Vladimir Oltean b8e997c490 net: dsa: introduce a separate cross-chip notifier type for host MDBs 
Commit abd49535c3 ("net: dsa: execute dsa_switch_mdb_add only for
routing port in cross-chip topologies") does a surprisingly good job
even for the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB use case, where DSA simply
translates a switchdev object received on dp into a cross-chip notifier
for dp->cpu_dp.

To visualize how that works, imagine the daisy chain topology below and
consider a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB object emitted on sw2p0. How does
the cross-chip notifier know to match on all the right ports (sw0p4, the
dedicated CPU port, sw1p4, an upstream DSA link, and sw2p4, another
upstream DSA link)?

                                      +---------+
                                                |
       sw2p0     sw2p1     sw2p2     sw2p3     sw2p4
    [  user ] [  user ] [  user ] [  user ] [  dsa  ]
    [       ] [       ] [       ] [       ] [   x   ]

The answer is simple: the dedicated CPU port of sw2p0 is sw0p4, and
dsa_routing_port returns the upstream port for all switches.

That is fine, but there are other topologies where this does not work as
well. There are trees with "H" topologies in the wild, where there are 2
or more switches with DSA links between them, but every switch has its
dedicated CPU port. For these topologies, it seems stupid for the neighbor
switches to install an MDB entry on the routing port, since these
multicast addresses are fundamentally different than the usual ones we
support (and that is the justification for this patch, to introduce the
concept of a termination plane multicast MAC address, as opposed to a
forwarding plane multicast MAC address).

For example, when a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_HOST_MDB would get added to sw0p0,
without this patch, it would get treated as a regular port MDB on sw0p2
and it would match on the ports below (including the sw1p3 routing port).

                         |                                  |
    sw0p0     sw0p1     sw0p2     sw0p3          sw1p3     sw1p2     sw1p1     sw1p0
 [  user ] [  user ] [  cpu  ] [  dsa  ]      [  dsa  ] [  cpu  ] [  user ] [  user ]
 [       ] [       ] [   x   ] [       ] ---- [   x   ] [       ] [       ] [       ]

With the patch, the host MDB notifier on sw0p0 matches only on the local
switch, which is what we want for a termination plane address.

                         |                                  |
    sw0p0     sw0p1     sw0p2     sw0p3          sw1p3     sw1p2     sw1p1     sw1p0
 [  user ] [  user ] [  cpu  ] [  dsa  ]      [  dsa  ] [  cpu  ] [  user ] [  user ]
 [       ] [       ] [   x   ] [       ] ---- [       ] [       ] [       ] [       ]

Name this new matching function "dsa_switch_host_address_match" since we
will be reusing it soon for host FDB entries as well.

README 

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.
