[RFC,net-next, 3/4] seg6: add support for the SRv6 End.DT4 behavior

From: Andrea Mayer
Date: Wed Oct 21 2020 - 14:51:41 EST


SRv6 End.DT4 is defined in the SRv6 Network Programming [1].

The SRv6 End.DT4 is used to implement IPv4 L3VPN use-cases in
multi-tenants environments. It decapsulates the received packets and it
performs IPv4 routing lookup in the routing table of the tenant.

The SRv6 End.DT4 Linux implementation leverages a VRF device in order to
force the routing lookup into the associated routing table.

To make the End.DT4 work properly, it must be guaranteed that the routing
table used for routing lookup operations is bound to one and only one
VRF during the tunnel creation. Such constraint has to be enforced by
enabling the VRF strict_mode sysctl parameter, i.e:
$ sysctl -wq net.vrf.strict_mode=1.

At JANOG44, LINE corporation presented their multi-tenant DC architecture
using SRv6 [2]. In the slides, they reported that the Linux kernel is
missing the support of SRv6 End.DT4 behavior.

The iproute2 counterpart required for configuring the SRv6 End.DT4
behavior is already implemented along with the other supported SRv6
behaviors [3].

+/* In the SRv6 End.DT4 use case, we can receive traffic (IPv6+Segment Routing
+ * Header packets) from several interfaces and the IPv6 destination address (DA)
+ * is used for retrieving the specific instance of the End.DT4 behavior that
+ * should process the packets.
+ *
+ * The End.DT4 behavior extracts the inner (IPv4) packet and, on the basis of
+ * the associated VRF, it routes and forwards the IPv4 packet by looking at the
+ * specific table.
+ *
+ * However, the inner IPv4 packet is not really bound to any receiving interface
+ * and thus the End.DT4 sets the VRF as the *receiving* interface. In other
+ * words, the End.DT4 processes a packet as if it has been received directly
+ * by the VRF (and not by one of its slave devices, if any).
+ * In this way, the VRF interface is used for routing the IPv4 packet in
+ * according to the specific routing table.
+ *
+ * This design has allowed us to get some interesting features like:
+ * 1) the statistics on rx packets;
+ * 2) the possibility to install a packet sniffer on the receiving interface
+ * (the VRF one) to see the incoming packets;
+ * 3) the possibility to leverage the netfilter prerouting hook for the inner
+ * IPv4 packet.
+ *
+ * This function returns:
+ * - the skb buffer when the VRF rcv handler has processed correctly the
+ * packet;
+ * - NULL when the skb is consumed by the VRF rcv handler;
+ * - a pointer which encodes a negative error number in case of error.
+ * Note that in this case, the function takes care of freeing the skb.
