    selftests: mlxsw: qos_dscp_bridge: Disable IPv6 autogen on a bridge · 6349f9bb
    Petr Machata authored
    In a future patch, mlxsw will start adding RIFs to uppers of front panel
    port netdevices, if they have an IP address.
    
    At the time that the front panel port is enslaved to the bridge, the bridge
    MAC address does not have the same prefix as other interfaces in the
    system. On Nvidia Spectrum-1 machines all the RIFs have to have the same
    38-bit MAC address prefix. Since the bridge does not obey this limitation,
    the RIF cannot be created, and the enslavement attempt is vetoed on the
    grounds of the configuration not being offloadable.
    
    The selftest itself however checks DCB DSCP-based prioritization, and the
    bridge serves for its L2 forwarding capabilities, and does not need to
    participate in routing traffic. The IP address or the RIF are irrelevant.
    
    Fix by disabling automatic IPv6 address generation for the HW-offloaded
    bridge in this selftest, thus exempting it from mlxsw router attention.
