  • Change the kconfig types to tristate and adjust the condition for
    declaring net_device::dsa_ptr to allow for this.

    Adjust the makefile so that if NET_DSA_MV88E6123_61_65=y and
    NET_DSA_MV88E6131=m or vice versa then both drivers are built-in. We
    could leave these options as bool and make NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX a
    user-selected option, but that would break existing configurations.

  • Several gigabit network drivers (SB1250_MAC, TIGON3, FSL, GIANFAR,
    UCC_GETH, MV643XX_ETH, XILINX_LL_TEMAC, S6GMAC, STMMAC_ETH, PASEMI_MAC,
    and OCTEON_ETHERNET) select PHYLIB. These drivers are not under
    NET_ETHERNET (10/100 mbit), so this warning is generated (long, irrelevant
    parts are omitted):

    warning: (NET_DSA && NET && EXPERIMENTAL && NET_ETHERNET && !S390 || ... || SB1250_MAC && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC || TIGON3 && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && PCI || FSL_PQ_MDIO && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && FSL_SOC || GIANFAR && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && FSL_SOC || UCC_GETH && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && QUICC_ENGINE || MV643XX_ETH && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && (MV64X60 || PPC32 || PLAT_ORION) || XILINX_LL_TEMAC && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && (PPC || MICROBLAZE) || S6GMAC && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_1000 && XTENSA_VARIANT_S6000 || STMMAC_ETH && NETDEV_1000 && NETDEVICES && CPU_SUBTYPE_ST40 || PASEMI_MAC && NETDEVICES && NETDEV_10000 && PPC_PASEMI && PCI || OCTEON_ETHERNET && STAGING && !STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD && CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON) selects PHYLIB which has unmet direct dependencies (!S390 && NET_ETHERNET)

    PHYLIB is used by non-10/100 mbit ethernet drivers, so change the dependencies
    to be NETDEVICES instead of NET_ETHERNET.

  • git commit 45cec1bac0719c904bb5f4405c2937f7e715888c
    "dsa: Need to select PHYLIB." causes this build bug on s390:

    drivers/built-in.o: In function `phy_stop_interrupts':
    /home/heicarst/linux-2.6/drivers/net/phy/phy.c:631: undefined reference to `free_irq'

    PHYLIB has alread a depend on !S390, however select PHYLIB at DSA overrides
    that unfortunately. So add a depend on !S390 to DSA as well.

  • Add support for the Marvell 88E6060 switch chip. This chip only
    supports the Header and Trailer tagging formats, and we use it in
    Trailer mode since that mode is slightly easier to handle than
    Header mode.

  • This adds support for the Trailer switch tagging format. This is
    another tagging that doesn't explicitly mark tagged packets with a
    distinct ethertype, so that we need to add a similar hack in the
    receive path as for the Original DSA tagging format.

  • Add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chip. This chip only
    supports the original (ethertype-less) DSA tagging format.

    On the 88E6131, there is a PHY Polling Unit (PPU) which has exclusive
    access to each of the PHYs's MII management registers. If we want to
    talk to the PHYs from software, we have to disable the PPU and wait
    for it to complete its current transaction before we can do so, and we
    need to re-enable the PPU afterwards to make sure that the switch will
    notice changes in link state and speed on the individual ports as they
    occur.

    Since disabling the PPU is rather slow, and since MII management
    accesses are typically done in bursts, this patch keeps the PPU disabled
    for 10ms after a software access completes. This makes handling the
    PPU slightly more complex, but speeds up something like running ethtool
    on one of the switch slave interfaces from ~300ms to ~30ms on typical
    hardware.

  • Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the
    Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added
    support for, but only the original DSA tagging format.

    The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the
    Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not
    have an ethertype field. In other words, when receiving a packet that
    is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in
    eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet.

    This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in
    if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is
    selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver
    instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format.
    If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the
    packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

  • Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware
    switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and
    commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to
    signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from
    or is intended to be sent to.

    The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in
    access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch
    looks something like this:

    +-----------+ +-----------+
    | | RGMII | |
    | +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN")
    | | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1")
    | CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2")
    | |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3")
    | +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4")
    | | | |
    +-----------+ +-----------+

    The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate
    network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software
    link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface
    accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to
    the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters
    via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces.

    This initial patch supports the MII management interface register
    layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and
    supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format.

    (There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA
    packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use
    is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value
    of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in
    the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or
    if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and
    everything will continue to work.)
