net: dsa: sja1105: Fix broken learning with vlan_filtering disabled
When put under a bridge with vlan_filtering 0, the SJA1105 ports will flood all traffic as if learning was broken. This is because learning interferes with the rx_vid's configured by dsa_8021q as unique pvid's. So learning technically still *does* work, it's just that the learnt entries never get matched due to their unique VLAN ID. The setting that saves the day is Shared VLAN Learning, which on this switch family works exactly as desired: VLAN tagging still works (untagged traffic gets the correct pvid) and FDB entries are still populated with the correct contents including VID. Also, a frame cannot violate the forwarding domain restrictions enforced by its classified VLAN. It is just that the VID is ignored when looking up the FDB for taking a forwarding decision (selecting the egress port). This patch activates SVL, and the result is that frames with a learnt DMAC are no longer flooded in the scenario described above. Now exactly *because* SVL works as desired, we have to revisit some earlier patches: - It is no longer necessary to manipulate the VID of the 'bridge fdb {add,del}' command when vlan_filtering is off. This is because now, SVL is enabled for that case, so the actual VID does not matter*. - It is still desirable to hide dsa_8021q VID's in the FDB dump callback. But right now the dump callback should no longer hide duplicates (one per each front panel port's pvid, plus one for the VLAN that the CPU port is going to tag a TX frame with), because there shouldn't be any (the switch will match a single FDB entry no matter its VID anyway). * Not really... It's no longer necessary to transform a 'bridge fdb add' into 5 fdb add operations, but the user might still add a fdb entry with any vid, and all of them would appear as duplicates in 'bridge fdb show'. So force a 'bridge fdb add' to insert the VID of 0**, so that we can prune the duplicates at insertion time. ** The VID of 0 is better than 1 because it is always guaranteed to be in the ports' hardware filter. DSA also avoids putting the VID inside the netlink response message towards the bridge driver when we return this particular VID, which makes it suitable for FDB entries learnt with vlan_filtering off.
