octeontx2-af: Introduce internal packet switching
As of now any communication between CGXs PFs and their VFs within the system is possible only by external switches sending packets back to the system. This patch adds internal switching support. Broadcast packet replication is not covered here. RVU admin function (AF) maintains MAC addresses of all interfaces in the system. When switching is enabled, MCAM entries are allocated to install rules such that packets with DMAC matching any of the internal interface MAC addresses is punted back into the system via the loopback channel. On the receive side the default unicast rules are modified to not check for ingress channel. So any packet with matching DMAC irrespective of which interface it is coming from will be forwarded to the respective PF/VF interface. The transmit side rules and default unicast rules are updated if user changes MAC address of an interface. Signed-off-by:Subbaraya Sundeep <sbhatta@marvell.com> Signed-off-by:
