mlxsw: spectrum_router: Onload conflicting tunnels
The approach for offloading IP tunnels implemented currently by mlxsw
doesn't allow two tunnels that have the same local IP address in the
same (underlay) VRF. Previously, offloads were introduced on demand as
encap routes were formed. When such a route was created that would cause
offload of a conflicting tunnel, mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_create() would
detect it and return -EEXIST, which would propagate up and cause FIB
abort.
Now however IPIP entries are created as soon as an offloadable netdevice
is created, and the failure prevents creation of such device.
Furthermore, if the driver is installed at the point where such
conflicting tunnels exist, the failure actually prevents successful
modprobe.
Furthermore, follow-up patches implement handling of NETDEV_CHANGE due
to the local address change. However, NETDEV_CHANGE can't be vetoed. The
failure merely means that the offloads weren't updated, but the change
in Linux configuration is not rolled back. It is thus desirable to have
a robust way of handling these conflicts, which can later be reused for
handling NETDEV_CHANGE as well.
To fix this, when a conflicting tunnel is created, instead of failing,
simply pull the old tunnel to slow path and reject offloading the
new one.
Introduce two functions: mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_demote_tunnel() and
mlxsw_sp_ipip_demote_tunnel_by_saddr() to handle this. Make them both
public, because they will be useful later on in this patchset.
