Amit Cohen 139ae87714 mlxsw: Add VXLAN bridge ports to same hardware domain as physical bridge ports
When hardware floods packets to bridge ports, but flooding to VXLAN bridge
port fails during encapsulation to one of the remote VTEPs, the packets are
trapped to CPU. In such case, the packets are marked with
skb->offload_fwd_mark, which means that packet was L2-forwarded in
hardware. Software data path repeats flooding, but packets which are
marked with skb->offload_fwd_mark will not be flooded by the bridge to
bridge ports which are in the same hardware domain as the ingress port.

Currently, mlxsw does not add VXLAN bridge ports to the same hardware
domain as physical bridge ports despite the fact that the device is able
to forward packets to and from VXLAN tunnels in hardware. In some scenarios
(as mentioned above) this can result in remote VTEPs receiving duplicate
packets. The packets are first flooded by hardware and after an
encapsulation failure, they are flooded again to all remote VTEPs by
software.

Solve this by adding VXLAN bridge ports to the same hardware domain as
physical bridge ports, so then nbp_switchdev_allowed_egress() will return
false also for VXLAN, and packets will not be sent twice from VXLAN device.

switchdev_bridge_port_offload() should get vxlan_dev not as const, so
some changes are required. Call switchdev API from
mlxsw_sp_bridge_vxlan_{join,leave}() which handle offload configurations.

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 reStructuredText 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.
