The VEB (virtual embedded switch) as a switch element can be
connected according datasheet though its uplink to:
- Physical port
- Port Virtualizer (not used directly by i40e driver but can
be present in MFP mode where the physical port is shared
between PFs)
- No uplink (aka floating VEB)
But VEB uplink cannot be connected to another VEB and any attempt
to do so results in:
"i40e 0000:02:00.0: couldn't add VEB, err -EIO aq_err I40E_AQ_RC_ENOENT"
that indicates "the uplink SEID does not point to valid element".
Remove this logic from the driver code this way:
1) For debugfs only allow to build floating VEB (uplink_seid == 0)
or main VEB (uplink_seid == mac_seid)
2) Do not recurse in i40e_veb_link_event() as no VEB cannot have
sub-VEBs
3) Ditto for i40e_veb_rebuild() + simplify the function as we know
that the VEB for rebuild can be only the main LAN VEB or some
of the floating VEBs
4) In i40e_rebuild() there is no need to check veb->uplink_seid
as the possible ones are 0 and MAC SEID
5) In i40e_vsi_release() do not take into account VEBs whose
uplink is another VEB as this is not possible
6) Remove veb_idx field from i40e_veb as a VEB cannot have
sub-VEBs
Tested using i40e debugfs interface:
1) Initial state
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# CMD="/sys/kernel/debug/i40e/0000:02:00.0/command"
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo dump switch > $CMD

2) Add floating VEB
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo add relay > $CMD
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c
[ 122.745630] i40e 0000:02:00.0: added relay 162

3) Add VMDQ2 VSI to this new VEB
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c

4) Try to delete the VEB
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo del relay 162 > $CMD
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c
[ 239.260901] i40e 0000:02:00.0: deleting relay 162
[ 239.265621] i40e 0000:02:00.0: can't remove VEB 162 with 1 VSIs left
5) Do PF reset and check switch status after rebuild
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo pfr > $CMD
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# echo dump switch > $CMD
[root@cnb-03 net-next]# dmesg -c
