mlx5 Software steering, New features and optimizations
This patch series brings various SW steering features, optimizations and
debug-ability focused improvements.
1) Expose debugfs for dumping the SW steering resources
2) Removing unused fields
3) support for matching on new fields
4) steering optimization for RX/TX-only rules
5) Make Software steering the default steering mechanism when
available, applies only to Switchdev mode FDB
From Yevgeny Kliteynik and Muhammad Sammar:
- Patch 1 fixes an error flow in creating matchers
- Patch 2 fix lower case macro prefix "mlx5_" to "MLX5_"
- Patch 3 removes unused struct member in mlx5dr_matcher
- Patch 4 renames list field in matcher struct to list_node to reflect the
fact that is field is for list node that is stored on another struct's lists
- Patch 5 adds checking for valid Flex parser ID value
- Patch 6 adds the missing reserved fields to dr_match_param and aligns it to
the format that is defined by HW spec
- Patch 7 adds support for dumping SW steering (SMFS) resources using debugfs
in CSV format: domain and its tables, matchers and rules
- Patch 8 adds support for a new destination type - UPLINK
- Patch 9 adds WARN_ON_ONCE on refcount checks in SW steering object destructors
- Patches 10, 11, 12 add misc5 flow table match parameters and add support for
matching on tunnel headers 0 and 1
- Patch 13 adds support for matching on geneve_tlv_option_0_exist field
- Patch 14 implements performance optimization for for empty or RX/TX-only
matchers by splitting RX and TX matchers handling: matcher connection in the
matchers chain is split into two separate lists (RX only and TX only), which
solves a usecase of many RX or TX only rules that create a long chain of
RX/TX-only paths w/o the actual rules
- Patch 15 ignores modify TTL if device doesn't support it instead of
adding and unsupported action
- Patch 16 sets SMFS as a default steering mode

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.
