[Bridge] [PATCHv2 0/4] macvlan: add vepa and bridge mode
Second version, all feedback so far addressed, thanks for the
help and interest!
The patch to iproute2 has not changed, so I'm not including
it this time. Patch 4/4 (the netlink interface) is basically
unchanged as well but included for completeness.
The other changes have moved forward a bit, to the point where
I find them a lot cleaner and am more confident in the code
being ready for inclusion. The implementation hardly resembles
Erics original patch now, so I've dropped his signed-off-by.
Please take a look and ack if you are happy so we can get it
into 2.6.33.
---
Version 1 description:
This is based on an earlier patch from Eric Biederman adding
forwarding between macvlans. I extended his approach to
allow the administrator to choose the mode for each macvlan,
and to implement a functional VEPA between macvlan.
Still missing from this is support for communication between
the lower device that the macvlans are based on. This would
be extremely useful but as others have found out before me
requires significant changes not only to macvlan but also
to the common transmit path.
I've tested VEPA operation with the hairpin support
added to the bridge driver by Anna Fischer.

[Bridge] [PATCH 1/4] veth: move loopback logic to common location
The veth driver contains code to forward an skb
from the start_xmit function of one network
device into the receive path of another device.
Moving that code into a common location lets us
reuse the code for direct forwarding of data
between macvlan ports, and possibly in other
drivers.

We have very similar code for rx statistics in
two places in the macvlan driver, with a third
one being added in the next patch.
Consolidate them into one function to improve
overall readability of the driver.

[Bridge] [PATCH 3/4] macvlan: implement bridge, VEPA and private mode
This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:
MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
The device never communicates with any other device
on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
by the adjacent bridge.
MACVLAN_VEPA:
The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
where both source and destination are local to the
macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
relay.
Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
We never deliver any frames locally.
MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
from one interface to another one get delivered directly
and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
interface, but when they come back from a reflective
relay, we don't deliver them again.
Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
module does.
Based on an earlier patch "macvlan: Reflect macvlan packets
meant for other macvlan devices" by Eric Biederman.

In order to support all three modes of macvlan at

to allow choosing the mode per macvlan slave
interface.
This depends on a matching patch to iproute2
in order to become accessible in user land.
