This patch adds support to attach per vlan tunnel info dst
metadata. This enables bridge driver to map vlan to tunnel_info
at ingress and egress. It uses the kernel dst_metadata infrastructure.
The initial use case is vlan to vni bridging, but the api is generic
to extend to any tunnel_info in the future:
- Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data
- netlink functions to configure vlan and tunnel_info mapping
- Introduces bridge port flag BR_LWT_VLAN to enable attach/detach
dst_metadata to bridged packets on ports. off by default.
- changes to existing code is mainly refactor some existing vlan
handling netlink code + hooks for new vlan tunnel code
- I have kept the vlan tunnel code isolated in separate files.
- most of the netlink vlan tunnel code is handling of vlan-tunid
ranges (follows the vlan range handling code). To conserve space
vlan-tunid by default are always dumped in ranges if applicable.
Use case:
example use for this is a vxlan bridging gateway or vtep
which maps vlans to vn-segments (or vnis).
iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show
relevant fdb entries):
example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's and
vlan 100 maps to vni 1000, vlan 101 maps to vni 1001
before (netdev per vni):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self
after this patch with collect metdata in bridged mode (single netdev):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 101 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 vlan 100 master bridge
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
