net/mlx5: Bridge, don't fail switchdev events of sibling eswitch ports
mlx5 registers the bridge offload switchdev notifiers once per eswitch
instance, but the notifier chains are global, so every instance sees
every event and must filter out the ones that aren't its own. The
existing filter, mlx5_esw_bridge_dev_same_hw(), only checks that the
event netdevice sits on the same HCA - intentional for merged eswitch,
where one bridge can span representors of several eswitches on one
HCA - but same-HCA doesn't mean the instance actually has that port:
peer ports are only created reactively from NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER, so an
instance brought up after a sibling PF's port was already enslaved has
none. The port object and attribute handlers claim the event anyway
once same-HW passes, then fail the port lookup and return -EINVAL,
which gets reported to user space even though the owning instance
already handled it (e.g. "bridge vlan add ... RTNETLINK answers:
Invalid argument"). Fix by filtering on the tracked port instead.
The same gap exists in the generic recursive lower-device walk used by
attribute changes on a bridge with more than one representor enslaved
directly: mlx5_esw_bridge_lower_rep_vport_num_vhca_id_get() is entered
with the bridge master netdevice, falls through to its generic
netdev_for_each_lower_dev() loop, and returns as soon as the recursion
into any one lower device yields a non-NULL rep - the underlying base
case, mlx5_esw_bridge_rep_vport_num_vhca_id_get(), only checks
mlx5_esw_bridge_dev_same_hw(), not ownership by the calling instance's
br_offloads. mlx5_esw_bridge_lag_rep_get(), used for the LAG-master
case, already filters on mlx5_esw_bridge_dev_same_esw() per candidate
and so cannot select a sibling's rep; it is not the source of this bug.
On a merged-eswitch HCA with a bridge spanning representors of more
than one eswitch instance directly, the walk can return a sibling's rep
instead of continuing to the one the calling instance actually owns, so
the attribute change fails the same way as above. Fix by checking
mlx5_esw_bridge_port_exists() at the point each rep is picked, same as
the previous fix did for the notifier filter.
