[net-next,v2,0/5] seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT4 behavior

Message

Andrea Mayer Nov. 7, 2020, 3:31 p.m. UTC

This patchset provides support for the SRv6 End.DT4 behavior.

The SRv6 End.DT4 is used to implement multi-tenant IPv4 L3 VPN. It
decapsulates the received packets and performs IPv4 routing lookup in the
routing table of the tenant. The SRv6 End.DT4 Linux implementation
leverages a VRF device. The SRv6 End.DT4 is defined in the SRv6 Network
Programming [1].

- Patch 1/5 is needed to solve a pre-existing issue with tunneled packets
  when a sniffer is attached;

- Patch 2/5 improves the management of the seg6local attributes used by the
  SRv6 behaviors;

- Patch 3/5 introduces two callbacks used for customizing the
  creation/destruction of a SRv6 behavior;

- Patch 4/5 is the core patch that adds support for the SRv6 End.DT4
  behavior;

- Patch 5/5 adds the selftest for SRv6 End.DT4 behavior.

I would like to thank David Ahern for his support during the development of
this patch set.

Comments, suggestions and improvements are very welcome!

Thanks,
Andrea Mayer
