Merge branch 'mlxsw-support-for-nexthop-group-statistics'
Petr Machata says: ==================== mlxsw: Support for nexthop group statistics ECMP is a fundamental component in L3 designs. However, it's fragile. Many factors influence whether an ECMP group will operate as intended: hash policy (i.e. the set of fields that contribute to ECMP hash calculation), neighbor validity, hash seed (which might lead to polarization) or the type of ECMP group used (hash-threshold or resilient). At the same time, collection of statistics that would help an operator determine that the group performs as desired, is difficult. Support for nexthop group statistics and their HW collection has been introduced recently. In this patch set, add HW stats collection support to mlxsw. This patchset progresses as follows: - Patches #1 and #2 add nexthop IDs to notifiers. - Patches #3 and #4 are code-shaping. - Patches #5, #6 and #7 adjust the flow counter code. - Patches #8 and #9 add HW nexthop counters. - Patch #10 adjusts the HW counter code to allow sharing the same counter for several resilient group buckets with the same NH ID. - Patch #11 adds a selftest. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1709901020.git.petrm@nvidia.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
