Ido Schimmel 4bdf80bcb7 mlxsw: spectrum_router: Add trap adjacency entry upon first nexthop group
In commit 0c3cbbf96d ("mlxsw: Add specific trap for packets routed via
invalid nexthops"), mlxsw started allocating a new adjacency entry
during driver initialization, to trap packets routed via invalid
nexthops.

This behavior was later altered in commit 983db6198f ("mlxsw:
spectrum_router: Allocate discard adjacency entry when needed") to only
allocate the entry upon the first route that requires it. The motivation
for the change is explained in the commit message.

The problem with the current behavior is that the entry shows up as a
"leak" in a new BPF resource monitoring tool [1]. This is caused by the
asymmetry of the allocation/free scheme. While the entry is allocated
upon the first route that requires it, it is only freed during
de-initialization of the driver.

Instead, track the number of active nexthop groups and allocate the
adjacency entry upon the creation of the first group. Free it when the
number of active groups reaches zero.

The next patch will convert mlxsw to start using the new entry and
remove the old one.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
