David S. Miller aaf1be31b2 Merge branch 'dsa-mv88e6xxx-802.1s-and-88E6390-VTU'
Vivien Didelot says:

====================
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: 802.1s and 88E6390 VTU

This patch series adds support for the VLAN Table Unit (a.k.a. the VTU)
to the 88E6390 family of Marvell Ethernet switch chips. The plumbing for
the per VLAN Spanning Tree support is added as a side effect of the
necessary refactoring.

The patchset is split up so that no duplication of code is introduced.
With this patchset applied, the mv88e6xxx driver has 2 new function
pointers for the VTU GetNext and VTU Load/Purge operations (with 3
implementations), both handling programmation of 802.1q and 802.1s.

On a ZII Rev C board (featuring 2 88E6390X chips) with all ports bridged
together, we obtain the following hardware VLAN configuration:

    # cat /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_filtering
    1
    # cat /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/default_pvid
    42
    # bridge vlan add dev lan3 vid 666
    # bridge vlan show
    port    vlan ids

Below are the technical details for the different implementations.

All switch families have up to 3 dedicated VTU Data registers used to
program 802.1q and 802.1s, both using 2-bit values.

On 88E6185 and 88E6352 families, port membership and state are adjacent,
while the 88E6390 family share the same bits:

    Bits        88E6185/88E6352         88E6390
    -----       -----------------       --------------------------
    0-1         Port 0 membership       Port 0 membership or state
    2-3         Port 0 state            Port 1 membership or state
    4-5         Port 1 membership       Port 2 membership or state
    6-7         Port 1 state            Port 3 membership or state
    8-9         Port 2 membership       Port 4 membership or state
    10-11       Port 2 state            Port 5 membership or state
    ...         ...                     ...

The 88E6185 family programs all ports membership and state in a single
VTU GetNext or Load/Purge operation.

The 88E6352 family introduced an indirect Spanning Tree Unit table
(a.k.a. STU) which requires additional STU GetNext and Load/Purge
operations to read and write the ports state bits.

The 88E6390 family also has an STU and requires data bits to be accessed
before and after every single VTU or STU operation.

Finally, the 88E6390 family introduced a 13th bit for the VLAN ID, which
must be taken care of regardless the VTU operating mode. This means that
iterating over the VTU now starts or ends with value 8191, not 4095.

Patch 1 adds a max_vid field to the chip info structure.
Patch 2 adds 802.1q and 802.1s data to the generic VTU entry structure.
Patches 3 to 10 move helpers to a dedicated file (later made static).
Patches 11 and 12 abstract handling of the STU behind VTU operations.
Patches 13 and 14 add the new function pointers for VTU operations.
Patches 15 and 18 polish the VTU code and add VTU support for 88E6390.

Changes in v2:
  - add Reviewed-by tags
  - fix comments in 8/18

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
