Ido Schimmel 32fd4b49a3 mlxsw: spectrum_router: Do not destroy RIFs based on FID's reference count
Currently, when a RIF is constructed on top of a FID, the RIF increments
the FID's reference count and the RIF is destroyed when the FID's
reference count drops to 1. This effectively means that when no local
ports are member in the FID, the FID is destroyed regardless if the
router port is a member in the FID or not.

The above can lead to the unexpected behavior in which routes using a
VLAN interface as their nexthop device are no longer offloaded after the
last local port leaves the corresponding VLAN (FID).

Example:
# ip -4 route show dev br0.10
192.0.2.0/24 proto kernel scope link src 192.0.2.1 offload
# bridge vlan del vid 10 dev swp3
# ip -4 route show dev br0.10
192.0.2.0/24 proto kernel scope link src 192.0.2.1

After the patch, the route is offloaded before and after the VLAN is
removed from local port 'swp3', as the RIF corresponding to 'br0.10'
continues to exists.

In order to remove RIFs' reliance on the underlying FID's reference
count, we need to add a reference count to sub-port RIFs, which are RIFs
that correspond to physical ports and their uppers (e.g., LAG devices).

In this case, each {Port, VID} ('struct mlxsw_sp_port_vlan') needs to
hold a reference on the RIF. For example:

                       bond0.10
                          |
                        bond0
                          |
                      +-------+
                      |       |
                    swp1    swp2

Both {Port 1, VID 10} and {Port 2, VID 10} will hold a reference on the
RIF corresponding to 'bond0.10'. When the last reference is dropped, the
RIF will be destroyed.

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.
