<id>urn:sha1:487994ff75880569d32504d7e70da8b3328e0693</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit a18e6521a7d9 ("net: phylink: handle NA interface mode in
phylink_fwnode_phy_connect()"), phylib defaults to GMII when no phy-mode
or phy-connection-type property is specified in a DSA port node of the
device tree. The same commit caused a regression in rtl8365mb whereby
phylink would fail to connect, because the driver did not advertise
support for GMII for ports with internal PHY.

It should be noted that the aforementioned regression is not because the
blamed commit was incorrect: on the contrary, the blamed commit is
correcting the previous behaviour whereby unspecified phy-mode would
cause the internal interface mode to be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA. The
rtl8365mb driver only worked by accident before because it _did_
advertise support for PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, despite NA being reserved
for internal use by phylink. With one mistake fixed, the other was
exposed.

Commit a5dba0f207e5 ("net: dsa: rtl8365mb: add GMII as user port mode")
then introduced implicit support for GMII mode on ports with internal
PHY to allow a PHY connection for device trees where the phy-mode is not
explicitly set to "internal". At this point everything was working OK
again.

Subsequently, commit 6ff6064605e9 ("net: dsa: realtek: convert to
phylink_generic_validate()") broke this behaviour again by discarding
the usage of rtl8365mb_phy_mode_supported() - where this GMII support
was indicated - while switching to the new .phylink_get_caps API.

With the new API, rtl8365mb_phy_mode_supported() is no longer needed.
Remove it altogether and add back the GMII capability - this time to
rtl8365mb_phylink_get_caps() - so that the above default behaviour works
for ports with internal PHY again.

DSA has not supported (and probably will not support in the future
either) independent tagging protocols per CPU port.

Different switch drivers have different requirements, some may need to
replicate some settings for each CPU port, some may need to apply some
settings on a single CPU port, while some may have to configure some
global settings and then some per-CPU-port settings.

In any case, the current model where DSA calls -&gt;change_tag_protocol for
each CPU port turns out to be impractical for drivers where there are
global things to be done. For example, felix calls dsa_tag_8021q_register(),
which makes no sense per CPU port, so it suppresses the second call.

Let drivers deal with replication towards all CPU ports, and remove the
CPU port argument from the function prototype.

There is no need to add new compatible strings for each new supported
chip version. The compatible string is used only to select the subdriver
(rtl8365mb.c or rtl8366rb.c). Once in the subdriver, it will detect the
chip model by itself, ignoring which compatible string was used.

This switch is not even supported, but if someone were to actually put
this compatible string "realtek,rtl8366s" in their device tree, they
would be greeted with a kernel panic because the probe function would
dereference NULL. So let's just remove it.

The kernel test robot reported a build failure:

or1k-linux-ld: drivers/net/dsa/realtek/realtek-smi.o:(.rodata+0x16c): undefined reference to `rtl8366rb_variant'

... with the following build configuration:

CONFIG_NET_DSA_REALTEK=y
CONFIG_NET_DSA_REALTEK_SMI=y
CONFIG_NET_DSA_REALTEK_RTL8365MB=y
CONFIG_NET_DSA_REALTEK_RTL8366RB=m

The problem here is that the realtek-smi interface driver gets built-in,
while the rtl8366rb switch subdriver gets built as a module, hence the
symbol rtl8366rb_variant is not reachable when defining the OF device
table in the interface driver.

The Kconfig dependencies don't help in this scenario because they just
say that the subdriver(s) depend on at least one interface driver. In
fact, the subdrivers don't depend on the interface drivers at all, and
can even be built even in their absence. Somewhat strangely, the
interface drivers can also be built in the absence of any subdriver,
BUT, if a subdriver IS enabled, then it must be reachable according to
the linkage of the interface driver: effectively what the IS_REACHABLE()
macro achieves. If it is not reachable, the above kind of linker error
will be observed.

Rather than papering over the above build error by simply using
IS_REACHABLE(), we can do a little better and admit that it is actually
the interface drivers that have a dependency on the subdrivers. So this
patch does exactly that. Specifically, we ensure that:

1. The interface drivers' Kconfig symbols must have a value no greater
   than the value of any subdriver Kconfig symbols.

