[PATCH 2/6] bridge: Offload mrouter port forwarding to switchdev
From: Joseph Huang
Date: Tue May 04 2021 - 15:03:25 EST
Offload the mrouter port forwarding to switchdev also.
Currently multicast snooping fails to forward traffic in some cases
where there're multiple hardware-offloading bridges involved.
Consider the following scenario:
+--------------------+
| |
| Snooping +--| +------------+
| Bridge 1 |P1|----| Listener 1 |
| (Querier) +--| +------------+
| |
+--------------------+
|
|
+--------------------+
| | mrouter | |
+-----------+ | +---------+ +--| +------------+
| MC Source |----| Snooping |P2|----| Listener 2 |
+-----------| | Bridge 2 +--| +------------+
| (Non-Querier) |
+--------------------+
In this scenario, Listener 2 is able to receive multicast traffic
from MC Source while Listener 1 is not. The reason is that, on
Snooping Bridge 2, when the (soft) bridge attempts to forward
a packet to the mrouter port via br_multicast_flood, the effort
is blocked by nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress, since offload_fwd_mark
indicates that the packet should have been handled by the hardware
already. Listener 2 would receive the packets without any problem
since P2 is programmed into the hardware as a member of the group;
however the mrouter port would not since the mrouter port would
normally not be a member of any group, and thus will not be added
to the address database on the hardware switch chip.
This patch takes a simplistic approach: when an mrouter port is added/
deleted, it's added/deleted to all mdb groups; and similarly, when
an mdb group is added/deleted, all mrouter ports are added/deleted
to/from it.
Before this patch, switchdev programming matches exactly with mdb:
+-----+
| mdb |
+-----+
|
+----------------------------------------------+
| | +--------------------------------+ |
| | | both in mdb and switchdev | |
| | | +------+ +------+ +------+ | |
| +--------|-| port |---| port |---| port | | |
| | +------+ +------+ +------+ | |
| switchdev +--------------------------------+ |
+----------------------------------------------+
After this patch, some entries will only exist in switchdev and not
in mdb:
+-----+
| mdb |
+-----+
|
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | +--------------------------------++---------------------+ |
| | | both in mdb and switchdev || only in switchdev | |
| | | +------+ +------+ +------+ || +------+ +------+ | |
| +--------|-| port |---| port |---| port | || | mr |---| mr | | |
| | +------+ +------+ +------+ || +------+ +------+ | |
| switchdev +--------------------------------++---------------------+ |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
