Vladimir Oltean 0251e13f3f net: dsa: sja1105: discard incoming frames in BR_STATE_LISTENING 
[ Upstream commit 498625a8ab ]

It has been reported that when under a bridge with stp_state=1, the logs
get spammed with this message:

[  251.734607] fsl_dpaa2_eth dpni.5 eth0: Couldn't decode source port

Further debugging shows the following info associated with packets:
source_port=-1, switch_id=-1, vid=-1, vbid=1

In other words, they are data plane packets which are supposed to be
decoded by dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid(), but the latter (correctly)
refuses to do so, because no switch port is currently in
BR_STATE_LEARNING or BR_STATE_FORWARDING - so the packet is effectively
unexpected.

The error goes away after the port progresses to BR_STATE_LEARNING in 15
seconds (the default forward_time of the bridge), because then,
dsa_tag_8021q_find_port_by_vbid() can correctly associate the data plane
packets with a plausible bridge port in a plausible STP state.

Re-reading IEEE 802.1D-1990, I see the following:

"4.4.2 Learning: (...) The Forwarding Process shall discard received
frames."

IEEE 802.1D-2004 further clarifies:

"DISABLED, BLOCKING, LISTENING, and BROKEN all correspond to the
DISCARDING port state. While those dot1dStpPortStates serve to
distinguish reasons for discarding frames, the operation of the
Forwarding and Learning processes is the same for all of them. (...)
LISTENING represents a port that the spanning tree algorithm has
selected to be part of the active topology (computing a Root Port or
Designated Port role) but is temporarily discarding frames to guard
against loops or incorrect learning."

Well, this is not what the driver does - instead it sets
mac[port].ingress = true.

To get rid of the log spam, prevent unexpected data plane packets to
be received by software by discarding them on ingress in the LISTENING
state.

In terms of blame attribution: the prints only date back to commit
d7f9787a76 ("net: dsa: tag_8021q: add support for imprecise RX based
on the VBID"). However, the settings would permit a LISTENING port to
forward to a FORWARDING port, and the standard suggests that's not OK.

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 reStructuredText 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.
