Vladimir Oltean 7cef293b9a net: dsa: sja1105: fix multicast forwarding working only for last added mdb entry
The commit cited in Fixes: did 2 things: it refactored the read-back
polling from sja1105_dynamic_config_read() into a new function,
sja1105_dynamic_config_wait_complete(), and it called that from
sja1105_dynamic_config_write() too.

What is problematic is the refactoring.

The refactored code from sja1105_dynamic_config_poll_valid() works like
the previous one, but the problem is that it uses another packed_buf[]
SPI buffer, and there was code at the end of sja1105_dynamic_config_read()
which was relying on the read-back packed_buf[]:

	/* Don't dereference possibly NULL pointer - maybe caller
	 * only wanted to see whether the entry existed or not.
	 */
	if (entry)
		ops->entry_packing(packed_buf, entry, UNPACK);

After the change, the packed_buf[] that this code sees is no longer the
entry read back from hardware, but the original entry that the caller
passed to the sja1105_dynamic_config_read(), packed into this buffer.

This difference is the most notable with the SJA1105_SEARCH uses from
sja1105pqrs_fdb_add() - used for both fdb and mdb. There, we have logic
added by commit 728db843df ("net: dsa: sja1105: ignore the FDB entry
for unknown multicast when adding a new address") to figure out whether
the address we're trying to add matches on any existing hardware entry,
with the exception of the catch-all multicast address.

That logic was broken, because with sja1105_dynamic_config_read() not
working properly, it doesn't return us the entry read back from
hardware, but the entry that we passed to it. And, since for multicast,
a match will always exist, it will tell us that any mdb entry already
exists at index=0 L2 Address Lookup table. It is index=0 because the
caller doesn't know the index - it wants to find it out, and
sja1105_dynamic_config_read() does:

	if (index < 0) { // SJA1105_SEARCH
		/* Avoid copying a signed negative number to an u64 */
		cmd.index = 0; // <- this
		cmd.search = true;
	} else {
		cmd.index = index;
		cmd.search = false;
	}

So, to the caller of sja1105_dynamic_config_read(), the returned info
looks entirely legit, and it will add all mdb entries to FDB index 0.
There, they will always overwrite each other (not to mention,
potentially they can also overwrite a pre-existing bridge fdb entry),
and the user-visible impact will be that only the last mdb entry will be
forwarded as it should. The others won't (will be flooded or dropped,
depending on the egress flood settings).

Fixing is a bit more complicated, and involves either passing the same
packed_buf[] to sja1105_dynamic_config_wait_complete(), or moving all
the extra processing on the packed_buf[] to
sja1105_dynamic_config_wait_complete(). I've opted for the latter,
because it makes sja1105_dynamic_config_wait_complete() a bit more
self-contained.

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.
