The fundamental premise of VRF and l3mdev core code is binding a socket
to a device (l3mdev or netdev with an L3 domain) to indicate L3 scope.
Legacy code resets flowi_oif to the l3mdev losing any original port
device binding. Ben (among others) has demonstrated use cases where the
original port device binding is important and needs to be retained.
This patch handles that by adding a new entry to the common flow struct
that can indicate the l3mdev index for later rule and table matching
avoiding the need to reset flowi_oif.
In addition to allowing more use cases that require port device binds,
this patch brings a few datapath simplications:
1. l3mdev_fib_rule_match is only called when walking fib rules and
always after l3mdev_update_flow. That allows an optimization to bail
early for non-VRF type uses cases when flowi_l3mdev is not set. Also,
only that index needs to be checked for the FIB table id.
2. l3mdev_update_flow can be called with flowi_oif set to a l3mdev
(e.g., VRF) device. By resetting flowi_oif only for this case the
FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF flag is not longer needed and can be removed,
removing several checks in the datapath. The flowi_iif path can be
simplified to only be called if the it is not loopback (loopback can
not be assigned to an L3 domain) and the l3mdev index is not already
set.
3. Avoid another device lookup in the output path when the fib lookup
returns a reject failure.
Note: 2 functional tests for local traffic with reject fib rules are
updated to reflect the new direct failure at FIB lookup time for ping
rather than the failure on packet path. The current code fails like this:
HINT: Fails since address on vrf device is out of device scope
COMMAND: ip netns exec ns-A ping -c1 -w1 -I eth1 172.16.3.1
ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than: eth1
PING 172.16.3.1 (172.16.3.1) from 172.16.3.1 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 172.16.3.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms
where the test now directly fails:
HINT: Fails since address on vrf device is out of device scope
COMMAND: ip netns exec ns-A ping -c1 -w1 -I eth1 172.16.3.1
ping: connect: No route to host
