      ====================
      ice: switchdev bridge offload
      
      Wojciech Drewek says:
      
      Linux bridge provides ability to learn MAC addresses and vlans
      detected on bridge's ports. As a result of this, FDB (forward data base)
      entries are created and they can be offloaded to the HW. By adding
      VF's port representors to the bridge together with the uplink netdev,
      we can learn VF's and link partner's MAC addresses. This is achieved
      by slow/exception-path, where packets that do not match any filters
      (FDB entries in this case) are send to the bridge ports.
      
      Driver keeps track of the netdevs added to the bridge
      by listening for NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event. We distinguish two types
      of bridge ports: uplink port and VF's representor port. Linux
      bridge always learns src MAC of the packet on rx path. With the
      current slow-path implementation, it means that we will learn
      VF's MAC on port repr (when the VF transmits the packet) and
      link partner's MAC on uplink (when we receive it on uplink from LAN).
      
      The driver is notified about learning of the MAC/VLAN by
      SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD|DEL}_TO_DEVICE events. This is followed by creation
      of the HW filter. The direction of the filter is based on port
      type (uplink or VF repr). In case of the uplink, rule forwards
      the packets to the LAN (matching on link partner's MAC). When the
      notification is received on VF repr then the rule forwards the
      packets to the associated VF (matching on VF's MAC).
      
      This approach would not work on its own however. This is because if
      one of the directions is offloaded, then the bridge would not be able
      to learn the other one. If the egress rule is added (learned on uplink)
      then the response from the VF will be sent directly to the LAN.
      The packet will not got through slow-path, it would not be seen on
      VF's port repr. Because of that, the bridge would not learn VF's MAC.
      
      This is solved by introducing guard rule. It prevents forward rule from
      working until the opposite direction is offloaded.
      
      Aging is not fully supported yet, aging time is static for now. The
      follow up submissions will introduce counters that will allow us to
      keep track if the rule is actually being used or not.
      
      A few fixes/changes are needed for this feature to work with ice driver.
      These are introduced in first 5 patches.
