When a VXLAN device is attached to an offloaded bridge, or when a
front-panel port is attached to a bridge that already has a VXLAN
device, mlxsw should offload the existing offloadable FDB entries.
Similarly when VXLAN device is downed, the FDB entries are unoffloaded,
and
From: Petr Machata
Any existing NVE FDB entries need to be offloaded when NVE is enabled
for a given FID. Recent patches have added fdb_replay op for this, so
just invoke it from mlxsw_sp_nve_fid_enable().
When NVE is disabled on a FID, any existing FDB offloaded marks need to
be cleared on NVE
From: Petr Machata
If there are any offloaded FDB entries at bridge master of an NVE device
at the time that it's un-offloaded, their offloaded marks need to be
cleared. How that is done depends on whether the bridge in question is
vlan aware. Therefore add a per-FID-type operation.

When using VLAN-aware bridges with VXLAN, the VLAN that is mapped to the
VNI of the VXLAN device is that which is configured as "pvid untagged"
on the corresponding bridge port.
When these flags are toggled or when the VLAN is deleted entirely,
remote hosts should not be able to receive packets

When a driver unoffloads all FDB entries en bloc, it's inefficient to
send the switchdev notification one by one. Add a helper that walks the
FDB table, unsetting the offload flag on RDST with a given VNI.

When a VXLAN device becomes relevant to a driver (such as when it is
attached to an offloaded bridge), the driver will generally need to walk
the existing FDB entries and offload them.
Add a function vxlan_fdb_replay() to call a given notifier block for
each FDB entry with a

A replay of FDB needs to be performed so that the FDB entries existing
at the NVE device are offloaded. How the replay is done depends on NVE

From: Petr Machata
A follow-up patch will add support for replay and for clearing of
offload marks. These are NVE type-sensitive operations, and to be able
to dispatch them properly, a FID needs to know what NVE type is attached
to it.
Therefore, track the NVE type at struct mlxsw_sp_fid.

There are currently two places that need to initialize the notifier info
structure, and one more is coming next when vxlan_fdb_replay() is
introduced. These three instances have / will have very similar code

Now that the bridge multicast uses the generic rhashtable interface we
can drop the hash_elasticity option as that is already done for us and
it's hardcoded to a maximum of RHT_ELASTICITY (16 currently). Add a
warning about the obsolete option when the hash_elasticity is set.
Signed-off-by:
The bridge multicast code currently uses a custom resizable hashtable
which predates the generic rhashtable interface. It has many
shortcomings compared and duplicates functionality that is presently
available via the generic rhashtable, so this patch removes the custom
rhashtable implementation
The bridge multicast code has been using a mix of RCU and RCU-bh flavors
sometimes in questionable way. Since we've moved to rhashtable just use
non-bh RCU everywhere. In addition this simplifies freeing of objects
and allows us to remove some unnecessary callback functions.
