Commit Message

The current code in the RTL8366 VLAN handling code
initializes the default VLANs like this:

Ingress packets:

 port 0   ---> VLAN 1 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 1   ---> VLAN 2 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 2   ---> VLAN 3 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 3   ---> VLAN 4 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 4   ---> VLAN 5 ---> CPU port (5)

Egress packets:
 port 5 (CPU) ---> VLAN 6 ---> port 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

So 5 VLANs for ingress packets and one VLAN for
egress packets. Further it sets the PVID
for each port to further restrict the packets to
this VLAN only, and sets them as untagged.

This is a neat set-up in a way and a leftover
from the OpenWrt driver and the vendor code drop.

However the DSA core can be instructed to assign
all ports to a default VLAN, which will be
VLAN 1. This patch will change the above picture to
this:

Ingress packets:

 port 0   ---> VLAN 1 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 1   ---> VLAN 1 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 2   ---> VLAN 1 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 3   ---> VLAN 1 ---> CPU port (5)
 port 4   ---> VLAN 1 ---> CPU port (5)

Egress packets:
 port 5 (CPU) ---> VLAN 1 ---> port 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

So all traffic in the switch will by default pass
on VLAN 1. No PVID is set for ports by the DSA
core in this case.

This might have performance impact since the switch
hardware probably can sort packets into VLANs as
they pass through the fabric, but it is better
to fix the above set-up using generic code in that
case so that it can be reused by other switches.

The tested scenarios sure work fine with this
set-up including video streaming from a NAS device.

Does this maintain the requirement that by default, all DSA ports must
be isolated from one another? For instance, if you have broadcast
traffic on port 2, by virtue of having port 1 and port 2 now in VLAN ID
1, do you see that broadcast traffic from port 1?

If you do, then you need to find a way to maintain isolation between ports.

It looks like the FID is used for implementing VLAN filtering so maybe
you need to dedicate a FID per port number here, and add them all to VLAN 1?

Unfortunately yes :(

I test this by setting a host (169.254.1.1) to ping the router
(169.254.1.2) and if I connect a machine to one of the other
ports I can see the ARP requests on that machine
as "who-has (...) tell 169.254.1.1"

The FID exist in the source code but neither the vendor driver
not the OpenWrt driver make any use of them, their way of
separating the ports is by using one VLAN per port and setting
the PVID for each port to that VLAN, in the way described
in the commit message.

Is there an example of some driver using a FID for this?

What do you think about the option to teach the core to set
up VLANs like the driver currently does with one VLAN per
port and PVID set for each? I haven't even been able to
locate the code that associates all ports with VLAN1 but
I figured it can't be too hard? (Famous last words.)

Yours,
