    selftests: mlxsw: extack: Disable IPv6 autogen on bridges · a758dc46
    Petr Machata authored
    In a future patch, mlxsw will start adding RIFs to uppers of front panel
    port netdevices, if they have an IP address.
    
    At the time that the front panel port is enslaved to the bridge (this holds
    for all bridges used here), the bridge MAC address does not have the same
    prefix as other interfaces in the system. On Nvidia Spectrum-1 machines all
    the RIFs have to have the same 38-bit MAC address prefix. Since the bridge
    does not obey this limitation, the RIF cannot be created, and the
    enslavement attempt is vetoed on the grounds of the configuration not being
    offloadable.
    
    The selftest itself however checks whether a different vetoed aspect of the
    configuration provides an extack. The IP address or the RIF are irrelevant.
    
    Fix by disabling automatic IPv6 address generation for the HW-offloaded
    bridges in this selftest, thus exempting them from mlxsw router attention.
