Dima Chumak 8348b71ccd net/mlx5: Introduce software defined steering capabilities
There are two different internal steering modes, abstracted from the
rest of the driver. In order to keep upper layer of the driver agnostic
to the differences in capabilities of the steering modes, this patch
introduces mlx5_fs_get_capabilities() API to check if a certain software
defined capability is supported. It differs from the capabilities
exposed by the hardware, as it takes into account the flow steering mode
(SMFS/DMFS) currently enabled.

This implementation supports only two capability flags:

  MLX5_FLOW_STEERING_CAP_VLAN_PUSH_ON_RX
  MLX5_FLOW_STEERING_CAP_VLAN_POP_ON_TX

They map to DR_ACTION_STATE_PUSH_VLAN and DR_ACTION_STATE_POP_VLAN
actions, implemented in SW steering earlier in commit f5e22be534
("net/mlx5: DR, Split modify VLAN state to separate pop/push states").
Which enables using of pop/push vlan without restrictions, e.g. doing
vlan pop on TX and RX, compared to FW steering that supports only vlan
pop on RX and push on TX.

Other capabilities can be added in the future.

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.
