mlxsw: Add support for buffer drop traps
Petr says:
A recent patch set added the ability to mirror buffer related drops
(e.g., early drops) through a netdev. This patch set adds the ability to
trap such packets to the local CPU for analysis.
The trapping towards the CPU is configured by using tc-trap action
instead of tc-mirred as was done when the packets were mirrored through
a netdev. A future patch set will also add the ability to sample the
dropped packets using tc-sample action.
The buffer related drop traps are added to devlink, which means that the
dropped packets can be reported to user space via the kernel's
drop_monitor module.
Patch set overview:
Patch #1 adds the early_drop trap to devlink
Patch #2 adds extack to a few devlink operations to facilitate better
error reporting to user space. This is necessary - among other things -
because the action of buffer drop traps cannot be changed in mlxsw
Patch #3 performs a small refactoring in mlxsw, patch #4 fixes a bug that
this patchset would trigger.
Patches #5-#6 add the infrastructure required to support different traps
/ trap groups in mlxsw per-ASIC. This is required because buffer drop
traps are not supported by Spectrum-1
Patch #7 extends mlxsw to register the early_drop trap
Patch #8 adds the offload logic for the "trap" action at a qevent block.
Patch #9 adds a mlxsw-specific selftest.
