Yotam says:
Previous patchset introduced support for offloading multicast MFC routes to
the Spectrum hardware. As described in that patchset, no partial offloading
is supported, i.e if a route has one output interface which is not a valid
offloadable device (e.g. pimreg device, dummy device, management NIC), the
route is trapped to the CPU and the forwarding is done in slow-path.
Add support for partial offloading of multicast routes, by letting the
hardware to forward the packet to all the in-hardware devices, while the
kernel ipmr module will continue forwarding to all other interfaces.
Similarly to the bridge, the kernel ipmr module will forward a marked
packet to an interface only if the interface has a different parent ID than
the packet's ingress interfaces.
The first patch introduces the offload_mr_fwd_mark skb field, which can be
used by offloading drivers to indicate that a packet had already gone
through multicast forwarding in hardware, similarly to the offload_fwd_mark
field that indicates that a packet had already gone through L2 forwarding
in hardware.
Patches 2 and 3 change the ipmr module to not forward packets that had
already been forwarded by the hardware, i.e. packets that are marked with
offload_mr_fwd_mark and the ingress VIF shares the same parent ID with the
egress VIF.
Patches 4, 5, 6 and 7 add the support in the mlxsw Spectrum driver for trap
and forward routes, while marking the trapped packets with the
offload_mr_fwd_mark.
Yotam Gigi (7):
skbuff: Add the offload_mr_fwd_mark field
ipv4: ipmr: Add the parent ID field to VIF struct
ipv4: ipmr: Don't forward packets already forwarded by hardware
mlxsw: acl: Introduce ACL trap and forward action
mlxsw: spectrum: Add trap for multicast trap-and-forward routes
mlxsw: spectrum: mr_tcam: Add trap-and-forward multicast route
mlxsw: spectrum: mr: Support trap-and-forward routes
