Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add MQPRIO/CBS offload
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 10:42:46 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1779841530.git.lukeh@padl.com> (raw)

This series adds hardware offload of 802.1Qav (Credit Based Shaper) for
conforming Marvell switches. It also introduces a new bridge MDB flag,
MDB_FLAGS_STREAM_RESERVED, that userspace can set on RTM_NEWMDB to mark a
multicast destination as belonging to a reserved stream; the flag is
propagated through switchdev to hardware drivers that can enforce
admission of AVB / SR priority traffic only to flagged destinations.

The patches were originally proposed as an RFC in September 2025 [1], but have
been updated to absorb most of Cedric Jehasse's recent CBS changes [2] (with
the exception of support for more than two shaped queues). The principal
application is hardware-offloaded switching of AVB/TSN traffic rather than
host-initiated traffic.

In addition to programming the per-queue shaper, the following related
registers are configured:

* global isochronous queue pointer threshold
* strict-priority queue scheduling while CBS is active on a port
* in Enhanced/Secure AVB mode, hardware drops frames with AVB priorities
  whose destination MAC has not been added to the MDB with the new
  MDB_FLAGS_STREAM_RESERVED flag

A more detailed overview is given in drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/avb.h.

Support for MDB_FLAGS_STREAM_RESERVED in the software bridge will be submitted
as a separate patch series.
