When changing DSA user interface conduit while the user interface is up, DSA exhibits different behavior in comparison to when the interface is down. This different behavior concerns the primary unicast MAC address stored in the port standalone FDB and in the conduit device UC database. If we put a switch port down while changing the conduit with ip link set sw0p0 down ip link set sw0p0 type dsa conduit conduit1 ip link set sw0p0 up we delete the address in dsa_user_close() and install the (possibly different) address in dsa_user_open(). But when changing the conduit on the fly, the old address is not deleted and the new one is not installed. Since we explicitly want to support live-changing the conduit, uninstall the old address before calling dsa_port_assign_conduit() and install the (possibly different) new address after the call. Because conduit change might also trigger address change (the user interface is supposed to inherit the conduit interface MAC address if no address is defined in hardware (dp->mac is a zero address)), move the eth_hw_addr_inherit() call from dsa_user_change_conduit() to dsa_port_change_conduit(), just before installing the new address. Although this is in theory a flaw in DSA core, it needs not be backported, since there is currently no DSA driver that can be affected by this. The only DSA driver that supports changing conduit is felix, and, as explained by Vladimir Oltean [1]: There are 2 reasons why with felix the bug does not manifest itself. First is because both the 'ocelot' and the alternate 'ocelot-8021q' tagging protocols have the 'promisc_on_conduit = true' flag. So the unicast address doesn't have to be in the conduit's RX filter - neither the old or the new conduit. Second, dsa_user_host_uc_install() theoretically leaves behind host FDB entries installed towards the wrong (old) CPU port. But in felix_fdb_add(), we treat any FDB entry requested towards any CPU port as if it was a multicast FDB entry programmed towards _all_ CPU ports. For that reason, it is installed towards the port mask of the PGID_CPU port group ID: if (dsa_port_is_cpu(dp)) port = PGID_CPU; Therefore no Fixes tag for this change.

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.
