2020-07-29mlxsw: spectrum: Use different trap group for externally routed packetsIdo Schimmel
Cited commit mistakenly removed the trap group for externally routed packets (e.g., via the management interface) and grouped locally routed and externally routed packet traps under the same group, thereby subjecting them to the same policer. This can result in problems, for example, when FRR is restarted and suddenly all transient traffic is trapped to the CPU because of a default route through the management interface. Locally routed packets required to re-establish a BGP connection will never reach the CPU and the routing tables will not be re-populated. Fix this by using a different trap group for externally routed packets.

2020-06-01devlink: Add 'control' trap typeIdo Schimmel
This type is used for traps that trap control packets such as ARP request and IGMP query to the CPU. Do not report such packets to the kernel's drop monitor as they were not dropped by the device no encountered an exception during forwarding.

2020-06-01devlink: Add 'mirror' trap actionIdo Schimmel
The action is used by control traps such as IGMP query. The packet is flooded by the device, but also trapped to the CPU in order for the software bridge to mark the receiving port as a multicast router port. Such packets are marked with 'skb->offload_fwd_mark = 1' in order to prevent the software bridge from flooding them again.

2020-06-01devlink: Create dedicated trap group for layer 3 exceptionsIdo Schimmel
Packets that hit exceptions during layer 3 forwarding must be trapped to the CPU for the control plane to function properly. Create a dedicated group for them, so that user space could choose to assign a different policer for them.
