Linux kernel source tree
8c6254479b
In MACsec, it is possible to create multiple active TX SAs on a SC,
but only one such SA can be used at a time for transmission. This SA
is selected through the encoding_sa link parameter.
When there are 2 or more active TX SAs configured (encoding_sa=0):
ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on key 00 <KEY1>
ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 1 pn 1 on key 00 <KEY2>
... the traffic should be still sent via TX SA 0 as the encoding_sa was
not changed. However, the driver ignores the encoding_sa and overrides
it to SA 1 by installing the flow steering id of the newly created TX SA
into the SCI -> flow steering id hash map. The future packet tx
descriptors will point to the incorrect flow steering rule (SA 1).
This patch fixes the issue by avoiding the creation of the flow steering
rule for an active TX SA that is not the encoding_sa. The driver side
tx_sa object and the FW side macsec object are still created. When the
encoding_sa link parameter is changed to another active TX SA, only the
new flow steering rule will be created in the mlx5e_macsec_upd_txsa()
handler.

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.
