[PATCH net 0/2] MRP without hardware offload?

From: Rasmus Villemoes

Hi Horatiu and net folks

I'm having quite some trouble getting MRP working in a simple setup
involving three mv88e6250 switches in a ring, with one node set as
manager and the other two as clients.

I'm reasonably confident these two patches are necessary and correct
(though the second one affects quite a bit more than MRP, so comments
welcome), but they are not sufficient - for example, I'm wondering
about why there doesn't seem to be any code guarding against sending a
test packet back out the port it came in.

I have tried applying a few more patches, but since the end result
still doesn't seem to result in a working MRP setup, I'm a bit out of
ideas, and not proposing any of those yet.

Has anyone managed to set up an MRP ring with no hardware offload
support? I'm using commit 9030e898a2f232fdb4a3b2ec5e91fa483e31eeaf
from https://github.com/microchip-ung/mrp.git and kernel v5.10.2.
