Hi Han,

Thanks for the patch!

Why only parse the VNI though?  Even the test you're adding is setting
an explicit LWTUNNEL_IP_DST.

I understand that in your OVN use case only the VNI is set on the route
but this is a generic library.  I think it might be nicer if we parsed
all the lwtunnel attributes.

Why don't you use the uapi/linux/lwtunnel.h definitions directly
(LWTUNNEL_ENCAP_IP and LWTUNNEL_ENCAP_IP6)?  Having OVN specific macro
names here reads weird.

We truncate a 64bit integer into 32bits.  Is that acceptable?  I
understand for VXLAN VNI that's fine but is that true in general?

Tunnel ID 0 is probably valid so I guess that's why we need this bool.

Maybe VNI is too VXLAN-specific?  In the end this is just a tunnel ID.

I think it would probably be a good idea to add tests for ip6 encaps too.
