mlxsw: spectrum: Use different trap group for externally routed packets 2020-07-29T19:16:21+00:00 Ido Schimmel idosch@mellanox.com 2020-07-29T09:26:44+00:00 ec4f5b3617049d474b3263792785b638640f2dbe Cited commit mistakenly removed the trap group for externally routed packets (e.g., via the management interface) and grouped locally routed and externally routed packet traps under the same group, thereby subjecting them to the same policer. This can result in problems, for example, when FRR is restarted and suddenly all transient traffic is trapped to the CPU because of a default route through the management interface. Locally routed packets required to re-establish a BGP connection will never reach the CPU and the routing tables will not be re-populated. Fix this by using a different trap group for externally routed packets.

Cited commit mistakenly removed the trap group for externally routed
packets (e.g., via the management interface) and grouped locally routed
and externally routed packet traps under the same group, thereby
subjecting them to the same policer.

This can result in problems, for example, when FRR is restarted and
suddenly all transient traffic is trapped to the CPU because of a
