      Implement netlink interface to configure MRP. The implementation
will do sanity checks over the attributes and then eventually call the MRP
interface.

      bridge: mrp: Connect MRP API with the switchdev API · 9a9f26e8
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      Implement the MRP API.

In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will try to generate
the frames. In case that also the SW will fail in generating the frames then a
error is return to the userspace. The userspace is responsible to generate all
the other MRP frames regardless if the test frames are generated by HW or SW.

The forwarding/termination of MRP frames is happening in the kernel and is done
by the MRP instance. The userspace application doesn't do the forwarding.

      Implement the MRP api for switchdev.
These functions will just eventually call the switchdev functions:
switchdev_port_obj_add/del and switchdev_port_attr_set.

      switchdev: mrp: Extend switchdev API to offload MRP · c284b545
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      Extend switchdev API to add support for MRP. The HW is notified in
following cases:

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_MRP: This is used when a MRP instance is added/removed
  from the MRP ring.

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_RING_ROLE_MRP: This is used when the role of the node
  changes. The current supported roles are MRM and MRC.

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_RING_TEST_MRP: This is used when to start/stop sending
  MRP_Test frames on the mrp ring ports. This is called only on nodes that have
  the role MRM. In case this fails then the SW will generate the frames.

SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_RING_STATE_STATE: This is used when the ring changes it states
  to open or closed. This is required to notify HW because the MRP_Test frame
  contains the field MRP_InState which contains this information.

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_MRP_PORT_STATE: This is used when the port's state is
  changed. It can be in blocking/forwarding mode.

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_MRP_PORT_ROLE: This is used when port's role changes. The
  roles of the port can be primary/secondary. This is required to notify HW
  because the MRP_Test frame contains the field MRP_PortRole that contains this
  information.

      bridge: mrp: Add MRP interface. · 2f1a11ae
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      Define the MRP interface.
This interface is used by the netlink to update the MRP instances and by the MRP
to make the calls to switchdev to offload it to HW.

It defines an MRP instance 'struct br_mrp' which is a list of MRP instances.
Which will be part of the 'struct net_bridge'. Each instance has 2 ring ports,
a bridge and an ID.

In case the HW can't generate MRP Test frames then the SW will generate those.

br_mrp_add - adds a new MRP instance.

br_mrp_del - deletes an existing MRP instance. Each instance has an ID(ring_id).

br_mrp_set_port_state - changes the port state. The port can be in forwarding
  state, which means that the frames can pass through or in blocked state which
  means that the frames can't pass through except MRP frames. This will
  eventually call the switchdev API to notify the HW. This information is used
  also by the SW bridge to know how to forward frames in case the HW doesn't
  have this capability.

br_mrp_set_port_role - a port role can be primary or secondary. This
  information is required to be pushed to HW in case the HW can generate
  MRP_Test frames.  Because the MRP_Test frames contains a file with this
  information. Otherwise the HW will not be able to generate the frames
  correctly.

br_mrp_set_ring_state - a ring can be in state open or closed. State open means
  that the mrp port stopped receiving MRP_Test frames, while closed means that
  the mrp port received MRP_Test frames. Similar with br_mrp_port_role, this
  information is pushed in HW because the MRP_Test frames contain this
  information.

br_mrp_set_ring_role - a ring can have the following roles MRM or MRC. For the
  role MRM it is expected that the HW can terminate the MRP frames, notify the
  SW that it stopped receiving MRP_Test frames and trapp all the other MRP
  frames.  While for MRC mode it is expected that the HW can forward the MRP
  frames only between the MRP ports and copy MRP_Topology frames to CPU. In
  case the HW doesn't support a role it needs to return an error code different
  than -EOPNOTSUPP.

br_mrp_start_test - this starts/stops the generation of MRP_Test frames. To stop
  the generation of frames the interval needs to have a value of 0. In this case
  the userspace needs to know if the HW supports this or not. Not to have
  duplicate frames(generated by HW and SW). Because if the HW supports this then
  the SW will not generate anymore frames and will expect that the HW will
  notify when it stopped receiving MRP frames using the function
  br_mrp_port_open.

br_mrp_port_open - this function is used by drivers to notify the userspace via
  a netlink callback that one of the ports stopped receiving MRP_Test frames.
  This function is called only when the node has the role MRM. It is not
  supposed to be called from userspace.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_add - this corresponds to the function br_mrp_add,
  and will notify the HW that a MRP instance is added. The function gets
  as parameter the MRP instance.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_del - this corresponds to the function br_mrp_del,
  and will notify the HW that a MRP instance is removed. The function
  gets as parameter the ID of the MRP instance that is removed.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_state - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_port_state. It would notify the HW if it should block or not
  non-MRP frames.

br_mrp_port_switchdev_set_port - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_port_role. It would set the port role, primary or secondary.

br_mrp_switchdev_set_role - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_ring_role and would set one of the role MRM or MRC.

br_mrp_switchdev_set_ring_state - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_set_ring_state and would set the ring to be open or closed.

br_mrp_switchdev_send_ring_test - this corresponds to the function
  br_mrp_start_test. This will notify the HW to start or stop generating
  MRP_Test frames. Value 0 for the interval parameter means to stop generating
  the frames.

br_mrp_port_open - this function is used to notify the userspace that the port
  lost the continuity of MRP Test frames.

      net: bridge: Add port attribute IFLA_BRPORT_MRP_RING_OPEN · 3e54442c
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      This patch adds a new port attribute, IFLA_BRPORT_MRP_RING_OPEN, which allows
to notify the userspace when the port lost the continuite of MRP frames.

This attribute is set by kernel whenever the SW or HW detects that the ring is
being open or closed.

      bridge: mrp: Extend bridge interface · 4b8d7d4c
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      To integrate MRP into the bridge, first the bridge needs to be aware of ports
that are part of an MRP ring and which rings are on the bridge.
Therefore extend bridge interface with the following:
- add new flag(BR_MPP_AWARE) to the net bridge ports, this bit will be
  set when the port is added to an MRP instance. In this way it knows if
  the frame was received on MRP ring port
- add new flag(BR_MRP_LOST_CONT) to the net bridge ports, this bit will be set
  when the port lost the continuity of MRP Test frames.
- add a list of MRP instances

      bridge: uapi: mrp: Add mrp attributes. · 4714d137
      Horatiu Vultur authored 
      Add new nested netlink attribute to configure the MRP. These attributes are used
by the userspace to add/delete/configure MRP instances and by the kernel to
notify the userspace when the MRP ring gets open/closed. MRP nested attribute
has the following attributes:

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_INSTANCE - the parameter type is br_mrp_instance which contains
  the instance id, and the ifindex of the two ports. The ports can't be part of
  multiple instances. This is used to create/delete MRP instances.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_STATE - the parameter type is u32. Which can be forwarding,
  blocking or disabled.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_port_role which
  contains the instance id and the role. The role can be primary or secondary.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_STATE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_state which
  contains the instance id and the state. The state can be open or closed.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_role which
  contains the instance id and the ring role. The role can be MRM or MRC.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST - the parameter type is br_mrp_start_test which
  contains the instance id, the interval at which to send the MRP_Test frames,
  how many test frames can be missed before declaring the ring open and the
  period which represent for how long to send the test frames.

Also add the file include/uapi/linux/mrp_bridge.h which defines all the types
used by MRP that are also needed by the userpace.
