[RFC PATCH net-next 0/3] net: dsa: finer bridging control

[Vivien Didelot]

This patchset renames the bridging routines of the DSA layer, make the
unbridging routine return void, and rework the DSA netdev notifier handler,
similar to what the Mellanox Spectrum driver does.

Vivien Didelot (3):
  net: dsa: rename port_*_bridge routines
  net: dsa: make port_bridge_leave return void
  net: dsa: refine netdev event notifier

[RFC PATCH net-next 1/3] net: dsa: rename port_*_bridge routines

[Vivien Didelot]

Rename DSA port_join_bridge and port_leave_bridge routines to
respectively port_bridge_join and port_bridge_leave in order to respect
an implicit Port::Bridge namespace.

[RFC PATCH net-next 2/3] net: dsa: make port_bridge_leave return void

[Vivien Didelot]

netdev_upper_dev_unlink() which notifies NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER, returns
void, as well as del_nbp(). So there's no advantage to catch an eventual
error from the port_bridge_leave routine at the DSA level.

Make this routine void for the DSA layer and its existing drivers.

Why do you need this here? It seems you are always ignoring it in
dsa_slave_port_upper_event()? Probably better to introduce it when you
actually need it.

Other than that, it looks good to me.

I've prepare a real v1 without this switch case locally, I'll send it in
a few moment unless there are other comments.

Thanks Ido!

This is not an RFC, but a normal patchset. I badly reused a previous
git-format-patch command. Please let me know if I need to resend.

Thank you,

Do you think there could be some consolidation of code with Mellanox,
and other switchdev devices? Moving it into the switchdev core?

We cannot move all this code to switchdev core, because switchdev is
stateless, so there is no place to register the netdevice notifier(s).

But it might be possible to provide a generic switchdev_netdevice_event
helper, using new switchdev operations to check a port device, and
add/del upper devices. I'll think about that.

Thanks!
