In preparation of factoring out PCI_STATUS error bit handling let drivers
use the same collection of error bits. To facilitate bisecting we do this
in a separate patch per affected driver. For the r8169 driver we have to
add PCI_STATUS_PARITY to the error bits.

Compared to other DSA switches, in the Ocelot cores, the RX filtering is
a much more important concern.
Firstly, the primary use case for Ocelot is non-DSA, so there isn't any
secondary Ethernet MAC [the DSA master's one] to implicitly drop frames
having a DMAC we are not interested in. So the switch driver itself
needs to install FDB entries towards the CPU port module (PGID_CPU) for
the MAC address of each switch port, in each VLAN installed on the port.
Every address that is not whitelisted is implicitly dropped. This is in
order to achieve a behavior similar to N standalone net devices.
Secondly, even in the secondary use case of DSA, such as illustrated by
Felix with the NPI port mode, that secondary Ethernet MAC is present,
but its RX filter is bypassed. This is because the DSA tags themselves
are placed before Ethernet, so the DMAC that the switch ports see is
not seen by the DSA master too (since it's shifter to the right).
So RX filtering is pretty important. A good RX filter won't bother the
CPU in case the switch port receives a frame that it's not interested
in, and there exists no other line of defense.
Ocelot is pretty strict when it comes to RX filtering: non-IP multicast
and broadcast traffic is allowed to go to the CPU port module, but
unknown unicast isn't. This means that traffic reception for any other
MAC addresses than the ones configured on each switch port net device
won't work. This includes use cases such as macvlan or bridging with a
non-Ocelot (so-called "foreign") interface. But this seems to be fine
for the scenarios that the Linux system embedded inside an Ocelot switch
is intended for - it is simply not interested in unknown unicast
traffic, as explained in Allan Nielsen's presentation [0].
On the other hand, the Felix DSA switch is integrated in more
general-purpose Linux systems, so it can't afford to drop that sort of
traffic in hardware, even if it will end up doing so later, in software.
Actually, unknown unicast means more for Felix than it does for Ocelot.
Felix doesn't attempt to perform the whitelisting of switch port MAC
addresses towards PGID_CPU at all, mainly because it is too complicated
to be feasible: while the MAC addresses are unique in Ocelot, by default
in DSA all ports are equal and inherited from the DSA master. This adds
into account the question of reference counting MAC addresses (delayed
ocelot_mact_forget), not to mention reference counting for the VLAN IDs
that those MAC addresses are installed in. This reference counting
should be done in the DSA core, and the fact that it wasn't needed so
far is due to the fact that the other DSA switches don't have the DSA
tag placed before Ethernet, so the DSA master is able to whitelist the
MAC addresses in hardware.
So this means that even regular traffic termination on a Felix switch
port happens through flooding (because neither Felix nor Ocelot learn
source MAC addresses from CPU-injected frames).
So far we've explained that whitelisting towards PGID_CPU:
- helps to reduce the likelihood of spamming the CPU with frames it
won't process very far anyway
- is implemented in the ocelot driver
- is sufficient for the ocelot use cases
- is not feasible in DSA
- breaks use cases in DSA, in the current status (whitelisting enabled
but no MAC address whitelisted)
So the proposed patch allows unknown unicast frames to be sent to the
CPU port module. This is done for the Felix DSA driver only, as Ocelot
seems to be happy without it.

Ocelot has the concept of a CPU port. The CPU port is represented in the
forwarding and the queueing system, but it is not a physical device. The
CPU port can either be accessed via register-based injection/extraction
(which is the case of Ocelot), via Frame-DMA (similar to the first one),
or "connected" to a physical Ethernet port (called NPI in the datasheet)
which is the case of the Felix DSA switch.
In Ocelot the CPU port is at index 11.
In Felix the CPU port is at index 6.
The CPU bit is treated special in the forwarding, as it is never cleared
from the forwarding port mask (once added to it). Other than that, it is
treated the same as a normal front port.
Both Felix and Ocelot should use the CPU port in the same way. This
means that Felix should not use the NPI port directly when forwarding to
the CPU, but instead use the CPU port.
This patch is fixing this such that Felix will use port 6 as its CPU
port, and just use the NPI port to carry the traffic.
Therefore, eliminate the "ocelot->cpu" variable which was holding the
index of the NPI port for Felix, and the index of the CPU port module
for Ocelot, so the variable was actually configuring different things
for different drivers and causing at least part of the confusion.
Also remove the "ocelot->num_cpu_ports" variable, which is the result of
another confusion. The 2 CPU ports mentioned in the datasheet are
because there are two frame extraction channels (register based or DMA
based). This is of no relevance to the driver at the moment, and
invisible to the analyzer module.

