[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: 6141/6341 workarounds

[Luke Howard]

This patch series addresses two issues I found with the 88E6341
switch, which likely also apply to the 88E6141 (which is the same
chip without AVB/TSN support).

The first was a genuine bug, which assumed the chip did not have
a dedicated ATU FID register (it does).

The other is an issue I noticed with hash collisions in the ATU
on the 6341 when using multiple FIDs. Different algorithms could
be selected using devlink, but the FDB was not flushed which
resulted in a corrupted FDB.

Changes in v2:
- Rather than special casing ATU hash algorithm for the 6341, simply
  ensure the ATU is flushed when changing it via devlink.
- Retartget net instead of net-next, as this is a bugfix
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260703-mv88e6x41-fixes-v1-0-fbd3a1bf8965@padl.com

[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: write the ATU FID register on 88E6141/88E6341

[Luke Howard]

The driver decided whether a device has a dedicated ATU FID register
from its database count, taking the register path only when there were
more than 256 databases. The 88E6141/88E6341 have 256 databases but do
have the register, so they fell back to the legacy path and the FID
register was never written. Every FDB entry was then loaded into FID 0,
breaking VLAN aware bridging.

The number of databases does not imply whether the register is present.
Add an explicit atu_fid_reg flag, set it on every device that has the
register (all that previously matched the >256 heuristic, plus the
88E6141/88E6341), and key the register access off the flag instead of
the database count.

[PATCH net v2 2/2] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: flush the ATU when the hash algorithm changes

[Luke Howard]

Changing the ATU hash algorithm invalidates existing entries: those
loaded under the previous algorithm end up in different bins and read
back corrupted.

Flush the ATU whenever the hash algorithm is changed through devlink
and reload the default broadcast entries. Per-VLAN ATU entries and
any static addresses are not replayed, so the hash must be selected
before the FDB or MDB are configured.

Fixes: 23e8b470c778 ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Add devlink param for ATU hash algorithm.")

Moving structure members around to make it pack better should not be
mixed with a fix. Add the atu_fid_reg next to other bools. But please
move the ptp_support in another patch, sent to net-next.

The rest of the patch looks fine.

If changing the algorithm at runtime isn't handled fully and the hw
AFAIU gets out of sync (i.e. static entries get lost from hw, but
retained in the linux bridge), maybe it would make sense to reject
changing it while e.g. a bridge exist?

Feels like an easy foot-gun for hard to debug network issues.

Best regards,
Jonas

Does a bridge actually make a difference?

 * @DSA_CMD_FORWARD: This tag is used on all bulk traffic passing
 *     through the switch tree, including the flows that are directed
 *     towards the CPU. Its device/port tuple encodes the original
 *     source port on which the packet ingressed. It can also be used
 *     on transmit by the CPU to defer the forwarding decision to the
 *     hardware, based on the current config of PVT/VTU/ATU
 *     etc. Source address learning takes places if enabled on the
 *     receiving DSA/CPU port.

It seems to me, a port not in a bridge will still use the ATU. And you
can add multicast entries to the ATU without being in a bridge.

If you want to make it conditional, it probably needs to be all user
ports are admin down.
