Ido Schimmel c3a495409a mlxsw: spectrum_router: Optimize processing of VRRP MACs
Hosts using a VRRP router send their packets with a destination MAC of
the VRRP router which is of the following form [1]:

IPv4 - 00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID}
IPv6 - 00-00-5E-00-02-{VRID}

Where VRID is the ID of the virtual router. Such packets are directed to
the router block in the ASIC by an FDB entry that was added in the
previous patch.

However, in certain cases it is possible to skip this FDB lookup and
send such packets directly to the router. This is accomplished by adding
these special MAC addresses to the RIF cache. If the cache is hit, the
packet will skip the L2 lookup and ingress the router with the RIF
specified in the cache entry.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
