mlxsw: spectrum_router: Split nexthop group configuration to a different struct
Currently, the individual nexthops member in the group and attributes of the group (e.g., its type) are stored in the same struct (i.e., 'struct mlxsw_sp_nexthop_group'). This is fine since the individual nexthops cannot change during the lifetime of the group. With nexthop objects this is no longer the case. An existing nexthop group can be replaced to use a new set of nexthops. Creating a new struct whenever a group is replaced entails replacing the group pointer of all the routes (i.e., 'struct mlxsw_sp_fib_entry') using the group. Avoid this inefficient step by splitting the nexthop group configuration to a different struct (i.e., 'struct mlxsw_sp_nexthop_group_info'). When a nexthop group is replaced a new group info struct is created and the individual rotues do not need to be touched. Illustration after the change: mlxsw_sp_fib_entry mlxsw_sp_nexthop_group mlxsw_sp_nexthop_group_info +-------------------+ +----------------------+ +---------------------------+ | nh_group; +--> nhgi; +--> | | | | | | | +-------------------+ +----------------------+ +---------------------------+ No functional changes intended.
