net: dsa: felix: avoid early deletion of host FDB entries
The Felix driver declares FDB isolation but puts all standalone ports in VID 0. This is mostly problem-free as discussed with Alvin here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220302191417.1288145-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/#24763870 however there is one catch. DSA still thinks that FDB entries are installed on the CPU port as many times as there are user ports, and this is problematic when multiple user ports share the same MAC address. Consider the default case where all user ports inherit their MAC address from the DSA master, and then the user runs: ip link set swp0 address 00:01:02:03:04:05 The above will make dsa_slave_set_mac_address() call dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_add() for 00:01:02:03:04:05 in port 0's standalone database, and dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_del() for the old address of swp0, again in swp0's standalone database. Both the ->port_fdb_add() and ->port_fdb_del() will be propagated down to the felix driver, which will end up deleting the old MAC address from the CPU port. But this is still in use by other user ports, so we end up breaking unicast termination for them. There isn't a problem in the fact that DSA keeps track of host standalone addresses in the individual database of each user port: some drivers like sja1105 need this. There also isn't a problem in the fact that some drivers choose the same VID/FID for all standalone ports. It is just that the deletion of these host addresses must be delayed until they are known to not be in use any longer, and only the driver has this knowledge. Since DSA keeps these addresses in &cpu_dp->fdbs and &cpu_db->mdbs, it is just a matter of walking over those lists and see whether the same MAC address is present on the CPU port in the port db of another user port. I have considered reusing the generic dsa_port_walk_fdbs() and dsa_port_walk_mdbs() schemes for this, but locking makes it difficult. In the ->port_fdb_add() method and co, &dp->addr_lists_lock is held, but dsa_port_walk_fdbs() also acquires that lock. Also, even assuming that we introduce an unlocked variant of the address iterator, we'd still need some relatively complex data structures, and a void *ctx in the dsa_fdb_walk_cb_t which we don't currently pass, such that drivers are able to figure out, after iterating, whether the same MAC address is or isn't present in the port db of another port. All the above, plus the fact that I expect other drivers to follow the same model as felix where all standalone ports use the same FID, made me conclude that a generic method provided by DSA is necessary: dsa_fdb_present_in_other_db() and the mdb equivalent. Felix calls this from the ->port_fdb_del() handler for the CPU port, when the database was classified to either a port db, or a LAG db. For symmetry, we also call this from ->port_fdb_add(), because if the address was installed once, then installing it a second time serves no purpose: it's already in hardware in VID 0 and it affects all standalone ports. This change moves dsa_db_equal() from switch.c to dsa.c, since it now has one more caller.
