| * | nexthop: support for fdb ecmp nexthops | Roopa Prabhu | 2020-05-22 | 1 | -0/+3 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces ecmp nexthops and nexthop groups for mac fdb entries. In subsequent patches this is used by the vxlan driver fdb entries. The use case is E-VPN multihoming [1,2,3] which requires bridged vxlan traffic to be load balanced to remote switches (vteps) belonging to the same multi-homed ethernet segment (This is analogous to a multi-homed LAG but over vxlan). Changes include new nexthop flag NHA_FDB for nexthops referenced by fdb entries. These nexthops only have ip. This patch includes appropriate checks to avoid routes referencing such nexthops. example: $ip nexthop add id 12 via 172.16.1.2 fdb $ip nexthop add id 13 via 172.16.1.3 fdb $ip nexthop add id 102 group 12/13 fdb $bridge fdb add 02:02:00:00:00:13 dev vxlan1000 nhid 101 self [1] E-VPN https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432 [2] E-VPN VxLAN: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8365 [3] LPC talk with mention of nexthop groups for L2 ecmp http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/scaling_bridge_fdb_database_slidesV3.pdf v4 - fixed uninitialized variable reported by kernel test robot Reported-by: kernel test robot <rong.a.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | net: nexthop uapi | David Ahern | 2019-05-28 | 1 | -0/+56 |
| New UAPI for nexthops as standalone objects: - defines netlink ancillary header, struct nhmsg - RTM commands for nexthop objects, RTM_*NEXTHOP, - RTNLGRP for nexthop notifications, RTNLGRP_NEXTHOP, - Attributes for creating nexthops, NHA_* - Attribute for route specs to specify a nexthop by id, RTA_NH_ID. The nexthop attributes and semantics follow the route and RTA ones for device, gateway and lwt encap. Unique to nexthop objects are a blackhole and a group which contains references to other nexthop objects. With the exception of blackhole and group, nexthop objects MUST contain a device. Gateway and encap are optional. Nexthop groups can only reference other pre-existing nexthops by id. If the NHA_ID attribute is present that id is used for the nexthop. If not specified, one is auto assigned. Dump requests can include attributes: - NHA_GROUPS to return only nexthop groups, - NHA_MASTER to limit dumps to nexthops with devices enslaved to the given master (e.g., VRF) - NHA_OIF to limit dumps to nexthops using given device nlmsg_route_perms in selinux code is updated for the new RTM comands.
