Subject: [PATCH net-next 13/13] selftests: mlxsw: Add a test for UC behavior under MC flood

From: Petr Machata <petrm@...lanox.com>

A so-called "MC-aware" mode has recently been enabled in mlxsw. In
MC-aware mode, BUM traffic is handled in a special way so that when a
switch is flooded with BUM, UC performance isn't unduly impacted.
Without enablement of this mode, a stream of BUM traffic can cause
sustained UC throughput drop in excess of 99 %.

Add a test for this behavior. Compare how much UC throughput degrades as
a stream of broadcast frames floods the switch. A minimal degradation is
tolerated to cover for glitches in traffic injection performance.

+# A test for switch behavior under MC overload. An issue in Spectrum chips
+# causes throughput of UC traffic to drop severely when a switch is under heavy
+# MC load. This issue can be overcome by putting the switch to MC-aware mode.
+# This test verifies that UC performance stays intact even as the switch is
+# under MC flood, and therefore that the MC-aware mode is enabled and correctly
+# configured.
+#
+# Because mlxsw throttles CPU port, the traffic can't actually reach userspace
+# at full speed. That makes it impossible to use iperf3 to simply measure the
+# throughput, because many packets (that reach $h3) don't get to the kernel at
+# all even in UDP mode (the situation is even worse in TCP mode, where one can't
+# hope to see more than a couple Mbps).
+#
+# So instead we send traffic with mausezahn and use RX ethtool counters at $h3.
+# Multicast traffic is untagged, unicast traffic is tagged with PCP 1. Therefore
+# each gets a different priority and we can use per-prio ethtool counters to
+# measure the throughput. In order to avoid prioritizing unicast traffic, prio
+# qdisc is installed on $swp3 and maps all priorities to the same band #7 (and
+# thus TC 0).
+#
+# Mausezahn can't actually saturate the links unless it's using large frames.
+# Thus we set MTU to 10K on all involved interfaces. Then both unicast and
+# multicast traffic uses 8K frames.
