realtek: net: dsa: configure better brport flags when ports leave the bridge
Ensures that the DSA driver sets exactly the same default flags as the
bridge when a port joins or leaves. Without this we end up with a
confusing flag mismatch, where DSA and bridge ports use different sets
of flags.
This is critical as the "learning" mismatch will be harmful to the
network, causing all traffic to be flooded on all ports.
The original commit was buggy, trying to set the flags one-by-one in a
loop. This was not supported by the API and the end result was that
all but the last flag were cleared. This bug was implicitly fixed
upstream by commit e18f4c18ab5b ("net: switchdev: pass flags and mask
to both {PRE_,}BRIDGE_FLAGS attributes").
This is a minimum temporary stop measure fix for the critical lack of
"learning" only. The major API change associated with a full v5.12+
backport is neither required nor wanted. A simpler fix, moving the
call to dsa_port_bridge_flags() out of the loop, has therefore been
merged into this modified backport.

+Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: configure better brport flags when ports leave the
+ bridge
+
+Bugfixed version of upstream commit 5e38c15856e9 ("net: dsa: configure
+better brport flags when ports leave the bridge")
+
+For a DSA switch port operating in standalone mode, address learning
+doesn't make much sense since that is a bridge function. In fact,
+address learning even breaks setups such as this one:
+
+ +---------------------------------------------+
+ | |
+ | +-------------------+ |
+ | | br0 | send receive |
+ | +--------+-+--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |
+ | | | | | | | | | |
+ | | swp0 | | swp1 | | swp2 | | swp3 | |
+ | | | | | | | | | |
+ +-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+
+ | ^ | ^
+ | | | |
+ | +-----------+ |
+ | |
+ +--------------------------------+
+
+because if the switch has a single FDB (can offload a single bridge)
+then source address learning on swp3 can "steal" the source MAC address
+of swp2 from br0's FDB, because learning frames coming from swp2 will be
+done twice: first on the swp1 ingress port, second on the swp3 ingress
+port. So the hardware FDB will become out of sync with the software
+bridge, and when swp2 tries to send one more packet towards swp1, the
+ASIC will attempt to short-circuit the forwarding path and send it
+directly to swp3 (since that's the last port it learned that address on),
+which it obviously can't, because swp3 operates in standalone mode.
+
+So DSA drivers operating in standalone mode should still configure a
+list of bridge port flags even when they are standalone. Currently DSA
+attempts to call dsa_port_bridge_flags with 0, which disables egress
+flooding of unknown unicast and multicast, something which doesn't make
+much sense. For the switches that implement .port_egress_floods - b53
+and mv88e6xxx, it probably doesn't matter too much either, since they
+can possibly inject traffic from the CPU into a standalone port,
+regardless of MAC DA, even if egress flooding is turned off for that
+port, but certainly not all DSA switches can do that - sja1105, for
+example, can't. So it makes sense to use a better common default there,
+such as "flood everything".
+
+It should also be noted that what DSA calls "dsa_port_bridge_flags()"
+is a degenerate name for just calling .port_egress_floods(), since
+nothing else is implemented - not learning, in particular. But disabling
+address learning, something that this driver is also coding up for, will
+be supported by individual drivers once .port_egress_floods is replaced
+with a more generic .port_bridge_flags.
+
+Previous attempts to code up this logic have been in the common bridge
+layer, but as pointed out by Ido Schimmel, there are corner cases that
+are missed when doing that:
+https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210209151936.97382-5-olteanv@gmail.com/
+
+So, at least for now, let's leave DSA in charge of setting port flags
+before and after the bridge join and leave.
