Hi all, This patch series splits the removal of the switchdev_ops that was proposed a few times before and first tackles the easy part which is the removal of the single call to switchdev_port_attr_get() within the bridge code. As suggestd by Ido, this patch series adds a SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS which is used in the same context as the caller of switchdev_port_attr_set(), so not deferred, and then the operation is carried out in deferred context with setting a support bridge port flag. Follow-up patches will do the switchdev_ops removal after introducing the proper helpers for the switchdev blocking notifier to work across stacked devices (unlike the previous submissions). David this does depend on Russell's "[PATCH net-next v5 0/3] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fix IPv6". Changes in v3: - rebased against net-next/master after Russell's IPv6 changes to DSA - ignore prepare/commit phase for PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS since we don't want to trigger the WARN() in net/switchdev/switchdev.c in the commit phase Changes in v2: - differentiate callers not supporting switchdev_port_attr_set() from the driver not being able to support specific bridge flags - pass "mask" instead of "flags" for the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS check - skip prepare phase for PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS - corrected documentation a bit more - tested bridge_vlan_aware.sh with veth/VRF Florian Fainelli (8): net: switchdev: Add PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS mlxsw: spectrum: Handle PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS staging: fsl-dpaa2: ethsw: Handle PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS net: dsa: Add setter for SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS rocker: Check Handle PORT_PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS net: bridge: Stop calling switchdev_port_attr_get() net: Remove SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS_SUPPORT net: Get rid of switchdev_port_attr_get() Documentation/networking/switchdev.txt | 6 +- .../mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_switchdev.c | 32 ++++---- drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker_main.c | 74 ++++++++++--------- drivers/staging/fsl-dpaa2/ethsw/ethsw.c | 29 ++++---- include/net/switchdev.h | 13 +--- net/bridge/br_switchdev.c | 11 ++- net/dsa/dsa_priv.h | 2 + net/dsa/port.c | 12 +++ net/dsa/slave.c | 25 +------ 9 files changed, 98 insertions(+), 106 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
