net: dsa: netc: add more basic functions support
This patch expands the NETC switch driver with several foundational
features, including FDB and MDB management, STP state handling, MTU
configuration, port setup/teardown, and host flooding support.
At this stage, the driver operates only in standalone port mode.

Does the error path handle the mutex properly?
In netc_setup(), the mutex is initialized with mutex_init(&priv->fdbt_lock).
If netc_add_standalone_vlan_entry() or netc_add_standalone_fdb_bcast_entry()
fails, the error path jumps to free_ntmp_user:
drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c:netc_setup() {
...
INIT_HLIST_HEAD(&priv->fdb_list);
mutex_init(&priv->fdbt_lock);
...
err = netc_add_standalone_vlan_entry(priv);
if (err)
goto free_ntmp_user;
err = netc_add_standalone_fdb_bcast_entry(priv);
if (err)
goto free_ntmp_user;
return 0;
free_ntmp_user:
netc_free_ntmp_user(priv);
free_mdio_bus:
netc_free_mdio_bus(priv);
return err;
}
But netc_free_ntmp_user() and netc_free_mdio_bus() don't call
mutex_destroy(&priv->fdbt_lock) to clean up the mutex.
Looking at the normal teardown path in netc_teardown(), it calls
netc_destroy_all_lists() which properly handles both the FDB list and
mutex cleanup:
drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c:netc_destroy_all_lists() {
netc_destroy_fdb_list(priv);
mutex_destroy(&priv->fdbt_lock);
}
drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c:netc_teardown() {
struct netc_switch *priv = ds->priv;
netc_destroy_all_lists(priv);
netc_free_host_flood_rules(priv);
netc_free_ntmp_user(priv);
netc_free_mdio_bus(priv);
}
Should the error path in netc_setup() call netc_destroy_all_lists() before
calling netc_free_ntmp_user()?

[Simon says: I think this is a false positive and the clean-up
suggestion is not needed in tear down]
Does this properly clean up the hardware state?
netc_free_host_flood_rules() just frees the host_flood memory and sets
the pointer to NULL:
drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c:netc_free_host_flood_rules() {
struct dsa_port *dp;
dsa_switch_for_each_user_port(dp, priv->ds) {
struct netc_port *np = priv->ports[dp->index];
kfree(np->host_flood);
np->host_flood = NULL;
}
}
But it doesn't delete the hardware IPFT entry or disable the PIPFCR register.
Compare with netc_port_remove_host_flood() which performs complete cleanup:
drivers/net/dsa/netc/netc_main.c:netc_port_remove_host_flood() {
struct netc_switch *priv = np->switch_priv;
if (!np->host_flood)
return;
ntmp_ipft_delete_entry(&priv->ntmp, np->host_flood->entry_id);
kfree(np->host_flood);
np->host_flood = NULL;
np->uc = false;
np->mc = false;
/* Disable ingress port filter table lookup */
netc_port_wr(np, NETC_PIPFCR, 0);
}
In netc_teardown(), netc_free_host_flood_rules() is called before
netc_free_ntmp_user(), so the NTMP command infrastructure is still
operational at that point.
Should netc_free_host_flood_rules() call netc_port_remove_host_flood(np)
for each user port instead of directly calling kfree()?
