From 499a24256862714539e902c0499b67da2bb3ab72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roopa Prabhu Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 10:43:46 +0200 Subject: lwtunnel: infrastructure for handling light weight tunnels like mpls Provides infrastructure to parse/dump/store encap information for light weight tunnels like mpls. Encap information for such tunnels is associated with fib routes. This infrastructure is based on previous suggestions from Eric Biederman to follow the xfrm infrastructure.

Similar on the receive side, if the VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA flag is set, the packet processing will populate a ip_tunnel_info struct for each packet received and attach it to the skb using the new metadata dst. The metadata structure will contain the outer header and tunnel header fields which have been stripped off. Layers further up in the stack such as routing, tc or netfitler can later match on these fields and perform forwarding. It is the responsibility of upper layers to ensure that the flag is set if the metadata is needed. The flag limits the additional cost of metadata collecting based on demand. This prepares the VXLAN device to be steered by the routing and other subsystems which allows to support encapsulation for a large number of tunnel endpoints and tunnel ids through a single net_device which improves the scalability. It also allows for OVS to leverage this mode which in turn allows for the removal of the OVS specific VXLAN code. Because the skb is currently scrubed in vxlan_rcv(), the attachment of the new dst metadata is postponed until after scrubing which requires the temporary addition of a new member to vxlan_metadata. This member is removed again in a later commit after the indirect VXLAN receive API has been removed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S.
