Right now, cross-tree bridging setups work somewhat by mistake. In the case of cross-tree bridging with sja1105, all switch instances need to agree upon a common VLAN ID for forwarding a packet that belongs to a certain bridging domain. With TX forwarding offload, the VLAN ID is the bridge VLAN for VLAN-aware bridging, and the tag_8021q TX forwarding offload VID (a VLAN which has non-zero VBID bits) for VLAN-unaware bridging. The VBID for VLAN-unaware bridging is derived from the dp->bridge_num value calculated by DSA independently for each switch tree. If ports from one tree join one bridge, and ports from another tree join another bridge, DSA will assign them the same bridge_num, even though the bridges are different. If cross-tree bridging is supported, this is an issue. Modify DSA to calculate the bridge_num globally across all switch trees. This has the implication for a driver that the dp->bridge_num value that DSA will assign to its ports might not be contiguous, if there are boards with multiple DSA drivers instantiated. Additionally, all bridge_num values eat up towards each switch's ds->num_fwd_offloading_bridges maximum, which is potentially unfortunate, and can be seen as a limitation introduced by this patch. However, that is the lesser evil for now. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

README
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.
