net/mlx5: Disable RoCE on the e-switch management port under switchdev mode
Under the switchdev/offloads mode, packets that don't match any e-switch steering rule are sent towards the e-switch management port. We use a NIC HW steering rule set per vport (uplink and VFs) to make them be received into the host OS through the respective vport representor netdevice. Currnetly such missed RoCE packets will not get to this NIC steering rule, and hence VF RoCE will not work over the slow path of the offloads mode. This is b/c these packets will be matched by a steering rule added by the firmware that serves RoCE traffic set on the PF NIC vport which is also the e-switch management port under SRIOV. Disabling RoCE on the e-switch management vport when we are in the offloads mode, will signal to the firmware to remove their RoCE rule, and then the missed RoCE packets will be matched by the representor NIC steering rule as any other missed packets. To achieve that, we disable RoCE on the PF vport. We do that by removing (hot-unplugging) the IB device instance associated with the PF. This is also required by our current model where the PF serves as the uplink representor and hence only SW switching (TC, bridge, OVS) applications and slow path vport mlx5e net-device should be running over that vport.
