As its implementation shows, this is synonimous with calling
dsa_slave_dev_check followed by dsa_slave_to_port, so it is quite simple
already and provides functionality which is already there.
However there is now a need for these functions outside dsa_priv.h, for
example in drivers that perform mirroring and redirection through
tc-flower offloads (they are given raw access to the flow_cls_offload
structure), where they need to call this function on act->dev.
But simply exporting dsa_slave_to_port would make it non-inline and
would result in an extra function call in the hotpath, as can be seen
for example in sja1105:
Before:
000006dc <sja1105_xmit>:
{
6dc: e92d4ff0 push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl, fp, lr}
6e0: e1a04000 mov r4, r0
6e4: e591958c ldr r9, [r1, #1420] ; 0x58c <- Inline dsa_slave_to_port
6e8: e1a05001 mov r5, r1
6ec: e24dd004 sub sp, sp, #4
u16 tx_vid = dsa_8021q_tx_vid(dp->ds, dp->index);
6f0: e1c901d8 ldrd r0, [r9, #24]
6f4: ebfffffe bl 0 <dsa_8021q_tx_vid>
6f4: R_ARM_CALL dsa_8021q_tx_vid
u8 pcp = netdev_txq_to_tc(netdev, queue_mapping);
6f8: e1d416b0 ldrh r1, [r4, #96] ; 0x60
u16 tx_vid = dsa_8021q_tx_vid(dp->ds, dp->index);
6fc: e1a08000 mov r8, r0
After:
000006e4 <sja1105_xmit>:
{
6e4: e92d4ff0 push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl, fp, lr}
6e8: e1a04000 mov r4, r0
6ec: e24dd004 sub sp, sp, #4
struct dsa_port *dp = dsa_slave_to_port(netdev);
6f0: e1a00001 mov r0, r1
{
6f4: e1a05001 mov r5, r1
struct dsa_port *dp = dsa_slave_to_port(netdev);
6f8: ebfffffe bl 0 <dsa_slave_to_port>
6f8: R_ARM_CALL dsa_slave_to_port
6fc: e1a09000 mov r9, r0
u16 tx_vid = dsa_8021q_tx_vid(dp->ds, dp->index);
700: e1c001d8 ldrd r0, [r0, #24]
704: ebfffffe bl 0 <dsa_8021q_tx_vid>
704: R_ARM_CALL dsa_8021q_tx_vid
Because we want to avoid possible performance regressions, introduce
this new function which is designed to be public.

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.