2. The subdrivers should by default enable both interface drivers, since
   most users probably want at least one of them; those interface
   drivers can be explicitly disabled however.

What this doesn't do is prevent a user from building only a subdriver,
without any interface driver. To that end, add an additional line of
help in the menu to guide users in the right direction.

drivers are using OF and will not probe without, add the corresponding
dependency to Kconfig.

As FDB isolation cannot be enforced between VLAN-aware bridges in lack
of hardware assistance like extra FID bits, it seems plausible that many
DSA switches cannot do it. Therefore, they need to reject configurations
with multiple VLAN-aware bridges from the two code paths that can
transition towards that state:

- joining a VLAN-aware bridge
- toggling VLAN awareness on an existing bridge

The .port_vlan_filtering method already propagates the netlink extack to
the driver, let's propagate it from .port_bridge_join too, to make sure
that the driver can use the same function for both.

<content type='text'>
Realtek switches in the rtl8365mb family can access the PHY registers of
the internal PHYs via the switch registers. This method is called
indirect access. At a high level, the indirect PHY register access
method involves reading and writing some special switch registers in a
particular sequence. This works for both SMI and MDIO connected
switches.

Currently the rtl8365mb driver does not take any care to serialize the
aforementioned access to the switch registers. In particular, it is
permitted for other driver code to access other switch registers while
the indirect PHY register access is ongoing. Locking is only done at the
regmap level. This, however, is a bug: concurrent register access, even
to unrelated switch registers, risks corrupting the PHY register value
read back via the indirect access method described above.

Arınç reported that the switch sometimes returns nonsense data when
reading the PHY registers. In particular, a value of 0 causes the
kernel's PHY subsystem to think that the link is down, but since most
reads return correct data, the link then flip-flops between up and down
over a period of time.

The aforementioned bug can be readily observed by:

 1. Enabling ftrace events for regmap and mdio
 2. Polling BSMR PHY register for a connected port;
    it should always read the same (e.g. 0x79ed)
 3. Wait for step 2 to give a different value

Example command for step 2:

    while true; do phytool read swp2/2/0x01; done

On my i.MX8MM, the above steps will yield a bogus value for the BSMR PHY
register within a matter of seconds. The interleaved register access it
then evident in the trace log:

The kworker here is polling MIB counters for stats, as evidenced by the
register 0x1004 that we are writing to (RTL8365MB_MIB_ADDRESS_REG). This
polling is performed every 3 seconds, but is just one example of such
unsynchronized access. In Arınç's case, the driver was not using the
switch IRQ, so the PHY subsystem was itself doing polling analogous to
phytool in the above example.

A test module was created [see second Link] to simulate such spurious
switch register accesses while performing indirect PHY register reads
and writes. Realtek was also consulted to confirm whether this is a
known issue or not. The conclusion of these lines of inquiry is as
follows:

1. Reading of PHY registers via indirect access will be aborted if,
   after executing the read operation (via a write to the
   INDIRECT_ACCESS_CTRL_REG), any register is accessed, other than
   INDIRECT_ACCESS_STATUS_REG.

2. The PHY register indirect read is only complete when
   INDIRECT_ACCESS_STATUS_REG reads zero.

3. The INDIRECT_ACCESS_DATA_REG, which is read to get the result of the
   PHY read, will contain the result of the last successful read
   operation. If there was spurious register access and the indirect
   read was aborted, then this register is not guaranteed to hold
   anything meaningful and the PHY read will silently fail.

4. PHY writes do not appear to be affected by this mechanism.

5. Other similar access routines, such as for MIB counters, although
   similar to the PHY indirect access method, are actually table access.
   Table access is not affected by spurious reads or writes of other
   registers. However, concurrent table access is not allowed. Currently
   this is protected via mib_lock, so there is nothing to fix.

The above statements are corroborated both via the test module and
through consultation with Realtek. In particular, Realtek states that
this is simply a property of the hardware design and is not a hardware
bug.

To fix this problem, one must guard against regmap access while the
PHY indirect register read is executing. Fix this by using the newly
introduced "nolock" regmap in all PHY-related functions, and by aquiring
the regmap mutex at the top level of the PHY register access callbacks.
Although no issue has been observed with PHY register _writes_, this
change also serializes the indirect access method there. This is done
purely as a matter of convenience and for reasons of symmetry.
