CPSW switchdev based driver which is operating in dual-emac mode by
default, thus working as 2 individual network interfaces. The Switch mode
can be enabled by configuring devlink driver parameter "switch_mode" to 1:
devlink dev param set platform/48484000.switch \
name switch_mode value 1 cmode runtime
This can be done regardless of the state of Port's netdevs - UP/DOWN, but
Port's netdev devices have to be UP before joining the bridge to avoid
overwriting of bridge configuration as CPSW switch driver completely
reloads its configuration when first Port changes its state to UP.
When the both interfaces joined the bridge - CPSW switch driver will start
marking packets with offload_fwd_mark flag unless "ale_bypass=0".
All configuration is implemented via switchdev API and notifiers.
Supported:
- SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS
- SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS: BR_MCAST_FLOOD
- SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_STP_STATE
- SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN
- SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_MDB
- SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB
Hence CPSW switchdev driver supports:
- FDB offloading
- MDB offloading
- VLAN filtering and offloading
- STP
