Jianbo Liu aa2961e19f net/mlx5e: Skip IPSec RX policy check for crypto offload
For crypto offload, there is no xfrm policy rule offloaded to
hardware, so no need to continue with policy check for it.

Previously, for crypto offload, the hardware metadata reg c4 is not
used and not changed, but set to ASO_OK(0) before decryption to avoid
garbage data. Then a default rule is added to check ipsec_syndrome and
this register. Packets are forwarded to policy table if succeed, or
drop if fails.

According to hardware document, this register value could be 0, 1.
So a special value (0xAA), which is not used by hardware, is chosen as
an indication for crypto offload. It is set to c4 before decryption.
Then a default rule, which matches on 0xAA (and ipsec_syndrome on 0),
is added, which means packets are done by crypto offload, and
sends them to kernel directly, thus skips the policy check.

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.
