net: mscc: ocelot: allow tc-flower mirred action towards foreign interfaces
Debugging certain flows in the offloaded switch data path can be done by
installing two tc-mirred filters for mirroring: one in the hardware data
path, which copies the frames to the CPU, and one which takes the frame
from there and mirrors it to a virtual interface like a dummy device,
where it can be seen with tcpdump.
The effect of having 2 filters run on the same packet can be obtained by
default using tc, by not specifying either the 'skip_sw' or 'skip_hw'
keywords.
Instead of refusing to offload mirroring/redirecting packets towards
interfaces that aren't switch ports, just treat every other destination
for what it is: something that is handled in software, behind the CPU
port.
Usage:
$ ip link add dummy0 type dummy; ip link set dummy0 up
$ tc qdisc add dev swp0 clsact
$ tc filter add dev swp0 ingress protocol ip flower action mirred ingress mirror dev dummy0
