Before layer 2 forwarding, the device classifies an incoming packet to a FID. After classification, the FID is known, but also all the attributes of the FID, such as the router interface (RIF) via which a packet that needs to be routed will ingress the router block. For VLAN-aware bridges (802.1Q), the FID classification is done according to VID. When a RIF is added on top of a FID, the existing VID->FID mapping should be updated by the software with the new RIF. We never map multiple VLANs to the same FID using VID->FID, so we cannot create VID->FID for FID which already has a RIF using 802.1Q. Anyway, verify that packets can be routed via port which is added after the FID already has a RIF. Add a test to verify that packets can be routed after VID->FID classification, regardless of the order of the configuration. # ./ingress_rif_conf_1q.sh TEST: Add RIF for existing VID->FID mapping [ OK ] TEST: Add port to VID->FID mapping for FID with a RIF [ OK ] Signed-off-by: Amit Cohen <amcohen@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
