In commit 6de6e46d27ef ("cls_flower: Fix inability to match GRE/IPIP
packets"), cls_flower was fixed to match an outer packet of a tunneled
packet as would be expected, rather than dissecting to the inner packet and
matching on that.

This fix uncovered several issues in packet matching in mirroring
selftests:

- in mirror_gre_bridge_1d_vlan.sh and mirror_gre_vlan_bridge_1q.sh, the
  vlan_ethtype match is copied around as "ip", even as some of the tests
  are running over ip6gretap. This is fixed by using an "ipv6" for
  vlan_ethtype in the ip6gretap tests.

- in mirror_gre_changes.sh, a filter to count GRE packets is set up to
  match TTL of 50. This used to trigger in the offloaded datapath, where
  the envelope TTL was matched, but not in the software datapath, which
  considered TTL of the inner packet. Now that both match consistently, all
  the packets were double-counted. This is fixed by marking the filter as
  skip_hw, leaving only the SW datapath component active.

<title>selftests: mlxsw: Fix mausezahn invocation in ERSPAN scale test</title>

<id>1233898ab758cbcf5f6fea10b8dd16a0b2c24fab</id>
<content type='text'>
The mirror_gre_scale test creates as many ERSPAN sessions as the underlying
chip supports, and tests that they all work. In order to determine that it
issues a stream of ICMP packets and checks if they are mirrored as
expected.

However, the mausezahn invocation missed the -6 flag to identify the use of
IPv6 protocol, and was sending ICMP messages over IPv6, as opposed to
ICMP6. It also didn't pass an explicit source IP address, which apparently
worked at some point in the past, but does not anymore.

To fix these issues, extend the function mirror_test() in mirror_lib by
detecting the IPv6 protocol addresses, and using a different ICMP scheme.
Fix __mirror_gre_test() in the selftest itself to pass a source IP address.

Currently, mausezahn delay parameter in mirror_test() is specified with
'ms' units.

mausezahn versions before 0.6.5 interpret 'ms' as seconds and therefore
the tests that use mirror_test() take a very long time to complete.

Resolve this by specifying 'msec' units.

Using ping in tests is error-prone, because ping is too smart. On a
flaky system (notably in a simulator), when packets don't come quickly
enough, more pings are sent, and that throws off counters. Instead use
mausezahn to generate ICMP echo request packets. That allows us to
send them in quicker succession as well, because the reason the ping
was made slow in the first place was to make the tests work on
simulated systems.

When running in an environment with poor performance (such as a
simulator), processing mirrored packets can take a while. Evaluating the
condition too soon leads to spurious "seen 9, expected 10" failures as
the last packet doesn't have enough time to get mirrored and the mirror
to arrive and bump the observed counters.

Wait for one ping interval before evaluating the test.

The current ping intervals are too short for running mirroring tests in
simulator. This leads to ping sending a follow-up ping before the reply
arrives, thus sending more than the requested 10 ICMP requests. Those
are mirrored, and over a certain threshold the test case run is
considered a failure, because too much traffic is observed.

Bump interval and timeout numbers 5x in mirroring tests to address the
spurious failures.

The function do_test_span_vlan_dir_ips() is used for testing whether
mirrored packets are VLAN-encapsulated. But since it only considers
VLAN encapsulation, it may end up matching unmirrored ARP traffic as
well. One consequence is a rare failure of mirror_gre_vlan_bridge_1q's
test_gretap_untagged_egress. Decreasing ping cadence in mirror_test()
makes the problem easily reproducible.

Therefore tighten up the match criterion to only count those 802.1q
packets where the next header is IP.
