The identifier type and checksum neutral mapping bits are optional
in identifier formats. This patch set fixes the implementation to
make them optional and configurable.
Specific items:
- Clean up checksum diff code in ILA
- Add checksum neutral mapping auto so that checksum neutral
mapping can be configured without requiring use of the C-bit
- Add identifier type configuration and allow identifier
type to be configured so that the identifier type field does
not need to be present
- Added ILA documention: ila.txt
I have fixes for ILA in iproute2 that will be poseted separately.
Tested: Ran netperf TCP_RR on various combinations of checksum
mode and the two supported identifier types.
v2:
- Add proper sign off
- In ILA LWT, only check prefix length includes identifier type
if identifier type is enabled (ILA_ATYPE_USE_FORMAT).
- Add a hook type so that it can be specified whether ILA
translation is done on input or output route funciton in
LWT.
