From 8841f6e63f2c1cf366872304a7b6ca1900466c9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2021 22:46:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: sja1105: make devlink property best_effort_vlan_filtering true by default The sja1105 driver has a limitation, extensively described under Documentation/networking/dsa/sja1105.rst and Documentation/networking/devlink/sja1105.rst, which says that when the ports are under a bridge with vlan_filtering=1, traffic to and from the network stack is not possible, unless the driver-specific best_effort_vlan_filtering devlink parameter is enabled. For users, this creates a 'wtf' moment. They need to go to the documentation and find about the existence of this property, then maybe install devlink and set it to true. Having best_effort_vlan_filtering enabled by the kernel by default delays that 'wtf' moment (maybe up to the point that it never even happens). The user doesn't need to care that the driver supports addressing the ports individually by retagging VLAN IDs until he/she needs to use more than 32 VLAN IDs (since there can be at most 32 retagging rules). Only then do they need to think whether they need the full VLAN table, at the expense of no individual port addressing, or not. But the odds that an sja1105 user will need more than 32 VLANs terminated by the CPU is probably low. And, if we were to follow the principle that more advanced use cases should require more advanced preparation steps, then it makes more sense for ping to 'just work' while CPU termination of > 32 VLAN IDs to require a bit more forethought and possibly a driver-specific devlink param. So we should be able to safely change the default here, and make this driver act just a little bit more sanely out of the box.
