mlxsw: spectrum: Add the multicast routing offloading logic
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add the multicast router offloading logic, which is in charge of handling
the VIF and MFC notifications and translating it to the hardware logic API.

The offloading logic has to overcome several obstacles in order to safely
comply with the kernel multicast router user API:
 - It must keep track of the mapping between VIFs to netdevices. The user
   can add an MFC cache entry pointing to a VIF, delete the VIF and add
   re-add it with a different netdevice. The offloading logic has to handle
   this in order to be compatible with the kernel logic.
 - It must keep track of the mapping between netdevices to spectrum RIFs,
   as the current hardware implementation assume having a RIF for every
   port in a multicast router.
 - It must handle routes pointing to pimreg device to be trapped to the
   kernel, as the packet should be delivered to userspace.
 - It must handle routes pointing tunnel VIFs. The current implementation
   does not support multicast forwarding to tunnels, thus routes that point
   to a tunnel should be trapped to the kernel.
 - It must be aware of proxy multicast routes, which include both (*,*)
   routes and duplicate routes. Currently proxy routes are not offloaded
   and trigger the abort mechanism: removal of all routes from hardware and
   triggering the traffic to go through the kernel.

The multicast routing offloading logic also updates the counters of the
offloaded MFC routes in a periodic work.
