Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] net/mlx5e: Add new prio for promiscuous mode
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:53:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1752155624-24095-4-git-send-email-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1752155624-24095-1-git-send-email-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Jianbo Liu <jianbol@nvidia.com>
An optimization for promiscuous mode adds a high-priority steering
table with a single catch-all rule to steer all traffic directly to
the TTC table.
However, a gap exists between the creation of this table and the
insertion of the catch-all rule. Packets arriving in this brief window
would miss as no rule was inserted yet, unnecessarily incrementing the
'rx_steer_missed_packets' counter and dropped.
This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new prio for this
table, placing it between MLX5E_TC_PRIO and MLX5E_NIC_PRIO. By doing
so, packets arriving during the window now fall through to the next
prio (at MLX5E_NIC_PRIO) instead of being dropped.
Fixes: 1c46d7409f30 ("net/mlx5e: Optimize promiscuous mode")
