Ido Schimmel 5bae63d9b7 mlxsw: spectrum_fid: Store ifindex of NVE device in FID
The driver periodically polls for new FDB entries learned by the device.
In the case of an FDB entry learned from a VxLAN tunnel, the
notification includes the IP of the remote VTEP, the filtering
identifier (FID) and the source MAC address of the overlay packet.

Assuming learning is enabled in the VxLAN and bridge drivers, the driver
needs to generate a notification and update them about the new FDB
entry.

Store the ifindex of the NVE device in the FID so that the driver will
be able to update the VxLAN and bridge drivers using it.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
