Merge branch 'Add FOU support for externally controlled ipip devices'
Christian Ehrig says:
====================
This patch set adds support for using FOU or GUE encapsulation with
an ipip device operating in collect-metadata mode and a set of kfuncs
for controlling encap parameters exposed to a BPF tc-hook.
BPF tc-hooks allow us to read tunnel metadata (like remote IP addresses)
in the ingress path of an externally controlled tunnel interface via
the bpf_skb_get_tunnel_{key,opt} bpf-helpers. Packets can then be
redirected to the same or a different externally controlled tunnel
interface by overwriting metadata via the bpf_skb_set_tunnel_{key,opt}
helpers and a call to bpf_redirect. This enables us to redirect packets
between tunnel interfaces - and potentially change the encapsulation
type - using only a single BPF program.
Today this approach works fine for a couple of tunnel combinations.
For example: redirecting packets between Geneve and GRE interfaces or
GRE and plain ipip interfaces. However, redirecting using FOU or GUE is
not supported today. The ip_tunnel module does not allow us to egress
packets using additional UDP encapsulation from an ipip device in
collect-metadata mode.
Patch 1 lifts this restriction by adding a struct ip_tunnel_encap to
the tunnel metadata. It can be filled by a new BPF kfunc introduced
in Patch 2 and evaluated by the ip_tunnel egress path. This will allow
us to use FOU and GUE encap with externally controlled ipip devices.
Patch 2 introduces two new BPF kfuncs: bpf_skb_{set,get}_fou_encap.
These helpers can be used to set and get UDP encap parameters from the
BPF tc-hook doing the packet redirect.
Patch 3 adds BPF tunnel selftests using the two kfuncs.
