The cpsw holds separate mcast entires for vlan entries. At this moment driver adds only not vlan mcast addresses, omitting vlan/mcast entries. As result mcast for vlans doesn't work. It can be fixed by adding same mcast entries for every created vlan, but this patchseries uses more sophisticated way and allows to create mcast entries only for vlans that really require it. Generic functions from this series can be reused for fixing vlan and macvlan unicast. Simple example of ALE table before and after this series, having same mcast entries as for vlan 100 as for real device (reserved vlan 2), and one mcast address only for vlan 100 - 01:1b:19:00:00:00. <---- Before this patchset ----> vlan , vid = 2, untag_force = 0x5, reg_mcast = 0x5, mem_list = 0x5 mcast, vid = 2, addr = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, port_mask = 0x1 ucast, vid = 2, addr = 74:da:ea:47:7d:9d, persistant, port_num = 0x0 vlan , vid = 0, untag_force = 0x7, reg_mcast = 0x0, mem_list = 0x7 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 vlan , vid = 1, untag_force = 0x3, reg_mcast = 0x3, mem_list = 0x3 mcast, vid = 1, addr = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, port_mask = 0x1 ucast, vid = 1, addr = 74:da:ea:47:7d:9c, persistant, port_num = 0x0 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:0e, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:0e, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:ff:47:7d:9d, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:fb, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:01:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:ff:47:7d:9c, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:fb, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:01:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:fb, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:fc, port_mask = 0x1 vlan , vid = 100, untag_force = 0x0, reg_mcast = 0x5, mem_list = 0x5 ucast, vid = 100, addr = 74:da:ea:47:7d:9d, persistant, port_num = 0x0 mcast, vid = 100, addr = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:1b:19:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 ^^^ Here mcast entry (ptpl2), has to be added only for vlan 100 but added for reserved vlan 2...that's not enough. <---- After this patchset ----> vlan , vid = 2, untag_force = 0x5, reg_mcast = 0x5, mem_list = 0x5 mcast, vid = 2, addr = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, port_mask = 0x1 ucast, vid = 2, addr = 74:da:ea:47:7d:9d, persistant, port_num = 0x0 vlan , vid = 0, untag_force = 0x7, reg_mcast = 0x0, mem_list = 0x7 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 vlan , vid = 1, untag_force = 0x3, reg_mcast = 0x3, mem_list = 0x3 mcast, vid = 1, addr = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, port_mask = 0x1 ucast, vid = 1, addr = 74:da:ea:47:7d:9c, persistant, port_num = 0x0 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:0e, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:0e, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:ff:47:7d:9d, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:ff:47:7d:9c, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:fb, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:01:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:fb, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:01:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 vlan , vid = 100, untag_force = 0x0, reg_mcast = 0x5, mem_list = 0x5 ucast, vid = 100, addr = 74:da:ea:47:7d:9d, persistant, port_num = 0x0 mcast, vid = 100, addr = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 01:00:5e:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 33:33:ff:47:7d:9d, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 01:80:c2:00:00:0e, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:fb, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 33:33:00:01:00:03, port_mask = 0x1 mcast, vid = 100, addr = 01:1b:19:00:00:00, port_mask = 0x1 ^^^ Here mcast entry (ptpl2), is added only for vlan 100 as it should be.
