Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add support for ECN mirroring Petr says: Patches in this set have been floating around for some time now together with trap_fwd support. That will however need more work, time for which is nowhere to be found, apparently. Instead, this patchset enables offload of only packet mirroring on RED mark qevent, enabling mirroring of ECN-marked packets. Formally it enables offload of filters added to blocks bound to the RED qevent mark if: - The switch ASIC is Spectrum-2 or above. - Only a single filter is attached at the block, at chain 0 (the default), and its classifier is matchall. - The filter has hw_stats set to disabled. - The filter has a single action, which is mirror. This differs from early_drop qevent offload, which supports mirroring and trapping. However trapping in context of ECN-marked packets is not suitable, because the HW does not drop the packet, as the trap action implies. And there is as of now no way to express only the part of trapping that transfers the packet to the SW datapath, sans the HW-datapath drop. The patchset progresses as follows: Patch #1 is an extack propagation. Mirroring of ECN-marked packets is configured in the ASIC through an ECN trigger, which is considered "egress", unlike the EARLY_DROP trigger. In patch #2, add a helper to classify triggers as ingress. As clarified above, traps cannot be offloaded on mark qevent. Similarly, given a trap_fwd action, it would not be offloadable on early_drop qevent. In patch #3, introduce support for tracking actions permissible on a given block. Patch #4 actually adds the mark qevent offload. In patch #5, fix a small style issue in one of the selftests, and in patch #6 add mark offload selftests. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
