell switches, so we do indeed have an asymmetrical configuration in that the following happens: - user port egress untagged -> egress tagged towards CPU port - CPU port egress untagged frame -> egress untagged towards user port The CPU port, by virtue of using Broadcom tags can override any VLAN membership. > > For the network stack, I think there are checks scattered in > __netif_receive_skb_core that make it treat a skb with VID == 0 as if it > was untagged, so the fact that untagged packets are sent as egress-tagged > with VID=0 by the Broadcom CPU port (8) towards the system, and received > as VLAN-tagged by tag_brcm.c, is not that big of a problem.

I don't think there is any justification for doing what b53 does anymore. Let me sleep on it for a day and submit a patch for Matthew to try out. -- Florian

The qca_tag_rcv function unconditionally expects a QCA tag to be present between source MAC and EtherType. However if an upstream switch is used, this may create a special case where VLAN tags are subsequently inserted between the source MAC and the QCA tag. Thus when qca_tag_rcv is called, it will attempt to read the 802.1q TPID as a QCA tag. This results in complication since the TPID will pass the QCA tag version checking on bits 14 and 15, but the resulting packet after trimming the TPID will be unusable. The tested case is a Meraki MX65 which features two QCA8337 switches with their CPU ports attached to a BCM58625 switch ports 4 and 5 respectively. In this case a VLAN tag with VID 0 is added by the upstream BCM switch when the port is unconfigured and packets with this VLAN tag or without will be accepted at the BCM's CPU port. However, it is arguably possible that other switches may be configured to drop VLAN untagged traffic at their respective CPU port. Thus where packets are VLAN untagged, the default VLAN tag, added by the upstream switch, should be maintained. Where inbound packets are already VLAN tagged when arriving at the QCA switch, we should replace the default VLAN tag, added by the upstream port, with the correct VLAN tag. This patch introduces: 1 - A check for a VLAN tag before EtherType. If found, skip past this to find the QCA tag. 2 - Check for a second VLAN tag after the QCA tag if one was found in 1. If found, remove both the initial VLAN tag and the QCA tag. If not found, remove only the QCA tag to maintain the VLAN tag added by the upstream switch.
