Currently DSA exposes the following sysfs: $ cat /sys/class/net/eno2/dsa/tagging ocelot which is a read-only device attribute, introduced in the kernel as commit 98cdb480 ("net: dsa: Expose tagging protocol to user-space"), and used by libpcap since its commit 993db3800d7d ("Add support for DSA link-layer types"). It would be nice if we could extend this device attribute by making it writable: $ echo ocelot-8021q > /sys/class/net/eno2/dsa/tagging This is useful with DSA switches that can make use of more than one tagging protocol. It may be useful in dsa_loop in the future too, to perform offline testing of various taggers, or for changing between dsa and edsa on Marvell switches, if that is desirable. In terms of implementation, drivers can support this feature by implementing .change_tag_protocol, which should always leave the switch in a consistent state: either with the new protocol if things went well, or with the old one if something failed. Teardown of the old protocol, if necessary, must be handled by the driver. Some things remain as before: - The .get_tag_protocol is currently only called at probe time, to load the initial tagging protocol driver. Nonetheless, new drivers should report the tagging protocol in current use now. - The driver should manage by itself the initial setup of tagging protocol, no later than the .setup() method, as well as destroying resources used by the last tagger in use, no earlier than the .teardown() method. For multi-switch DSA trees, error handling is a bit more complicated, since e.g. the 5th out of 7 switches may fail to change the tag protocol. When that happens, a revert to the original tag protocol is attempted, but that may fail too, leaving the tree in an inconsistent state despite each individual switch implementing .change_tag_protocol transactionally. Since the intersection between drivers that implement .change_tag_protocol and drivers that support D in DSA is currently the empty set, the possibility for this error to happen is ignored for now.
