Given that standalone ports are now configured to bypass the ATU and forward all frames towards the upstream port, extend the ATU bypass to multichip systems. Load VID 0 (standalone) into the VTU with the policy bit set. Since VID 4095 (bridged) is already loaded, we now know that all VIDs in use are always available in all VTUs. Therefore, we can safely enable 802.1Q on DSA ports. Setting the DSA ports' VTU policy to TRAP means that all incoming frames on VID 0 will be classified as MGMT - as a result, the ATU is bypassed on all subsequent switches. With this isolation in place, we are able to support configurations that are simultaneously very quirky and very useful. Quirky because it involves looping cables between local switchports like in this example: CPU | .------. .---0---. | .----0----. | sw0 | | | sw1 | '-1-2-3-' | '-1-2-3-4-' $ @ '---' $ @ % % We have three physically looped pairs ($, @, and %). This is very useful because it allows us to run the kernel's kselftests for the bridge on mv88e6xxx hardware.

Could we also simplify mv88e6xxx_port_db_dump() by deleting the mv88e6xxx_port_get_fid() from there (and then delete this function altogether)?
db_dump could be simplified, as there is no reason to go looking for entries in MV88E6XXX_FID_STANDALONE. We still need this function to collect all in-use FIDs in order for mv88e6xxx_atu_new to be able to pick a free one.
I think the mv88e6xxx_port_set_fid() call is now useless too?
I don't think so. Since standalone ports do not have 1Q enabled, they will source their FID from there. This is important because of the awkward way in which these chips behave when learning is "disabled". The quotes are there because disabling learning essentially means that the switch will just load an invalid entry for incoming SA:s. Which means that they must still be isolated in their own FID to avoid poisoning other databases.

No, because FORWARDs from non-filtering bridges will use MV88E6XXX_VID_BRIDGED, which does not have the policy bit set in its VTU entry. If the CPU was to send a FORWARD on MV88E6XXX_VID_STANDALONE, then it would bounce back. By definition though, no forward offloading ever takes place on those ports, so only FROM_CPUs will be sent.
Somehow I think you intend to make this match only on downstream-facing DSA ports.
That sounds like a good idea. It shouldn't change the behavior, but it
does seem more prudent.
So !dsa_is_user_port would become dsa_is_downstream_port, which in turn
would be something like:
/* Return true if this is a DSA port leading away from the CPU */
static inline bool dsa_is_downstream_port(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port)
{
return dsa_is_dsa_port(ds, port) && !dsa_is_upstream_port(ds, port);
}
Agreed?

I thought cascade ports parse the VID from the DSA header regardless of 802.1Q mode.
I am pretty sure they will just forward the frame according to the PVT config if 1Q is disabled.

By setting the port as untagged, that VID is stripped on egress. If you make it UNMODIFIED, the outside world will see it. Or am I wrong?
Unmodified basically means: "Send it out in the same way that is was received, in accordance with the port's frame mode". The frame mode then determines the actual on-wire format. For DSA ports, the frame mode is set to "DSA", in which case the port will relay the frame with the DSA tag untouched. For user ports, the frame mode is set to "Normal Network", which either strips the DSA tag in case of an untagged frame, or converts it to a 1Q frame in the case of a tagged frame. Which is why no DSA tags will ever be sent.
