net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: keep the pvid at 0 when VLAN-unaware
The VLAN support in mv88e6xxx has a loaded history. Commit 2ea7a679ca2a ("net: dsa: Don't add vlans when vlan filtering is disabled") noticed some issues with VLAN and decided the best way to deal with them was to make the DSA core ignore VLANs added by the bridge while VLAN awareness is turned off. Those issues were never explained, just presented as "at least one corner case". That approach had problems of its own, presented by commit 54a0ed0df496 ("net: dsa: provide an option for drivers to always receive bridge VLANs") for the DSA core, followed by commit 1fb74191988f ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: fix vlan setup") which applied ds->configure_vlan_while_not_filtering = true for mv88e6xxx in particular. We still don't know what corner case Andrew saw when he wrote commit 2ea7a679ca2a ("net: dsa: Don't add vlans when vlan filtering is disabled"), but Tobias now reports that when we use TX forwarding offload, pinging an external station from the bridge device is broken if the front-facing DSA user port has flooding turned off. The full description is in the link below, but for short, when a mv88e6xxx port is under a VLAN-unaware bridge, it inherits that bridge's pvid. So packets ingressing a user port will be classified to e.g. VID 1 (assuming that value for the bridge_default_pvid), whereas when tag_dsa.c xmits towards a user port, it always sends packets using a VID of 0 if that port is standalone or under a VLAN-unaware bridge - or at least it did so prior to commit d82f8ab0d874 ("net: dsa: tag_dsa: offload the bridge forwarding process"). In any case, when there is a conversation between the CPU and a station connected to a user port, the station's MAC address is learned in VID 1 but the CPU tries to transmit through VID 0. The packets reach the intended station, but via flooding and not by virtue of matching the existing ATU entry. DSA has established (and enforced in other drivers: sja1105, felix, mt7530) that a VLAN-unaware port should use a private pvid, and not inherit the one from the bridge. The bridge's pvid should only be inherited when that bridge is VLAN-aware, so all state transitions need to be handled. On the other hand, all bridge VLANs should sit in the VTU starting with the moment when the bridge offloads them via switchdev, they are just not used. This solves the problem that Tobias sees because packets ingressing on VLAN-unaware user ports now get classified to VID 0, which is also the VID used by tag_dsa.c on xmit.
