Hello!
The current R-Car S4 rswitch driver only supports port based fowarding.
This patch set adds HW offloading for L2 switching/bridgeing. The driver
hooks into switchdev.
1. Rename the base driver file to keep the driver name (rswitch.ko)
2. Add setting of default MAC ageing time in hardware.
3. Add the L2 driver extension in a separate file. The HW offloading
is automatically configured when a port is added to the bridge device.
Usage example:
ip link add name br0 type bridge
ip link set dev tsn0 master br0
ip link set dev tsn1 master br0
ip link set dev br0 up
ip link set dev tsn0 up
ip link set dev tsn1 up
Layer 2 traffic is now fowarded by HW from port TSN0 to port TSN1.
4. Provides the functionality to set the MAC table ageing time in the
Rswitch.
Usage example:
ip link change dev br0 type bridge ageing 100
Changes in v5:
- Updated commit messeges [3/4] and [4/4] using iperative mood.
- Fixed incorrect id_len setting in rswitch_get_port_parent_id()
- Removed duplicate initialization of *rdev in
rswitch_update_ageing_time()
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250828-add_l2_switching-v4-0-89d7108c8592@renesas.com
Changes in v4:
- Added target tree to subject prefix.
- refactored rswitch_update_l2_hw_learning() and
rswitch_update_l2_hw_forwarding() to remove duplicate code.
- In function rswitch_update_offload_brdev() removed unused
force_update_l2_offload parameter.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250710-add_l2_switching-v3-0-c0a328327b43@renesas.com
Changes in v3:
- Split void rswitch_update_l2_offload(struct rswitch_private *priv)
into two functions to reduce the complexity.
- In rswitch_switchdev_blocking_event() returning -EOPNOTSUPP directly
for unsupported events intead of calling function which returned
-EOPNOTSUPP.
- Retuning result from rswitch_reg_wait() directly instead of using
local variable at end of function.
- Restructured rswitch_update_offload_brdev() to fix smatch
false-positive report.
- Fixed reviewed-by tags in [1/4]
- Fixed oder of signed-off-by tags in [2/4]
- Removed magic number in [2/4]
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250708-add_l2_switching-v2-0-f91f5556617a@renesas.com
Changes in v2:
- Pulled default ageing setting into separate patch.
- Changed logging priority from info to dbg.
- Updated usage examples.
- Fixed passing of ageing parameter. Parameter is already in seconds
no need to convert. Parameter checking improved.
- Updated commit message of [3/4] to point out that the switch hardware
only supports the offloading of one bridge device.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250704-add_l2_switching-v1-0-ff882aacb258@renesas.com
Thanks,
Michael
