net/mlx5e: Move IPSec policy check after decryption
Currently, xfrm policy check is done before decryption in mlx5 driver.
If matching any policy, packets are forwarded to xfrm state table for
decryption. But this is exact opposite to what software does. For
kernel implementation, xfrm decode is unconditionally activated
whenever an IPSec packet reaches the input flow if there’s a matching
state rule.
This patch changes the order, move policy check after decryption.
Besides, a miss flow table is added at the end for legacy mode, to
make it easier to update the default destination of the steering rules.
So ESP packets are firstly forwarded to SA table for decryption, then
the result is checked in status table. If the decryption succeeds,
packets are forwarded to another table to check xfrm policy rules.
When a policy with allow action is matched, if in legacy mode packets
are forwarded to miss flow table with one rule to forward them to RoCE
tables, if in switchdev mode they are forwarded directly to TC root
chain instead.
