Create new files bridge.{c|h} in en/rep directory that implement bridge
interaction with representor netdevices and handle required
events/notifications, bridge.{c|h} in esw directory that implement all
necessary eswitch offloading infrastructure and works on vport/eswitch
level. Provide new kconfig MLX5_BRIDGE which is automatically selected when
both kernel bridge and mlx5 eswitch configs are enabled.
Provide basic infrastructure for bridge offloads:
- struct mlx5_esw_bridge_offloads - per-eswitch bridge offload structure
that encapsulates generic bridge-offloads data (notifier blocks, ingress
flow table/group, etc.) that is created/deleted on enable/disable eswitch
offloads.
- struct mlx5_esw_bridge - per-bridge structure that encapsulates
per-bridge data (reference counter, FDB, egress flow table/group, etc.)
that is created when first eswitch represetor is attached to new bridge and
deleted when last representor is removed from the bridge as a result of
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event.
The bridge tables are created with new priority FDB_BR_OFFLOAD in FDB
namespace. The new priority is between tc-miss and slow path priorities.
Priority consist of two levels: the ingress table that is global per
eswitch and matches incoming packets by src_mac/vid and redirects them to
next level (egress table) that is chosen according to ingress port bridge
membership and matches on dst_mac/vid in order to redirect packet to vport
according to the following diagram:
