mlxsw: spectrum: Split vFID range in two
Up until now we used a 1:1 mapping - based on VID - to map a VLAN interface to a vFID. However, a different scheme is needed in order to support bridges between VLAN interfaces, as all the member interfaces - which can have different VIDs - need to share the same vFID. Solve that by splitting the vFID range in two: 1. Non-bridged VLAN interfaces 2. Bridged VLAN interfaces When a VLAN interface is created, assign it the next available vFID in the first range, unless one already exists for that VID or number of vFIDs in the range was exceeded. When interface is removed, free the vFID, unless other interfaces are mapped to it. To accomplish the above: 1. Store the VID to vFID mapping in a new struct (mlxsw_sp_vfid), which has a global context and holds a reference count. 2. Create a vPort (dummy in case of bridge SELF invocation) on top of of the physical port and hold a reference to the associated vFID. vfid vfid +-------------+ +-------------+ | vfid | | vfid | | vid +---> ... | vid | | nr_vports | | nr_vports | +------+------+ +------+------+ | +-----------------------+-------+ | | vport vport +-------------+ +-------------+ | ... | | ... | | *vfid +---> ... | *vfid +---> ... | ... | | ... | +------+------+ +------+------+ | | port port +-------------+ +-------------+ | ... | | ... | | vports_list | | vports_list | | ... | | ... | +-------------+ +-------------+ swXpY swXpZ Next patches in the series will add the missing infrastructure for the second range and transfer vPorts between the two ranges according to the received notifications.
