The major user of replayed switchdev objects is DSA, and so far it
hasn't needed information about anything other than bridge port VLANs,
so this is all that br_switchdev_vlan_replay() knows to handle.
DSA has managed to get by through replicating every VLAN addition on a
user port such that the same VLAN is also added on all DSA and CPU
ports, but there is a corner case where this does not work.
The mv88e6xxx DSA driver currently prints this error message as soon as
the first port of a switch joins a bridge:
mv88e6085 0x0000000008b96000:00: port 0 failed to add a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 to fdb: -95
where a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 is a local FDB entry corresponding to the
bridge MAC address in the default_pvid.
The -EOPNOTSUPP is returned by mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge() because it
tries to map VID 1 to a FID (the ATU is indexed by FID not VID), but
fails to do so. This is because ->port_fdb_add() is called before
->port_vlan_add() for VID 1.
The abridged timeline of the calls is:
br_add_if
-> netdev_master_upper_dev_link
-> dsa_port_bridge_join
-> switchdev_bridge_port_offload
-> br_switchdev_vlan_replay (*)
-> br_switchdev_fdb_replay
-> mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add
-> nbp_vlan_init
-> nbp_vlan_add
-> mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add
and the issue is that at the time of (*), the bridge port isn't in VID 1
(nbp_vlan_init hasn't been called), therefore br_switchdev_vlan_replay()
won't have anything to replay, therefore VID 1 won't be in the VTU by
the time mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add() is called.
This happens only when the first port of a switch joins. For further
ports, the initial mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add() is sufficient for VID 1 to
be loaded in the VTU (which is switch-wide, not per port).
The problem is somewhat unique to mv88e6xxx by chance, because most
other drivers offload an FDB entry by VID, so FDBs and VLANs can be
added asynchronously with respect to each other, but addressing the
issue at the bridge layer makes sense, since what mv88e6xxx requires
isn't absurd.
To fix this problem, we need to recognize that it isn't the VLAN group
of the port that we're interested in, but the VLAN group of the bridge
itself (so it isn't a timing issue, but rather insufficient information
being passed from switchdev to drivers).
As mentioned, currently nbp_switchdev_sync_objs() only calls
br_switchdev_vlan_replay() for VLANs corresponding to the port, but the
VLANs corresponding to the bridge itself, for local termination, also
need to be replayed. In this case, VID 1 is not (yet) present in the
port's VLAN group but is present in the bridge's VLAN group.
So to fix this bug, DSA is now obligated to explicitly handle VLANs
pointing towards the bridge in order to "close this race" (which isn't
really a race). As Tobias Waldekranz notices, this also implies that it
must explicitly handle port VLANs on foreign interfaces, something that
worked implicitly before:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220209213044.2353153-6-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/#24735260
So in the end, br_switchdev_vlan_replay() must replay all VLANs from all
VLAN groups: all the ports, and the bridge itself.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
