Merge branch 'mlxsw-L3-HW-stats-improvements'
Ido Schimmel says:
==================== mlxsw: L3 HW stats improvements
While testing L3 HW stats [1] on top of mlxsw, two issues were found:
1. Stats cannot be enabled for more than 205 netdevs. This was fixed in commit 4b7a632ac4e7 ("mlxsw: spectrum_cnt: Reorder counter pools").
2. ARP packets are counted as errors. Patch #1 takes care of that. See the commit message for details.
The goal of the majority of the rest of the patches is to add selftests that would have discovered that only about 205 netdevs can have L3 HW stats supported, despite the HW supporting much more. The obvious place to plug this in is the scale test framework.
The scale tests are currently testing two things: that some number of instances of a given resource can actually be created; and that when an attempt is made to create more than the supported amount, the failures are noted and handled gracefully.
However the ability to allocate the resource does not mean that the resource actually works when passing traffic. For that, make it possible for a given scale to also test traffic.
To that end, this patchset adds traffic tests. The goal of these is to run traffic and observe whether a sample of the allocated resource instances actually perform their task. Traffic tests are only run on the positive leg of the scale test (no point trying to pass traffic when the expected outcome is that the resource will not be allocated). They are opt-in, if a given test does not expose it, it is not run.
The patchset proceeds as follows:
- Patches #2 and #3 add to "devlink resource" support for number of allocated RIFs, and the capacity. This is necessary, because when evaluating how many L3 HW stats instances it should be possible to allocate, the limiting resource on Spectrum-2 and above currently is not the counters themselves, but actually the RIFs.
- Patch #6 adds support for invocation of a traffic test, if a given scale tests exposes it.
- Patch #7 adds support for skipping a given scale test. Because on Spectrum-2 and above, the limiting factor to L3 HW stats instances is actually the number of RIFs, there is no point in running the failing leg of a scale tests, because it would test exhaustion of RIFs, not of RIF counters.
- With patch #8, the scale tests drivers pass the target number to the cleanup function of a scale test.
- In patch #9, add a traffic test to the tc_flower selftests. This makes sure that the flow counters installed with the ACLs actually do count as they are supposed to.
- In patch #10, add a new scale selftest for RIF counter scale, including a traffic test.
- In patch #11, the scale target for the tc_flower selftest is dynamically set instead of being hard coded.

selftests: mlxsw: Add a RIF counter scale test
This tests creates as many RIFs as possible, ideally more than there can be RIF counters (though that is currently only possible on Spectrum-1). It then tries to enable L3 HW stats on each of the RIFs. It also contains the traffic test, which tries to run traffic through a log2 of those counters and checks that the traffic is shown in the counter values.
Like with tc_flower traffic test, take a log2 subset of rules. The logic behind picking log2 rules is that then every bit of the instantiated item's number is exercised. This should catch issues whether they happen at the high end, low end, or somewhere in between.

selftests: mlxsw: resource_scale: Pass target count to cleanup
The scale tests are verifying behavior of mlxsw when number of instances of some resource reaches the ASIC capacity. The number of instances is referred to as "target" number.
No scale tests so far needed to know this target number to clean up. E.g. the tc_flower simply removes the clsact qdisc that all the tested filters are hooked onto, and that takes care of collecting all the filters.
However, for the RIF counter test, which is being added in a future patch, VLAN netdevices are created. These are created as part of the test, but of course the cleanup needs to undo them again. For that it needs to know how many there were. To support this usage, pass the target number to the cleanup callback.

selftests: mlxsw: resource_scale: Allow skipping a test
The scale tests are currently testing two things: that some number of instances of a given resource can actually be created; and that when an attempt is made to create more than the supported amount, the failures are noted and handled gracefully.
Sometimes the scale test depends on more than one resource. In particular, a following patch will add a RIF counter scale test, which depends on the number of RIF counters that can be bound, and also on the number of RIFs that can be created.
When the test is limited by the auxiliary resource and not by the primary one, there's no point trying to run the overflow test, because it would be testing exhaustion of the wrong resource.
To support this use case, when the $test_get_target yields 0, skip the test instead.