The IGR_PORT_MASK key width is different between the 11-port VSC7514 and
the 6-port VSC9959 switches. And since IGR_PORT_MASK is one of the first
fields of a VCAP key entry, it means that all further field
offset/length pairs are shifted between the 2.
The ocelot driver performs packing of VCAP half keys with the help of
some preprocessor macros:
- A set of macros for defining the HKO (Half Key Offset) and HKL (Half
Key Length) of each possible key field. The offset of each field is
defined as the sum between the offset and the sum of the previous
field.
- A set of accessors on top of vcap_key_set for shorter (aka less
typing) access to the HKO and HKL of each key field.
Since the field offsets and lengths are different between switches,
defining them through the preprocessor isn't going to fly. So introduce
a structure holding (offset, length) pairs and instantiate it in
ocelot_board.c for VSC7514. In a future patch, a similar structure will
be instantiated in felix_vsc9959.c for NXP LS1028A.
The accessors also need to go. They are based on macro name
concatenation, which is horrible to understand and follow.

The "ocelot_rule" variable name is both annoyingly long trying to
distinguish itself from struct flow_rule *rule =
flow_cls_offload_flow_rule(f), as well as actually different from the
"ace" variable name which is used all over the place in ocelot_ace.c and
is referring to the same structure.
And the "rule" variable name is, confusingly, different from f->rule,
but sometimes one has to look up to the beginning of the function to get
an understanding of what structure type is actually being handled.
So let's use the "ace" name wherever possible ("Access Control Entry").

The ocelot tc-flower offload binds a second flow block callback (apart
from the one for matchall) just because it uses a different block
private structure (ocelot_port_private for matchall, ocelot_port_block
for flower).
But ocelot_port_block just appears to be boilerplate, and doesn't help
with anything in particular at all, it's just useless glue between the
(global!) struct ocelot_acl_block *block pointer, and a per-netdevice
struct ocelot_port_private *priv.
So let's just simplify that, and make struct ocelot_port_private be the
private structure for the block offload. This makes us able to use the
same flow callback as in the case of matchall.
This also reveals that the struct ocelot_acl_block *block is used rather
strangely, as mentioned above: it is defined globally, allocated at
probe time, and freed at unbind time. So just move the structure to the
main ocelot structure, which gives further opportunity for
simplification.
Also get rid of backpointers from struct ocelot_acl_block and struct
ocelot_ace_rule back to struct ocelot, by reworking the function
prototypes, where necessary, to use a more DSA-friendly "struct ocelot
*ocelot, int port" format.
And finally, remove the debugging prints that were added during
development, since they provide no useful information at this point.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Adding ethtool stats for when XDP transmitted packets overrun the TX
queue. This is recorded separately for XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This
is an important aid for troubleshooting XDP based setups.
It is currently a known weakness and property of XDP that there isn't
any push-back or congestion feedback when transmitting frames via XDP.
It's easy to realise when redirecting from a higher speed link into a
slower speed link, or simply two ingress links into a single egress.
The situation can also happen when Ethernet flow control is active.
For testing the patch and provoking the situation to occur on my
Espressobin board, I configured the TX-queue to be smaller (434) than
RX-queue (512) and overload network with large MTU size frames (as a
larger frame takes longer to transmit).
Hopefully the upcoming XDP TX hook can be extended to provide insight
into these TX queue overflows, to allow programmable adaptation
strategies.

this driver from being probed on OcteonTx2 silicons.
