v2 cover switchdev: push bridge attributes down

From: Scott Feldman <[email protected]>

Push bridge-level attributes down to switchdev drivers. This patchset adds the infrastructure and then pushes, as an example, ageing_time attribute down from bridge to switchdev (rocker) driver. Add some range-checking for ageing_time.

# ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 1000
# ip link set dev br0 type bridge ageing_time 999
RTNETLINK answers: Numerical result out of range

Up until now, switchdev attrs where port-level attrs, so the netdev used in switchdev_attr_set() would be a switch port or bond of switch ports. With bridge-level attrs, the netdev passed to switchdev_attr_set() is the bridge netdev. The same recusive algo is used to visit the leaves of the stacked drivers to set the attr, it's just in this case we start one layer higher in the stack. One note is not all ports in the bridge may support setting a bridge-level attribute, so rather than failing the entire set, we'll skip over those ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP.

v1->v2: rebase w/ net-next

Scott Feldman (4):
switchdev: add bridge attributes
switchdev: skip over ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP when recursing ports
bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev
rocker: handle setting bridge ageing_time

PATCH v2 1/4 switchdev: add bridge attributes

From: Scott Feldman <[email protected]>

Setting the stage to push bridge-level attributes down to port driver so hardware can be programmed accordingly. Bridge-level attribute example is ageing_time. This is a per-bridge attribute, not a per-bridge-port attr.

It also aligns with bridge code nicely, I believe.

I would add that pushing bridge-specific aspects down to the drivers does not really make sense since such notion does not exist for them. A Linux-bridge is just an untagged-VLAN for the switch chip point-of-view.

PATCH v2 2/4 switchdev: skip over ports returning -EOPNOTSUPP when recursing ports

In reply to [email protected]

From: Scott Feldman <[email protected]>

This allows us to recurse over all the ports, skipping over unsupporting ports. Without the change, the recursion would stop at first unsupported port.

PATCH v2 3/4 bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev

In reply to [email protected]

From: Scott Feldman <[email protected]>

Use SWITCHDEV_F_SKIP_EOPNOTSUPP to skip over ports in bridge that don't support setting ageing_time (or setting bridge attrs in general).

If push fails, don't update ageing_time in bridge and return err to user.

If push succeeds, update ageing_time in bridge and run gc_timer now to recalabrate when to run gc_timer next, based on new ageing_time.
