Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] net: VSI: Add virtual station interface support
This patch adds support for a new device type VSI (virtual station
interface) this device type exposes additional net devices complete
with queues and a MAC/VLAN pair to the host OS that are logically
stacked on top of a switching/routing component with the physical
link acting as the downlink to the peer switch.
The hardware on receive path will forward packets to the new VSI
net device using the forwarding database (FDB) already exposed via
the ndo ops ndo_fdb_{add|del|dump}. On transmit the hardware may
use either a VEB or VEPA. In the VEB case traffic may be "switched"
between VSI net devices by the hardware and in VEPA case all traffic
is sent to the adjacent switch. The hardware _should_ expose this
functionality via the ndo_bridge_{set|get}link ndo operations.
This net device should be functionally analogous to an offloaded
macvlan device with the ebridge component offloaded into hardware.
Also notice that for now the ixgbe implementation accompanying this
patch set only supports L2 forwarding the fdb interfaces could push
L3/L4 forwarding to the hardware for more advanced usages including
vxlan and other tunnel schemes.
