net: dsa: tag_ocelot: set the classified VLAN during xmit



Currently, all packets injected into Ocelot switches are classified to
VLAN 0, regardless of whether they are VLAN-tagged or not. This is
because the switch only looks at the VLAN TCI from the DSA tag.

VLAN 0 is then stripped on egress due to REW_TAG_CFG_TAG_CFG. There are
2 cases really, below is the explanation for ocelot_port_set_native_vlan:

- Port is VLAN-aware, we set REW_TAG_CFG_TAG_CFG to 1 (egress-tag all
  frames except VID 0 and the native VLAN) if a native VLAN exists, or
  to 3 otherwise (tag all frames, including VID 0).

- Port is VLAN-unaware, we set REW_TAG_CFG_TAG_CFG to 0 (port tagging
  disabled, classified VLAN never appears in the packet).

One can already see an inconsistency: when a native VLAN exists, VID 0
is egress-untagged, but when it doesn't, VID 0 is egress-tagged.

So when we do this:
ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
ip link set swp0 master br0
bridge vlan del dev swp0 vid 1
bridge vlan add dev swp0 vid 1 pvid # but not untagged

and we ping through swp0, packets will look like this:

MAC > 33:33:00:00:00:02, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100): vlan 0, p 0,
	ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), vlan 1, p 0, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd),
	ICMP6, router solicitation, length 16

So VID 1 frames (sent that way by the Linux bridge) are encapsulated in
a VID 0 header - the classified VLAN of the packets as far as the hw is
concerned. To avoid that, what we really need to do is stop injecting
packets using the classified VLAN of 0.

This patch strips the VLAN header from the skb payload, if that VLAN
exists and if the port is under a VLAN-aware bridge. Then it copies that
VLAN header into the DSA injection frame header.

A positive side effect is that VCAP ES0 VLAN rewriting rules now work
for packets injected from the CPU into a port that's under a VLAN-aware
bridge, and we are able to match those packets by the VLAN ID that was
sent by the network stack, and not by VLAN ID 0.
