[PATCH net-next V3 06/15] net/mlx5e: ipsec: Move RX marker from ft_metadata to flow_tag

From: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com>
Date: 2026-09-03 08:54:35
Also in: bpf, linux-kselftest, linux-rdma, lkml
Subsystem: mellanox ethernet driver (mlx5e), mellanox ethernet innova drivers, mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Leon Romanovsky, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Cosmin Ratiu <redacted>

IPsec used BIT(31) in cqe.ft_metadata as a marker for ingress
IPsec-decrypted packets. This will conflict with PSP which stores SPI
in ft_metadata - an SPI with bit 31 set would falsely trigger
mlx5_ipsec_is_rx_flow().

Define a new marker for IPsec in flow_tag and use it in steering rules.
The obj_id stays in ft_metadata bits[23:0].
Remove the unused MARKER and SYNDROM (sic) macros.

This is only done for IPsec NIC RX flows. The esw path uses a different
mechanism and is unaffected: RX handling in mlx5e_rep_tc_receive() makes
use of a few bits in ft_metadata to detect and hand off IPsec packets to
mlx5e_ipsec_offload_handle_rx_skb().

An additional complication is that mlx5e_cqe_regb_chain() used the high
order bits of ft_metadata to differentiate between TC chains and
protocol markers. With the IPSec marker moving to flow_tag, this would
falsely trigger mlx5e_cqe_regb_chain() to believe the chain is set, when
in fact, ft_metadata is something completely different. Solve that by
requiring that the new flow_tag proto is NONE, since only those packets
can carry a chain id in ft_metadata.
