net: dsa: make assisted_learning_on_cpu_port bypass offloaded LAG interfaces
Given the following topology, and focusing only on Box A: Box A +----------------------------------+ | Board 1 br0 | | +---------+ | | / \ | | | | | | | bond0 | | | +-----+ | |192.168.1.1 | / \ | | eno0 swp0 swp1 swp2 | +---|--------|-------|-------|-----+ | | | | +--------+ | | Cable | | Cable| |Cable Cable | | +--------+ | | | | | | +---|--------|-------|-------|-----+ | eno0 swp0 swp1 swp2 | |192.168.1.2 | \ / | | | +-----+ | | | bond0 | | | | | | \ / | | +---------+ | | Board 2 br0 | +----------------------------------+ Box B The assisted_learning_on_cpu_port logic will see that swp0 is bridged with a "foreign interface" (bond0) and will therefore install all addresses learnt by the software bridge towards bond0 (including the address of eno0 on Box B) as static addresses towards the CPU port. But that's not what we want - bond0 is not really a "foreign interface" but one we can offload including L2 forwarding from/towards it. So we need to refine our logic for assisted learning such that, whenever we see an address learnt on a non-DSA interface, we search through the tree for any port that offloads that non-DSA interface. Some confusion might arise as to why we search through the whole tree instead of just the local switch returned by dsa_slave_dev_lower_find. Or a different angle of the same confusion: why does dsa_slave_dev_lower_find(br_dev) return a single dp that's under br_dev instead of the whole list of bridged DSA ports? To answer the second question, it should be enough to install the static FDB entry on the CPU port of a single switch in the tree, because dsa_port_fdb_add uses DSA_NOTIFIER_FDB_ADD which ensures that all other switches in the tree get notified of that address, and add the entry themselves using dsa_towards_port(). This should help understand the answer to the first question: the port returned by dsa_slave_dev_lower_find may not be on the same switch as the ports that offload the LAG. Nonetheless, if the driver implements .crosschip_lag_join and .crosschip_bridge_join as mv88e6xxx does, there still isn't any reason for trapping addresses learnt on the remote LAG towards the CPU, and we should prevent that.
