Nexthop objects are treated as another front-end for programming nexthops, in addition to the existing IPv4 and IPv6 front-ends. Patch #1 registers a listener to the nexthop notification chain and parses the nexthop information into the existing mlxsw data structures that are already used by the IPv4 and IPv6 front-ends. Blackhole nexthops are currently rejected. Support will be added in a follow-up patch set. Patch #2 extends mlxsw to resolve its internal nexthop objects from the nexthop identifier encoded in the FIB info of the notified routes. Patch #3 finally removes the limitation of rejecting routes that use nexthop objects. Patch #4 adds a selftest. Patches #5-#8 add generic forwarding selftests that can be used with veth pairs or physical loopbacks. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201119130848.407918-1-idosch@idosch.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- 3cd336c517990850897f50845270be216d2aaca8
