Vladimir Oltean acc43b7bf5 net: dsa: allow masters to join a LAG
There are 2 ways in which a DSA user port may become handled by 2 CPU
ports in a LAG:

(1) its current DSA master joins a LAG

 ip link del bond0 && ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad
 ip link set eno2 master bond0

When this happens, all user ports with "eno2" as DSA master get
automatically migrated to "bond0" as DSA master.

(2) it is explicitly configured as such by the user

 # Before, the DSA master was eno3
 ip link set swp0 type dsa master bond0

The design of this configuration is that the LAG device dynamically
becomes a DSA master through dsa_master_setup() when the first physical
DSA master becomes a LAG slave, and stops being so through
dsa_master_teardown() when the last physical DSA master leaves.

A LAG interface is considered as a valid DSA master only if it contains
existing DSA masters, and no other lower interfaces. Therefore, we
mainly rely on method (1) to enter this configuration.

Each physical DSA master (LAG slave) retains its dev->dsa_ptr for when
it becomes a standalone DSA master again. But the LAG master also has a
dev->dsa_ptr, and this is actually duplicated from one of the physical
LAG slaves, and therefore needs to be balanced when LAG slaves come and
go.

To the switch driver, putting DSA masters in a LAG is seen as putting
their associated CPU ports in a LAG.

We need to prepare cross-chip host FDB notifiers for CPU ports in a LAG,
by calling the driver's ->lag_fdb_add method rather than ->port_fdb_add.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
