Hello,

This series is dependent on the following patches sent out to
netdev list. All (1-3) are already merged to net/master as of
sending this, but not on the net-next master branch. So need
to apply them to net-next before applying this series. v3 of
the iproute2 patches can be merged to work with this series
as there are no updates since then.

This series adds support for Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP)
in the Linux HSR driver as defined in IEC-62439-3. PRP Uses a
Redundancy Control Trailer (RCT) the format of which is
similar to HSR Tag. This is used for implementing redundancy.
RCT consists of 6 bytes similar to HSR tag and contain following
fields:-

- 16-bit sequence number (SeqNr);
- 4-bit LAN identifier (LanId);
- 12 bit frame size (LSDUsize);
- 16-bit suffix (PRPsuffix).

The PRPsuffix identifies PRP frames and distinguishes PRP frames
from other protocols that also append a trailer to their useful
data. The LSDUsize field allows the receiver to distinguish PRP
frames from random, nonredundant frames as an additional check.
LSDUsize is the size of the Ethernet payload inclusive of the
RCT. Sequence number along with LanId is used for duplicate
detection and discard.

PRP node is also known as Dual Attached Node (DAN-P) since it
is typically attached to two different LAN for redundancy.
DAN-P duplicates each of L2 frames and send it over the two
Ethernet links. Each outgoing frame is appended with RCT.
Unlike HSR, these are added to the end of L2 frame and will be
treated as pad by bridges and therefore would be work with
traditional bridges or switches, where as HSR wouldn't as Tag
is prefixed to the Ethenet frame. At the remote end, these are
received and the duplicate frame is discarded before the stripped
frame is send up the networking stack. Like HSR, PRP also sends
periodic Supervision frames to the network. These frames are
received and MAC address from the SV frames are populated in a
database called Node Table. The above functions are grouped into
a block called Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) in the IEC spec.

As there are many similarities between HSR and PRP protocols,
this patch re-uses the code from HSR driver to implement PRP
driver. As per feedback from the RFC series, the implementation
uses the existing HSR Netlink socket interface to create the
PRP interface by adding a new proto parameter to the ip link
command to identify the PRP protocol. iproute2 is enhanced to
implement this new parameter. The hsr_netlink.c is enhanced
to handle the new proto parameter. As suggested during the RFC
review, the driver introduced a proto_ops structure to hold
protocol specfic functions to handle HSR and PRP specific
function pointers and use them in the code based on the
protocol to handle protocol specific part differently in the
driver.

Please review this and provide me feedback so that I can work to
incorporate them and spin the next version if needed.

The patch was tested using two TI AM57x IDK boards for PRP which
are connected back to back over two CPSW Ethernet ports.

PRP Test setup
---------------

--------eth0 eth0 --------
|AM572x|----------------------|AM572x|
| |----------------------| |
--------eth1 eth1 --------


To build, enable CONFIG_HSR=y or m
make omap2plus_defconfig
make zImage; make modules; make dtbs
Copy the zImage and dtb files to the file system on SD card
and power on the AM572x boards.
This can be tested on any platforms with 2 Ethernet interfaces.
So will appreciate if you can give it a try and provide your
Tested-by.

Command to create PRP interface
-------------------------------

ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 down

command to show node table
----------------------------
Ping the peer board after the prp0 interface is up.

The remote node (DAN-P) will be shown in the node table as below.

root@am57xx-evm:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/hsr/prp0/node_table
Node Table entries for (PRP) device
MAC-Address-A, MAC-Address-B, time_in[A], time_in[B], Address-B port, SAN-A, SAN-B, DAN-P
70:ff:76:1c:0e:8c 00:00:00:00:00:00 ffffe83f, ffffe83f, 0, 0, 0, 1

Try to capture the raw PRP frames at the eth0 interface as
tcpdump -i eth0 -xxx

Sample Supervision frames and ARP frames shown below.

Version history:
v5 : Fixed comments about Kconfig changes on Patch 1/7 against v4
Rebased to netnext/master branch.

v4 : fixed following vs v3
reverse xmas tree for local variables
check for return type in call to skb_put_padto()

v3 : Separated bug fixes from this series and send them for immediate merge
But for that this is same as v2.
v2 : updated comments on RFC. Following are the main changes:-
- Removed the hsr_prp prefix
- Added PRP information in header files to indicate
the support for PRP explicitely
- Re-use netlink socket interface with an added
parameter proto for identifying PRP.
- Use function pointers using a proto_ops struct
to do things differently for PRP vs HSR.

RFC: initial version posted and discussed at
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg656229.html

Murali Karicheri (7):
hsr: enhance netlink socket interface to support PRP
net: hsr: introduce common code for skb initialization

If there are no more comments, can we consider merging this to
net-next? I could re-base and repost if there is any conflict.

Thanks and regards,
