net/mlx5: Create TC-miss priority and table
In order to adhere to kernel software datapath model bridge offloads must come after TC and NF FDBs. Following patches in this series add new FDB priority for bridge after FDB_FT_OFFLOAD. However, since netfilter offload is implemented with unmanaged tables, its miss path is not automatically connected to next priority and requires the code to manually connect with slow table. To keep bridge offloads encapsulated and not mix it with eswitch offloads, create a new FDB_TC_MISS priority between FDB_FT_OFFLOAD and FDB_SLOW_PATH: + | +---------v----------+ | | | FDB_TC_OFFLOAD | | | +---------+----------+ | | | +---------v----------+ | | | FDB_FT_OFFLOAD | | | +---------+----------+ | | | +---------v----------+ | | | FDB_TC_MISS | | | +---------+----------+ | | | +---------v----------+ | | | FDB_SLOW_PATH | | | +---------+----------+ | v Initialize the new priority with single default empty managed table and use the table as TC/NF miss patch instead of slow table. This approach allows bridge offloads to be created as new FDB namespace priority between FDB_TC_MISS and FDB_SLOW_PATH without exposing its internal tables to any other modules since miss path of managed TC-miss table is automatically wired to next priority.
