Public bug reported:
[SHORT DESCRIPTION]:
when we add traffic rules using the SW steering that supported by MLX5
driver in Ubuntu 20.04, we see that the rules added into the kernel and
the packages that stand in those rules are dropped. but the dropped
packets counters don't increase by the driver.
[HOW TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE]
1.configure SW Steering and ovs bridge (on both HV)
2. install one vm on each side
3. create to virtual function and attach it to the vm
4. configure action forward* in one side of HV* (sender side):
ovs-ofctl add-flow ovs-sriov
"tcp,in_port=ens5f0_0,nw_src=13.13.1.2,nw_dst=13.13.1.1,tp_src=8922,tp_dst=8922
action=drop"
5. check that the rulse added:
dump-flows ovs-sriov --color
6. in VM (server side) run: iperf -s -p 9822
7. in VM (client side) run : iperf -c 13.13.1.1 -p 8922 -B 13.13.1.2:8922
8. verify counter
[EXPECTED RESULT]
increase dropped packets counter
[ ACTUAL RESULT ]
dropped packets counter doesn't increase
[ADDITIONAL INFO]
the issue was resolved upstream, I need to verify that the upstream fix really
fixes the issue on UB20.04 and once we verify it I will add the fix here.
