Multiport eswitch is required to use native FDB selection instead of
affinity, This was achieved by passing the shared_fdb flag down
the HW lag creation path. While it did accomplish the goal of setting
FDB selection mode to native, it had the side effect of also
creating a shared FDB configuration.
This created a few issues:
- TC rules are inserted into a non active FDB, which means traffic isn't
offloaded as all traffic will reach only a single FDB.
- All wire traffic is treated as if a single physical port received it; while
this is true for a bond configuration, this shouldn't be the case for
multiport eswitch.
Create a new flag MLX5_LAG_MODE_FLAG_FDB_SEL_MODE_NATIVE
to indicate what FDB selection mode should be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
