From: Jiri Pirko <j...@mellanox.com> Ido says: This patchset enables the forwarding of certain control packets by the device instead of relying on the CPU to do the forwarding.
The first two patches simplify the current switchdev offload forward infrastructure and make it usable for stacked devices. This is done by moving the packet and port marking to the bridge driver instead of the switch driver. Patches 3-5 add the mlxsw specific bits to support the forward mark.
