Hi, From: Hamdan Igbaria <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2025 1:04 PM To: Hamdan Agbariya; Slava Ovsiienko; NBU-Contact-Thomas Monjalon (EXTERNAL); Suanming Mou; Dariusz Sosnowski; Bing Zhao; Ori Kam; Matan Azrad Cc: [email protected]; Erez Shitrit Subject: [PATCH 1/8] net/mlx5/hws: introduce capability for unified mode
From: Erez Shitrit <[email protected]> Till now the FDB processing domain is split into two mutually exclusive sub domains FDB_RX and FDB_TX. Packets originating from the Uplink(s) are processed in the FDB_RX sub domain, while packets originating from all other Vports are processed in the FDB_TX sub domain. Now adding new sub domain: FDB_UNIFIED which can process packets originated by any VPORT / WIRE. This new domain will process actions only that allowed on both RX and TX domains. That way the user can define specifically the domain he wants the packet to be processed, whenever it is RX/TX only he will use FDB_RX/TX, or whenever it can by FDB_UNIFIED.
