When a bridge FDB entry roams between ports, br_fdb_update() notifies
switchdev of the deletion and the addition without a lock. With two
CPUs learning one address on different ports, DSA counts the host
address on its CPU port more or fewer times than the bridge has it,
which ends in "failed to delete ... from fdb: -2" or an address left on
the CPU port.
The earlier attempt took hash_lock in br_fdb_update(); Nikolay rejected
it because it slows down learning and roaming. This series leaves
br_fdb_update() and the rest of the bridge's learning path unchanged
and fixes DSA instead: each user port records the host addresses it
holds and, on every event, checks where the bridge has the entry now.
Patch 1 is the only bridge change: an RCU lookup that DSA calls from
its workqueue. Patch 2 replaces the counting.
The counting has been exposed to the race since commit 90dc8fd36078
("net: bridge: notify switchdev of disappearance of old FDB entry upon
migration"). The change redesigns how DSA tracks host addresses, so it
goes to net-next without a Fixes: tag.
Tested in QEMU with dsa_loop given FDB operations and assisted
learning, PROVE_LOCKING, PROVE_RCU and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled, one
source address sent from two veth ports on two CPUs for 5 s, 5 boots
per kernel: net-next logs the -2 error and leaves the address on the
CPU port in 4 of 5 boots, this series in none, and it removes the
address when the user ports leave the bridge. A "bridge fdb replace" of
the address onto a user port leaves it on the CPU port in 5 of 5 boots
on net-next and removes it in 5 of 5 with this series. In a second
test the N-th allocation of "ip link set lan1 master br0" fails for
N = 1 to 150 while the bridge has 40 FDB entries to replay: v1 oopses
in dsa_user_switchdev_event_work() in 2 of 2 boots, this version in
none of 5 boots, and no address stays on the CPU port. The kernel log
of every boot has no lockdep, RCU or atomic sleep reports.
Changes in v2 (Sashiko's review of v1):
- An addition on a user port releases the address on every user port
of the bridge, also of another tree, and before the entry is
installed: the release no longer walks one tree, and no longer erases
the entry on switches that keep one entry per address.
- Local entries use the same lookup, so a "bridge fdb replace" between
a local and a foreign entry leaves no address behind.
- The lookup applies assisted_learning_on_cpu_port, and reports whether
the entry was added by the user.
- The release is scheduled before the lag_fdb_add check, and only for
ports that hold an address for a foreign entry when a learned entry
moved.
- An entry is not reported as offloaded when its host address could
not be added; the conduit's unicast reference is undone when the
switch add fails, and a failed delete drops its record instead of
repeating the conduit delete.
- Queued events no longer dereference dp->bridge after a failed join:
they read it once and drop themselves, the FDB helpers take the
bridge from the caller, and dp->bridge is accessed with
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().
- Patch 1: kernel-doc and message state what the lookup returns for
local, locked, "master dynamic" and driver-learned entries, and name
the DSA caller.
Changes since the hash_lock patch:
- Leave br_fdb_update() unchanged (Nikolay).
- Sashiko's finding on that patch, a deletion that races the locked
roam, has no counterpart here: DSA looks the entry up when it handles
each event and treats a deleted entry as gone.
- Of the three findings it lists as pre-existing, the MAB and
BR_FDB_LOCAL ones are in the bridge, which this series does not
change; the peer-site one, a "bridge fdb replace" onto a DSA user port
that notifies no deletion, is handled in patch 2.

Add an RCU lookup that returns the device br_switchdev_fdb_notify()
reports an FDB entry on: its port, or the bridge for a local entry. It
does not find the entries whose addition the bridge does not notify to
switchdev: locked entries, entries the user added as "master dynamic",
and entries a switchdev driver learned.
A switchdev driver that handles FDB events from a workqueue cannot take
RTNL for br_fdb_find_port(), and has to look up where the bridge has an
entry when it handles an event. The next patch uses the helper for this
in DSA. The filter of br_switchdev_fdb_notify() moves into a helper that
both use, with no functional change; the learning path does not change.

Changes in v2:
- Kernel-doc and message state what the lookup returns: the bridge for
a local entry, the port otherwise, nothing for locked, "master
dynamic" and driver-learned entries.
- Report whether the entry was added by the user.
- The message names the DSA caller.

A bridge FDB entry on a foreign port is a host address on every user
port in the bridge. When the entry roams, br_fdb_update() notifies the
deletion from the old port and the addition on the new one without a
lock. With two CPUs receiving the address on different ports, DSA can
get two deletions for one addition, an addition for a port the entry
already left, or the deletion before the addition. Counting these
events either makes a deletion find no reference left on the CPU port,
or leaks a reference, which keeps the address on the CPU port after the
entry moved to a user port or was deleted. The first ends in this
error, here from dsa_loop:
port 1 failed to delete 02:5a:0b:a2:1a:46 vid 0 from fdb: -2
Instead of counting, each user port records the host addresses it
holds. On every event it holds the address while the bridge has the
entry on a foreign port and notifies switchdev of it (a learned entry
only with assisted learning), or has it as a local entry, and releases
it otherwise. A deletion that still finds the entry on its own port was
sent before the bridge changed the port, so the address is released.
Replayed deletions release it without the lookup.
An entry on a user port, also one of another tree, is
notified only to that port. An addition there releases the address on
every user port of the bridge that holds it, from the lower devices of
the bridge, and before the entry is installed: some switches keep one
entry per address, which a later release would erase. This also covers a
"bridge fdb replace" onto a user port, which notifies no deletion. A
failed host address add does not report the entry as offloaded and
undoes its unicast filter reference on the conduit; a failed delete
drops the record, so the conduit reference is not released twice.
FDB events can still be queued when a port leaves the bridge or fails to
join it. The events read dp->bridge once and are dropped when it is
gone, the FDB helpers take the bridge from the caller, and
dsa_port_bridge_destroy() clears dp->bridge before it flushes the
workqueue and releases the records, so the bridge is not freed under a
running event.
In QEMU, with dsa_loop given FDB operations and assisted learning, two
veth ports in its bridge and one source address sent from both on two
CPUs for 5 s, the deletion fails and the address stays on the CPU port
after both veth ports go down in 4 of 5 boots. With this change neither
happens in 5 of 5 boots, and the address is removed when the user ports
leave the bridge. A "bridge fdb replace" of the address onto a user port
leaves it on the CPU port in 5 of 5 boots without this change and
removes it in 5 of 5 with it. Replacing the entry with a local one and
back leaves no address behind. With 40 static entries to replay and the
N-th allocation of "ip link set lan1 master br0" failing for N = 1 to
150, the bridge join fails 73 to 77 times per boot; the previous version
oopses in dsa_user_switchdev_event_work() in 2 of 2 boots, this one
does not in 5 of 5 boots and leaves no address on the CPU port.

Changes in v2:
- Release the address on every user port of the bridge, also of another
tree, before the entry is installed.
- Hold addresses of local entries through the same lookup.
- Apply assisted_learning_on_cpu_port; schedule the release before the
lag_fdb_add check and only for ports that hold a foreign address.
- No offloaded notification for a failed add; undo the conduit
reference when the switch add fails; drop the record on a failed
delete.
- Drop events that find no bridge after a failed join; pass the bridge
to the FDB helpers; READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on dp->bridge.
