net: ethernet: ti: enable bc/mc storm prevention support
This series first adds supports for the ALE feature to rate limit number ingress
broadcast(BC)/multicast(MC) packets per/sec which main purpose is BC/MC storm
prevention.
And then enables corresponding support for ingress broadcast(BC)/multicast(MC)
packets rate limiting for TI CPSW switchdev and AM65x/J221E CPSW_NUSS drivers by
implementing HW offload for simple tc-flower with policer action with matches
on dst_mac/mask:
- ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff has to be used for BC packets rate
limiting (exact match)
- 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 fixed value has to be used for MC
packets rate limiting
The CPSW supports MC/BC packets rate limiting in packets/sec and affects
all ingress MC/BC packets and serves as BC/MC storm prevention feature.
Examples:
- BC rate limit to 1000pps:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 clsact
tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower skip_sw dst_mac ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff \
action police pkts_rate 1000 pkts_burst 1 drop
- MC rate limit to 20000pps:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 clsact
tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower skip_sw dst_mac 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 \
action police rate pkts_rate 20000 pkts_burst 1 drop
pkts_burst - not used.
The solution inspired patch from Vladimir Oltean [1].
Changes in v3:
- comments applied
- policer validation added
Changes in v2:
- switch to packet-per-second policing introduced by

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 Restructured Text 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.
