It's not true that switchdev_port_obj_notify() only inspects the ->handled field of "struct switchdev_notifier_port_obj_info" if call_switchdev_blocking_notifiers() returns 0 - there's a WARN_ON() triggering for a non-zero return combined with ->handled not being true. But the real problem here is that -EOPNOTSUPP is not being properly handled. The wrapper functions switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() et al change a return value of -EOPNOTSUPP to 0, and the treatment of ->handled in switchdev_port_obj_notify() seems to be designed to change that back to -EOPNOTSUPP in case nobody actually acted on the notifier (i.e., everybody returned -EOPNOTSUPP). Currently, as soon as some device down the stack passes the check_cb() check, ->handled gets set to true, which means that switchdev_port_obj_notify() cannot actually ever return -EOPNOTSUPP. This, for example, means that the detection of hardware offload support in the MRP code is broken: switchdev_port_obj_add() used by br_mrp_switchdev_send_ring_test() always returns 0, so since the MRP code thinks the generation of MRP test frames has been offloaded, no such frames are actually put on the wire. Similarly, br_mrp_switchdev_set_ring_role() also always returns 0, causing mrp->ring_role_offloaded to be set to 1. To fix this, continue to set ->handled true if any callback returns success or any error distinct from -EOPNOTSUPP. But if all the callbacks return -EOPNOTSUPP, make sure that ->handled stays false, so the logic in switchdev_port_obj_notify() can propagate that information. Fixes: |

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 Restructured Text 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.
