    nfp: flower: allow offloading of matches on 'internal' ports · 4d12ba42
    John Hurley authored
    Recent FW modifications allow the offloading of non repr ports. These
    ports exist internally on the NFP. So if a rule outputs to an 'internal'
    port, then the packet will recirculate back into the system but will now
    have this internal port as it's incoming port. These ports are indicated
    by a specific type field combined with an 8 bit port id.
    
    Add private app data to assign additional port ids for use in offloads.
    Provide functions to lookup or create new ids when a rule attempts to
    match on an internal netdev - the only internal netdevs currently
    supported are of type openvswitch. Have a netdev notifier to release
    port ids on netdev unregister.
    
    OvS offloads rules that match on internal ports as TC egress filters.
    Ensure that such rules are accepted by the driver.
