mlxsw: Allow 802.1d and .1ad VxLAN bridges to coexist on Spectrum>=2
Ido Schimmel says:
====================
This patchset allows user space to simultaneously configure both 802.1d
and 802.1ad VxLAN bridges on Spectrum-2 and later ASICs. 802.1ad VxLAN
bridges are still forbidden on Spectrum-1.
The reason for the current limitation is that up until now the EtherType
that was pushed to decapsulated VxLAN packets was a property of the
tunnel port, of which there is only one. This meant that a 802.1ad VxLAN
bridge could not be configured if the tunnel port was already configured
to push a 802.1q tag.
This patchset improves the situation by making two changes. First,
decapsulated packets are marked as having their EtherType decided by the
egress port. Second, local ports member in the bridge (e.g., swp1) are
configured to set the correct egress EtherType.
Patchset overview:
Patch #1 adds a register required for the first change
Patches #2-#3 add the register required for the second change and a
corresponding API
Patch #4 prepares the driver for the split in behavior between
Spectrum-1 and later ASICs
Patch #5 performs the two above mentioned changes to allow the driver to
support simultaneous 802.1ad and 802.1d VxLAN bridges on Spectrum-2 and
later ASICs
Patch #6 adds a selftest
Patch #7 removes a selftest that verified the limitation that was lifted
by this patchset
