[Bridge] [RFC PATCH net-next 3/4] bridge: Add backup nexthop ID support
Add a new bridge port attribute that allows attaching a nexthop object
ID to an skb that is redirected to a backup bridge port with VLAN
tunneling enabled.
Specifically, when redirecting a known unicast packet, read the backup
nexthop ID from the bridge port that lost its carrier and set it in the
bridge control block of the skb before forwarding it via the backup
port. Note that reading the ID from the bridge port should not result in
a cache miss as the ID is added next to the 'backup_port' field that was
already accessed. After this change, the 'state' field still stays on
the first cache line, together with other data path related fields such
as 'flags and 'vlgrp':
struct net_bridge_port {
struct net_bridge * br; /* 0 8 */
struct net_device * dev; /* 8 8 */
netdevice_tracker dev_tracker; /* 16 0 */
struct list_head list; /* 16 16 */
long unsigned int flags; /* 32 8 */
struct net_bridge_vlan_group * vlgrp; /* 40 8 */
struct net_bridge_port * backup_port; /* 48 8 */
u32 backup_nhid; /* 56 4 */
u8 priority; /* 60 1 */
u8 state; /* 61 1 */
u16 port_no; /* 62 2 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
[...]
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
When forwarding an skb via a bridge port that has VLAN tunneling
enabled, check if the backup nexthop ID stored in the bridge control
block is valid (i.e., not zero). If so, instead of attaching the
pre-allocated metadata (that only has the tunnel key set), allocate a
new metadata, set both the tunnel key and the nexthop object ID and
attach it to the skb.
By default, do not dump the new attribute to user space as a value of
zero is an invalid nexthop object ID.
The above is useful for EVPN multihoming. When one of the links
composing an Ethernet Segment (ES) fails, traffic needs to be redirected
towards the host via one of the other ES peers. For example, if a host
is multihomed to three different VTEPs, the backup port of each ES link
needs to be set to the VXLAN device and the backup nexthop ID needs to
point to an FDB nexthop group that includes the IP addresses of the
other two VTEPs. The VXLAN driver will extract the ID from the metadata
of the redirected skb, calculate its flow hash and forward it towards
one of the other VTEPs. If the ID does not exist, or represents an
invalid nexthop object, the VXLAN driver will drop the skb. This
relieves the bridge driver from the need to validate the ID.
