Devlink E-Switch Attribute
==========================
Devlink E-Switch supports two modes of operation: legacy and switchdev.
Legacy mode operates based on traditional MAC/VLAN steering rules. Switching
decisions are made based on MAC addresses, VLANs, etc. There is limited ability
to offload switching rules to hardware.
On the other hand, switchdev mode allows for more advanced offloading
capabilities of the E-Switch to hardware. In switchdev mode, more switching
rules and logic can be offloaded to the hardware switch ASIC. It enables
representor netdevices that represent the slow path of virtual functions (VFs)
or scalable-functions (SFs) of the device. See more information about
:ref:`Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst <switchdev>` and
:ref:`Documentation/networking/representors.rst <representors>`.
In addition, the devlink E-Switch also comes with other attributes listed
in the following section.
Attributes Description

The following is a list of E-Switch attributes.
.. list-table:: E-Switch attributes
:widths: 8 5 45

* ``legacy`` operates based on traditional MAC/VLAN steering
rules.
* ``switchdev`` allows for more advanced offloading capabilities of
the E-Switch to hardware.
* - ``inline-mode``
- enum
- Some HWs need the VF driver to put part of the packet

Devlink E-Switch mode
1-22이 문서는 `GPL-2.0` 라이선스를 따릅니다.
Devlink E-Switch attribute
Devlink E-Switch는 `legacy`와 `switchdev`라는 두 가지 동작 mode를 지원합니다.
`legacy` mode는 전통적인 MAC/VLAN steering rule에 따라 동작합니다. MAC address, VLAN 등을 기준으로 switching을 결정하며 switching rule을 hardware로 offload하는 능력은 제한적입니다.
반면 `switchdev` mode는 E-Switch의 고급 기능을 hardware로 offload할 수 있습니다. 더 많은 switching rule과 logic을 hardware switch ASIC으로 넘길 수 있고, 장치의 VF(virtual function) 또는 SF(scalable function) slow path를 나타내는 representor netdevice를 활성화합니다.
자세한 내용은 `Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst`와 `Documentation/networking/representors.rst`를 참조하십시오.
devlink E-Switch에는 다음 절에서 설명하는 다른 attribute도 있습니다.
두 mode는 hardware offload 범위와 representor 제공 여부가 다릅니다.

요약·해설
devlink-eswitch-attr.rst:1-76`legacy`는 MAC/VLAN 중심의 제한적인 offload mode이고, `switchdev`는 VF·SF representor와 더 넓은 ASIC offload를 제공합니다. `inline-mode`는 TX descriptor가 제공할 header 계층을, `encap-mode`는 encapsulation 지원을 정합니다.
동작 mode와 packet metadata·encapsulation 설정을 분리합니다.
