net: switchdev: fix FDB entries towards foreign ports not getting pro…
…pagated to us The newly introduced switchdev_handle_fdb_{add,del}_to_device helpers solved a problem but introduced another one. They have a severe design bug: they do not propagate FDB events on foreign interfaces to us, i.e. this use case: br0 / \ / \ / \ / \ swp0 eno0 (switchdev) (foreign) when an address is learned on eno0, what is supposed to happen is that this event should also be propagated towards swp0. Somehow I managed to convince myself that this did work correctly, but obviously it does not. The trouble with foreign interfaces is that we must reach a switchdev net_device pointer through a foreign net_device that has no direct upper/lower relationship with it. So we need to do exploratory searching through the lower interfaces of the foreign net_device's bridge upper (to reach swp0 from eno0, we must check its upper, br0, for lower interfaces that pass the check_cb and foreign_dev_check_cb). This is something that the previous code did not do, it just assumed that "dev" will become a switchdev interface at some point, somehow, probably by magic. With this patch, assisted address learning on the CPU port works again in DSA: ip link add br0 type bridge ip link set swp0 master br0 ip link set eno0 master br0 ip link set br0 up [ 46.708929] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp0: Adding FDB entry towards eno0, addr 00:04:9f:05:f4:ab vid 0 as host address Fixes: 8ca0717 ("net: switchdev: introduce a fanout helper for SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD,DEL}_TO_DEVICE") Reported-by: Eric Woudstra <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
