------- Comment From niklas.schne...@ibm.com 2020-04-23 08:56 EDT-------
Sebastian has supplied me with the following information for reproducing the 
issue and is currently working on a backport:

echo 1 > /sys/class/net/p0/device/sriov_numvfs
echo 0101:00:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/unbind
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0100:00:00.0 mode switchdev
ethtool -K p0 hw-tc-offload on
echo 0101:00:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/bind
tc qdisc add dev p0 ingress
tc qdisc add dev p0v0_r ingress
tc filter add dev p0v0_r protocol ip parent ffff:0 prio 1 flower skip_sw action 
pedit ex munge eth dst set 11:22:33:44:55:66 action goto chain 1

Without the patch the last command would fail with the following output
in dmesg

[ 548.966006] mlx5_core 0100:00:00.0: mlx5_cmd_check:711:(pid 5220):
SET_FLOW_TABLE_ENTRY(0x936) op_mod(0x0) failed, status bad
parameter(0x3), syndrome (0x144b7a)

This was only tested on Z but we suspect that the same problem should
also occur on other Big Endian architectures

Title:
  [Ubuntu 20.04] net/mlx5e: Fix endianness handling in pedit mask

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Incomplete
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Issue found in the Mellanox mlx5 device driver:

  The mask value is provided as 64 bit and has to be casted in
  either 32 or 16 bit. On big endian systems the wrong half was
  casted which resulted in an all zero mask.

  We need to get the upstream commit picked up for the Ubuntu 20.04
  kernel.
