      mlxsw: spectrum: Fix ECN marking in tunnel decapsulation · 66167c31
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Cited commit changed the behavior of the software data path with regards
      to the ECN marking of decapsulated packets. However, the commit did not
      change other callers of __INET_ECN_decapsulate(), namely mlxsw. The
      driver is using the function in order to ensure that the hardware and
      software data paths act the same with regards to the ECN marking of
      decapsulated packets.
      
      The discrepancy was uncovered by commit 5aa3c334 ("selftests:
      forwarding: vxlan_bridge_1d: Fix vxlan ecn decapsulate value") that
      aligned the selftest to the new behavior. Without this patch the
      selftest passes when used with veth pairs, but fails when used with
      mlxsw netdevs.
      
      Fix this by instructing the device to propagate the ECT(1) mark from the
      outer header to the inner header when the inner header is ECT(0), for
      both NVE and IP-in-IP tunnels.
      
      A helper is added in order not to duplicate the code between both tunnel
      types.
