From: Petr Machata
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
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

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.

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
device type, and therefore add a per-NVE-type operation.

The notifier block will need to be passed to vxlan_fdb_replay() in a

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.

When a driver unoffloads all FDB entries en bloc, it's inefficient to
send the switchdev notification one by one. Add a helper that unsets the
offload flag on FDB entries on a given bridge port and VLAN.

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.

each FDB entry with a

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
