Commit abd49535 ("net: dsa: execute dsa_switch_mdb_add only for routing port in cross-chip topologies") does a surprisingly good job even for the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB use case, where DSA simply translates a switchdev object received on dp into a cross-chip notifier for dp->cpu_dp. To visualize how that works, imagine the daisy chain topology below and consider a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB object emitted on sw2p0. How does the cross-chip notifier know to match on all the right ports (sw0p4, the dedicated CPU port, sw1p4, an upstream DSA link, and sw2p4, another upstream DSA link)? | sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw0p4 [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ cpu ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ x ] | +---------+ | sw1p0 sw1p1 sw1p2 sw1p3 sw1p4 [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ x ] | +---------+ | sw2p0 sw2p1 sw2p2 sw2p3 sw2p4 [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ user ] [ dsa ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ x ] The answer is simple: the dedicated CPU port of sw2p0 is sw0p4, and dsa_routing_port returns the upstream port for all switches. That is fine, but there are other topologies where this does not work as well. There are trees with "H" topologies in the wild, where there are 2 or more switches with DSA links between them, but every switch has its dedicated CPU port. For these topologies, it seems stupid for the neighbor switches to install an MDB entry on the routing port, since these multicast addresses are fundamentally different than the usual ones we support (and that is the justification for this patch, to introduce the concept of a termination plane multicast MAC address, as opposed to a forwarding plane multicast MAC address). For example, when a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB would get added to sw0p0, without this patch, it would get treated as a regular port MDB on sw0p2 and it would match on the ports below (including the sw1p3 routing port). | | sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw1p3 sw1p2 sw1p1 sw1p0 [ user ] [ user ] [ cpu ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ] [ cpu ] [ user ] [ user ] [ ] [ ] [ x ] [ ] ---- [ x ] [ ] [ ] [ ] With the patch, the host MDB notifier on sw0p0 matches only on the local switch, which is what we want for a termination plane address. | | sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 sw1p3 sw1p2 sw1p1 sw1p0 [ user ] [ user ] [ cpu ] [ dsa ] [ dsa ] [ cpu ] [ user ] [ user ] [ ] [ ] [ x ] [ ] ---- [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Name this new matching function "dsa_switch_host_address_match" since we will be reusing it soon for host FDB entries as well.
