SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================= +sja1105 devlink support +======================= + +This document describes the devlink features implemented +by the ``sja1105`` device driver. + +Parameters +========== + +.. list-table:: Driver-specific parameters implemented + :widths: 5 5 5 85 + + * - Name + - Type + - Mode + - Description + * - ``best_effort_vlan_filtering`` + - Boolean + - runtime + - Allow plain ETH_P_8021Q headers to be used as DSA tags. + + Benefits: + + - Can terminate untagged traffic over switch net + devices even when enslaved to a bridge with + vlan_filtering=1. + - Can terminate VLAN-tagged traffic over switch net + devices even when enslaved to a bridge with + vlan_filtering=1, with some constraints (no more than + 7 non-pvid VLANs per user port). + - Can do QoS based on VLAN PCP and VLAN membership + admission control for autonomously forwarded frames + (regardless of whether they can be terminated on the + CPU or not). + + Drawbacks: + + - User cannot use VLANs in range 1024-3071. If the + switch receives frames with such VIDs, it will + misinterpret them as DSA tags. + - Switch uses Shared VLAN Learning (FDB lookup uses + only DMAC as key). + - When VLANs span cross-chip topologies, the total + number of permitted VLANs may be less than 7 per + port, due to a maximum number of 32 VLAN retagging + rules per switch. |
