Merge branch 'mlxsw-add-support-for-blackhole-nexthops'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add support for blackhole nexthops This patch set adds support for blackhole nexthops in mlxsw. These nexthops are exactly the same as other nexthops, but instead of forwarding packets to an egress router interface (RIF), they are programmed to silently drop them. Patches #1-#4 are preparations. Patch #5 adds support for blackhole nexthops and removes the check that prevented them from being programmed. Patch #6 adds a selftests over mlxsw which tests that blackhole nexthops can be programmed and are marked as offloaded. Patch #7 extends the existing nexthop forwarding test to also test blackhole functionality. Patches #8-#10 add support for a new packet trap ('blackhole_nexthop') which should be triggered whenever packets are dropped by a blackhole nexthop. Obviously, by default, the trap action is set to 'drop' so that dropped packets will not be reported. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201123071230.676469-1-idosch@idosch.orgSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
