Updates highlights:
1) From Vu Pham (8): Support VM traffics failover with bonded VF
representors and e-switch egress/ingress ACLs
This series introduce the support for Virtual Machine running I/O
traffic over direct/fast VF path and failing over to slower
paravirtualized path using the following features:

Summary:
--------
Problem statement:
------------------
Currently in above topology, when netfailover device is configured using
VFs and eswitch VF representors, and when traffic fails over to stand-by
VF which is exposed using macvtap device to guest VM, eswitch fails to
switch the traffic to the stand-by VF representor. This occurs because
there is no knowledge at eswitch level of the stand-by representor
device.
Solution:
---------
Using standard bonding driver, a bond netdevice is created over VF
representor device which is used for offloading tc rules.
Two VF representors are bonded together, one for the passthrough VF
device and another one for the stand-by VF device.
With this solution, mlx5 driver listens to the failover events
occuring at the bond device level to failover traffic to either of
the active VF representor of the bond.
a. VM with netfailover device of VF pass-thru (PT) device and virtio-net
paravirtualized device with same MAC-address to handle failover
traffics at VM level.
b. Host bond is active-standby mode, with the lower devices being the VM
VF PT representor, and the representor of the 2nd VF to handle
failover traffics at Hypervisor/V-Switch OVS level.
- During the steady state (fast datapath): set the bond active
device to be the VM PT VF representor.
- During failover: apply bond failover to the second VF representor
device which connects to the VM non-accelerated path.
c. E-Switch ingress/egress ACL tables to support failover traffics at
E-Switch level
I. E-Switch egress ACL with forward-to-vport rule:
- By default, eswitch vport egress acl forward packets to its
counterpart NIC vport.
- During port failover, the egress acl forward-to-vport rule will
be added to e-switch vport of passive/in-active slave VF
representor
to forward packets to other e-switch vport ie. the active slave
representor's e-switch vport to handle egress "failover"
traffics.
- Using lower change netdev event to detect a representor is a
lower
dev (slave) of bond and becomes active, adding egress acl
forward-to-vport rule of all other slave netdevs to forward to
this
representor's vport.
- Using upper change netdev event to detect a representor unslaving
from bond device to delete its vport's egress acl forward-to-vport
rule.
II. E-Switch ingress ACL metadata reg_c for match
- Bonded representors' vorts sharing tc block have the same
root ingress acl table and a unique metadata for match.
- Traffics from both representors's vports will be tagged with same
unique metadata reg_c.
- Using upper change netdev event to detect a representor
enslaving/unslaving from bond device to setup shared root ingress
acl and unique metadata.
