Roi Dayan Says: =============== Add support for SF tunnel offload Mlx5 driver only supports VF tunnel offload. To add support for SF tunnel offload the driver needs to: 1. Add send-to-vport metadata matching rules like done for VFs. 2. Set an indirect table for SF vport, same as VF vport. info smaller sub functions for better maintainability. rules from esw init phase to representor load phase. SFs could be created after esw initialized and thus the send-to-vport meta rules would not be created for those SFs. By moving the creation of the rules to representor load phase we ensure creating the rules also for SFs created later. =============== Lama Kayal Says: ================ Make flow steering API loosely coupled from mlx5e_priv, in a manner to introduce more readable and maintainable modules. Make TC's private, let mlx5e_flow_steering struct be dynamically allocated, and introduce its API to maintain the code via setters and getters instead of publicly exposing it. Introduce flow steering debug macros to provide an elegant finish to the decoupled flow steering API, where errors related to flow steering shall be reported via them. All flow steering related files will drop any coupling to mlx5e_priv, instead they will get the relevant members as input. Among these, fs_tt_redirect, fs_tc, and arfs. ================ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEGhZs6bAKwk/OTgTpSD+KveBX+j4FAmMEaToACgkQSD+KveBX +j7H1wf8DPInwK4MsgilUZFXNd03RJprlptami+Feev2wmuzOIOwyTxOc+VvowFM G6r0Yuqahg0z5oE7zgxMNNdtKevjqmaNLWuDtbvv4UQKt7hwJz28Y0Ezuz3L9sQS JVEQpII/FhUFzHoeDTbbJojKGTO7N8hS4D7ZB9wGeQc7M8PmLiUq19PURKwGDxUq EhNwEgxOzbd6S5OMGfD0bDOOK+TpntKctkXUpYh7rr6JlLQpor03cBfYrOx9DcST M3Yk9ianx4fmeOeyZAAZOEzUpBkwMt74SxelIcwAAei9bcNRRI3FoNLc+PcKJjz1 c567AeSzx/HYnaoydtGFOroq8lAwnw== =pgqu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mlx5-updates-2022-08-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux mlx5-updates-2022-08-22 Roi Dayan Says: =============== Add support for SF tunnel offload Mlx5 driver only supports VF tunnel offload.

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.
