21 they configured/queried a switch port network device or a regular network
38 For each front-panel port, DSA will create specialized network devices which are
40 stack. These specialized network interfaces are referred to as "slave" network
56 Note that DSA does not currently create network interfaces for the "cpu" and
64   cannot really be used as proper network interfaces either, only the
85 Master network devices
88 Master network devices are regular, unmodified Linux network device drivers for
93 drivers. Such network devices are also often referred to as conduit network
107 Master network device (e.g.: e1000e):
134 	-> locate per-port network device
135 	-> invoke eth_type_trans() with the DSA slave network device
138 Past this point, the DSA slave network devices get delivered regular Ethernet
141 Slave network devices
144 Slave network devices created by DSA are stacked on top of their master network
145 device, each of these network interfaces will be responsible for being a
155 These slave network devices have custom net_device_ops and ethtool_ops function
159 Upon frame transmission from these slave network devices, DSA will look up which
160 switch tagging protocol is currently registered with these network devices, and
164 These frames are then queued for transmission using the master network device
172 Summarized, this is basically how DSA looks like from a network device

230 dsa_switch_tree as a backpointer, slave network devices, master network device,
243 it will register the entire DSA switch tree attached to a master network device
260 Lack of CPU/DSA network devices
263 DSA does not currently create slave network devices for the CPU or DSA ports, as
278 Once a master network device is configured to use DSA (dev->dsa_ptr becomes
279 non-NULL), and the switch behind it expects a tagging protocol, this network
286 Slave network devices check that the master network device is UP before allowing
287 you to administratively bring UP these slave network devices. A common
288 configuration mistake is forgetting to bring UP the master network device first.
302 Slave network devices exposed by DSA may or may not be interfacing with PHY
