======================================================================== From Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com>: This series from Paul adds support to mlx5 e-switch tc offloading of multiple priorities and chains. This is made of four building blocks (along with few minor driver refactors): [1] Split FDB fast path prio to multiple namespaces Currently the FDB name-space contains two priorities, fast path (p0) and slow path (p1). The slow path contains the per representor SQ send-to-vport TX rule and the match-all RX miss rule. As a pre-step to support multi-chains and priorities, we split the FDB fast path to multiple namespaces (sub namespaces), each with multiple priorities. [2] E-Switch chains and priorities A chain is a group of priorities. We use the fdb parallel sub-namespaces to implement chains, and a flow table for each priority in them. Because these namespaces are parallel and in series to the slow path fdb, the chains aren't connected to each other (but to the slow path), and one must use a explicit goto action to reach a different chain. Flow tables for the priorities are created on demand and destroyed once not used. [3] Add a no-append flow insertion mode, use it for TC offloads Enhance the driver fs core, such that if a no-append flag is set by the caller, we add a new FTE, instead of appending the actions of the inserted rule when the same match already exists. For encap rules, we defer the HW offloading till we have a valid neighbor. This can result in the packet hitting a lower priority rule in the HW DP. Use the no-append API to push these packets to the slow path FDB table, so they go to the TC kernel DP as done before priorities where supported. [4] Offloading tc priorities and chains for eswitch flows Using [1], [2] and [3] above we add the support for offloading both chains and priorities. To get to a new chain, use the tc goto action. We support a fixed prio range 1-16, and chains 0-3. ============================================================================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAABAgAGBQJbx6k1AAoJEEg/ir3gV/o+l40H/14rNaV27vefjuALgOvNX4DY iSI5UFv9ILnAemcD2xkVfJeGolwdzoRhCXJ5oyCylCPnP4tb9zgDgwu9V/WmIRG+ DOaPLu+0V6jqfEGO5sXJPMhJNUR8WWAjfu66htJ0Nc1HV2OM5eYrcvjaYCfW4Egr QFWGyq4sPyYcpbb7wURbhmkfs8Vwxcj9c2cZIfXo3VJsKxULqU9Mj5hZnirI1OAy UhjLssb/8wfHmwNcqETI9ae7O+vPDMLkxdQvpviEBI+HJ7vZ6op2X4lVEsn/Bx2E /KrHGQObkwim8thTOYkQeJtqptWbiRvkpNnwryUV1fwjWPl6X1r3bXH7RdeRwCg= =aFCc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mlx5-updates-2018-10-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux mlx5-updates-2018-10-17 ======================================================================== From Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com>: This series from Paul adds support to mlx5 e-switch tc offloading of multiple priorities and chains.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
