net/mlx5: Set SMFS as a default steering mode if device supports it
Set SMFS (SW-managed flow steering) as a default steering mode instead of DMFS (device-managed flow steering) In SMFS, the driver writes the STEs (Steering Table Entries) directly to the device's ICM, which allows for a higher rule insertion rate than through using FW command interface, as it is done in DMFS. SMFS/DMFS steering modes can be configured through devlink param 'flow_steering_mode'. The possible values are 'smfs' or 'dmfs'. The desired 'flow_steering_mode' param value should be set before enabling switchdev mode. Example: # devlink dev param set pci/0000:05:00.0 name flow_steering_mode smfs # devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:05:00.0 mode switchdev Signed-off-by: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@nvidia.com>
