--- Patch [6]: [PATCH net-next v11 6/9] net: dsa: lan9645x: add vlan support ---
commit 48ea20348797be1134c296e1f56d305fbc50bbe3
Author: Jens Emil Schulz Østergaard <jensemil.schulzostergaard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

net: dsa: lan9645x: add vlan support

This adds a new lan9645x_vlan.c implementing port_vlan_filtering,
port_vlan_add and port_vlan_del, backed by a software shadow of the
hardware VLAN table in lan9645x->vlans[]. VID 4095 is reserved as the
port VLAN of standalone ports and VID 0 is used for VLAN-unaware bridge
ports.

Should this three-register indirect transaction be serialized by a lock?

The MAC table engine in this driver is protected by mact_lock:

struct mutex mact_lock; /* serialize mac table register access */

but the VLAN table access engine has no equivalent, and there is no
lockdep_assert_held() here.

lan9645x_vlan_set_hostmode() is now called from .port_setup:

lan9645x_port_setup()
if (p->chip_port != lan9645x->npi)
lan9645x_vlan_set_hostmode(p)
lan9645x_vlan_hw_wr(p->lan9645x, HOST_PVID)

and .port_setup runs from the DSA probe path without rtnl_lock and
without fwd_domain_lock:

net/dsa/devlink.c:dsa_port_devlink_setup() {
if (ds->ops->port_setup) {
err = ds->ops->port_setup(ds, dp->index);
...
}

dsa_port_devlink_setup() runs at the start of dsa_port_setup(), before
dsa_user_create() registers this port's netdev, while the netdevs of the
ports already processed are live. So while swp1..swpN are still going
through lan9645x_port_setup(), userspace can enslave swp0:

CPU0 (probe, no locks held) CPU1 (rtnl, bridge join / vlan add)
lan9645x_vlan_set_hostmode() lan9645x_port_vlan_add()
lan9645x_vlan_hw_wr(.., 4095) lan9645x_vlan_port_add_vlan()
lan9645x_vlan_hw_wr(.., 100)

Can the two transactions interleave like this?

CPU1: lan_wr(V_INDEX=100, ANA_VLANTIDX)
CPU0: lan_wr(V_INDEX=4095, ANA_VLANTIDX)
CPU0: lan_wr(mask(4095), ANA_VLAN_PORT_MASK)
CPU0: lan_wr(CMD_WRITE, ANA_VLANACCESS)
CPU1: lan_wr(mask(100), ANA_VLAN_PORT_MASK)
CPU1: lan_wr(CMD_WRITE, ANA_VLANACCESS)

That would commit mask(100) into the HOST_PVID (4095) entry and leave
vid 100 without a member mask, i.e. either standalone ports lose their
isolation domain or the new VLAN blackholes traffic.

There is also the shadow update itself. lan9645x_vlan_set_hostmode() and
lan9645x_vlan_clear_hostmode() both do a non-atomic read-modify-write of
the same u32 bitfield word:

p->lan9645x->vlans[HOST_PVID].portmask |= BIT(p->chip_port);
...
p->lan9645x->vlans[HOST_PVID].portmask &= ~BIT(p->chip_port);

portmask:10 shares the word with untagged:9 and the flag bits, and
lan9645x_port_bridge_join() calls lan9645x_vlan_clear_hostmode() under
fwd_domain_lock while lan9645x_port_setup() calls
lan9645x_vlan_set_hostmode() with no lock at all, so the lock sets do not
intersect. Can one of these updates be lost?

This isn't a bug, but could the commit message mention this restriction?

The commit message says only "Add VLAN support for VLAN-aware and
VLAN-unaware bridges", while this rejects an otherwise legal bridge
configuration: a second

bridge vlan add dev swpN vid B untagged

fails with -EBUSY once the port already has one untagged VLAN plus at
least one tagged VLAN.

The changelog also notes an expected selftest failure with respect to
ctag/stag conformance, but that text is below the --- line and is dropped
when the patch is applied, so nothing about either limitation survives in
the tree.
