bridge: per vlan dst_metadata netlink support
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 CC: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
