bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be flooded twice. It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch. This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account, such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which is impossible. The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports, which are not necessarily port netdevs. Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e. having the same parent ID). Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

rocker: hook ndo_neigh_destroy to cleanup neigh refs in driver Rocker driver tracks arp_tbl neighs to resolve IPv4 route nexthops. The driver uses NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE for neigh adds and updates, but there is no event when the neigh is removed from the device (such as when the device goes admin down). This patches hooks ndo_neigh_destroy so the driver can know when a neigh is removed from the device. In response, the driver will purge the neigh entry from its internal tbl. I didn't find an in-tree users of ndo_neigh_destroy, so I'm not sure if this ndo is vestigial or if there are out-of-tree users. In any case, it does what I need here. An alternative design would be to generate NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE event when neigh is being destroyed, setting state to NUD_NONE so driver knows neigh entry is dead.
