net: dsa: sja1105: use 4095 as the private VLAN for untagged traffic
commit ed040ab upstream. One thing became visible when writing the blamed commit, and that was that STP and PTP frames injected by net/dsa/tag_sja1105.c using the deferred xmit mechanism are always classified to the pvid of the CPU port, regardless of whatever VLAN there might be in these packets. So a decision needed to be taken regarding the mechanism through which we should ensure that delivery of STP and PTP traffic is possible when we are in a VLAN awareness mode that involves tag_8021q. This is because tag_8021q is not concerned with managing the pvid of the CPU port, since as far as tag_8021q is concerned, no traffic should be sent as untagged from the CPU port. So we end up not actually having a pvid on the CPU port if we only listen to tag_8021q, and unless we do something about it. The decision taken at the time was to keep VLAN 1 in the list of priv->dsa_8021q_vlans, and make it a pvid of the CPU port. This ensures that STP and PTP frames can always be sent to the outside world. However there is a problem. If we do the following while we are in the best_effort_vlan_filtering=true mode: ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 ip link set swp2 master br0 bridge vlan del dev swp2 vid 1 Then untagged and pvid-tagged frames should be dropped. But we observe that they aren't, and this is because of the precaution we took that VID 1 is always installed on all ports. So clearly VLAN 1 is not good for this purpose. What about VLAN 0? Well, VLAN 0 is managed by the 8021q module, and that module wants to ensure that 802.1p tagged frames are always received by a port, and are always transmitted as VLAN-tagged (with VLAN ID 0). Whereas we want our STP and PTP frames to be untagged if the stack sent them as untagged - we don't want the driver to just decide out of the blue that it adds VID 0 to some packets. So what to do? Well, there is one other VLAN that is reserved, and that is 4095: $ ip link add link swp2 name swp2.4095 type vlan id 4095 Error: 8021q: Invalid VLAN id. $ bridge vlan add dev swp2 vid 4095 Error: bridge: Vlan id is invalid. After we made this change, VLAN 1 is indeed forwarded and/or dropped according to the bridge VLAN table, there are no further alterations done by the sja1105 driver.
