This series adds VLAN awareness to bpf_fib_lookup() in both directions.
BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN resolves a VLAN egress to its underlying real device
plus the VLAN tag (XDP programs need this because VLAN devices have no XDP
xmit), and BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT runs the lookup as if a tagged frame
had arrived on the matching VLAN subinterface, for iif policy routing and
VRF table selection.
The l3mdev/VRF flow-init fix that was patch 1 in v1 and v2 has been split
out and sent to bpf on its own, since it is an independent Fixes:-tagged
fix that routes to stable on its own schedule. This series is otherwise
independent of it: on the default CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO the VRF
selftests pass with or without the fix. Only the one full-lookup VRF arm
("IPv4 VLAN input, tag selects VRF table") depends on it, and only on
INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or NONE builds, where the uninitialized
flowi_l3mdev otherwise misses the l3mdev rule and the lookup falls
through to the main table. Applying the l3mdev fix first closes that
window.
Changes v2 -> v3 (all from Toke's review unless noted):
- Split the l3mdev/VRF flow-init fix out to a standalone bpf submission
(it was patch 1 in v2).
- Patch 2 (VLAN_INPUT): bpf_fib_vlan_input_dev() returns a
struct net_device * with ERR_PTR() for the -EINVAL case and NULL for
NOT_FWDED, instead of an int return and a **dev out-parameter.
- Trim the BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN and BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT UAPI doc
blocks, and drop the in-function comments that restated the commit
message or the flag doc.
- Patch 1 (VLAN egress): on the skb path without tot_len, the deferred mtu
check now runs against the resolved egress (VLAN) device, not the parent
params->ifindex was swapped to, so a VLAN device with a smaller mtu than
its parent is no longer checked against, or reported as, the parent's
larger mtu. Found by the bpf ci bot; this was an open question in v2.
- Patch 3 (selftests): re-run every case through bpf_xdp_fib_lookup() as
well, since the feature targets XDP; and flip the no-tot_len mtu arm to
expect the VLAN device's mtu after the fix above.
Open questions (defaults chosen, noted here in case a maintainer
prefers otherwise):
1. An unmatched, down, or foreign-netns tag returns
BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NOT_FWDED, matching the DIRECT path when
fib_get_table() finds no table, rather than a new return code.
2. BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT | BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT is rejected with
-EINVAL; restricting now keeps relaxing later backward-compatible.
3. The name BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT reads oddly next to
BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT. A pair like _VLAN_EGRESS/_VLAN_INGRESS is an
option while nothing is merged.
4. The egress flag leaves a VLAN it cannot reduce to a physical parent
plus one tag (QinQ, or a parent in another namespace) as SUCCESS with
the VLAN device's ifindex and the vlan fields zero, like a plain
lookup. The input side instead fails closed (NOT_FWDED) on the
cross-namespace case. An XDP caller cannot xmit on a VLAN device, and
a zero h_vlan_proto does not distinguish this result from a physical
egress, so returning NOT_FWDED would be safer for XDP. But the two
cases differ: a foreign-netns parent is clearly fail-worthy, while a
QinQ egress is still a forwardable route (tc xmits on the inner VLAN
device), so failing it closed would reject a usable route. Should
egress signal NOT_FWDED, for both or only foreign-netns? I left it
best-effort, but will change it if you prefer.
Taking the tag as lookup input follows the approach David Ahern
suggested in the 2021 fwmark discussion:
