The NEXT-C-SID mechanism described in [1] offers the possibility of
encoding several SRv6 segments within a single 128 bit SID address. Such
a SID address is called a Compressed SID (C-SID) container. In this way,
the length of the SID List can be drastically reduced.
A SID instantiated with the NEXT-C-SID flavor considers an IPv6 address
logically structured in three main blocks: i) Locator-Block; ii)
Locator-Node Function; iii) Argument.
C-SID container
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Locator-Block |Loc-Node| Argument |
| |Function| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
<--------- B -----------> <- NF -> <------------- A --------------->
(i) The Locator-Block can be any IPv6 prefix available to the provider;
(ii) The Locator-Node Function represents the node and the function to
be triggered when a packet is received on the node;
(iii) The Argument carries the remaining C-SIDs in the current C-SID
container.
The NEXT-C-SID mechanism relies on the "flavors" framework defined in
[2]. The flavors represent additional operations that can modify or
extend a subset of the existing behaviors.
This patch introduces the support for flavors in SRv6 End behavior
implementing the NEXT-C-SID one. An SRv6 End behavior with NEXT-C-SID
flavor works as an End behavior but it is capable of processing the
compressed SID List encoded in C-SID containers.
An SRv6 End behavior with NEXT-C-SID flavor can be configured to support
user-provided Locator-Block and Locator-Node Function lengths. In this
implementation, such lengths must be evenly divisible by 8 (i.e. must be
byte-aligned), otherwise the kernel informs the user about invalid
values with a meaningful error code and message through netlink_ext_ack.
If Locator-Block and/or Locator-Node Function lengths are not provided
by the user during configuration of an SRv6 End behavior instance with
NEXT-C-SID flavor, the kernel will choose their default values i.e.,
32-bit Locator-Block and 16-bit Locator-Node Function.

An SRv6 behavior instance can be set up using mandatory and/or optional
attributes.
In the setup phase, each supplied attribute is parsed and processed. If
the parsing operation fails, the creation of the behavior instance stops
and an error number/code is reported to the user. In many cases, it is
challenging for the user to figure out exactly what happened by relying
only on the error code.
For this reason, we add the support for netlink_ext_ack in parsing SRv6
behavior attributes. In this way, when an SRv6 behavior attribute is
parsed and an error occurs, the kernel can send a message to the
userspace describing the error through a meaningful text message in
addition to the classic error code.

Fixes the following warnings observed when building

through to next function seg6_local_get_encap_size()
net/ipv6/seg6_local.o: warning: objtool: seg6_local_cmp_encap() falls

LLVM can fully unroll loops in seg6_local_get_encap_size() and
seg6_local_cmp_encap(). One issue in those loops is that the induction
variable is initialized to 0. The loop iterates over members of
seg6_action_params, a global array of struct seg6_action_param calling
their put() function pointer members. seg6_action_param uses an array
initializer to initialize SEG6_LOCAL_SRH and later elements, which is
the third enumeration of an anonymous union.
The guard `if (attrs & SEG6_F_ATTR(i))` may prevent this from being
called at runtime, but it would still be UB for
`seg6_action_params[0]->put` to be called; the unrolled loop will make
the initial iterations unreachable, which LLVM will later rotate to
fallthrough to the next function.
Make this more obvious that this cannot happen to the compiler by
initializing the loop induction variable to the minimum valid index that
seg6_action_params is initialized to.

Commit 40867d74c3 ("net: Add l3mdev index to flow struct and avoid oif
reset for port devices") adds a new entry (flowi_l3mdev) in the common
flow struct used for indicating the l3mdev index for later rule and
table matching.
The l3mdev_update_flow() has been adapted to properly set the
flowi_l3mdev based on the flowi_oif/flowi_iif. In fact, when a valid
flowi_iif is supplied to the l3mdev_update_flow(), this function can
update the flowi_l3mdev entry only if it has not yet been set (i.e., the
flowi_l3mdev entry is equal to 0).
The SRv6 End.DT6 behavior in VRF mode leverages a VRF device in order to
force the routing lookup into the associated routing table. This routing
operation is performed by seg6_lookup_any_nextop() preparing a flowi6
data structure used by ip6_route_input_lookup() which, in turn,
(indirectly) invokes l3mdev_update_flow().
However, seg6_lookup_any_nexthop() does not initialize the new
flowi_l3mdev entry which is filled with random garbage data. This
prevents l3mdev_update_flow() from properly updating the flowi_l3mdev
with the VRF index, and thus SRv6 End.DT6 (VRF mode)/DT46 behaviors are
broken.
This patch correctly initializes the flowi6 instance allocated and used
by seg6_lookup_any_nexhtop(). Specifically, the entire flowi6 instance
is wiped out: in case new entries are added to flowi/flowi6 (as happened
with the flowi_l3mdev entry), we should no longer have incorrectly
initialized values. As a result of this operation, the value of
flowi_l3mdev is also set to 0.
The proposed fix can be tested easily. Starting from the commit
referenced in the Fixes, selftests [1],[2] indicate that the SRv6
End.DT6 (VRF mode)/DT46 behaviors no longer work correctly. By applying
this patch, those behaviors are back to work properly again.

IETF RFC 8986 [1] includes the definition of SRv6 End.DT4, End.DT6, and
End.DT46 Behaviors.
The current SRv6 code in the Linux kernel only implements End.DT4 and
End.DT6 which can be used respectively to support IPv4-in-IPv6 and
IPv6-in-IPv6 VPNs. With End.DT4 and End.DT6 it is not possible to create a
single SRv6 VPN tunnel to carry both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
The proposed End.DT46 implementation is meant to support the decapsulation
of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic coming from a single SRv6 tunnel.
The implementation of the SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior in the Linux kernel
greatly simplifies the setup and operations of SRv6 VPNs.
The SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior leverages the infrastructure of SRv6 End.DT{4,6}
Behaviors implemented so far, because it makes use of a VRF device in
order to force the routing lookup into the associated routing table.
To make the End.DT46 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
Note that the same approach is used for the SRv6 End.DT4 Behavior and for
the End.DT6 Behavior in VRF mode.
The command used to instantiate an SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior is
straightforward, i.e.:
$ ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End.DT46 vrftable 100 dev vrf100.

Performance and impact of SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior on the SRv6 Networking
=======================================================================
This patch aims to add the SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior with minimal impact on
the performance of SRv6 End.DT4 and End.DT6 Behaviors.
In order to verify this, we tested the performance of the newly introduced
SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior and compared it with the performance of SRv6
End.DT{4,6} Behaviors, considering both the patched kernel and the kernel
before applying the End.DT46 patch (referred to as vanilla kernel).
In details, the following decapsulation scenarios were considered:
1.a) IPv6 traffic in SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior on patched kernel;
1.b) IPv4 traffic in SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior on patched kernel;
2.a) SRv6 End.DT6 Behavior (VRF mode) on patched kernel;
2.b) SRv6 End.DT4 Behavior on patched kernel;
3.a) SRv6 End.DT6 Behavior (VRF mode) on vanilla kernel (without the
End.DT46 patch);
3.b) SRv6 End.DT4 Behavior on vanilla kernel (without the End.DT46 patch).
All tests were performed on a testbed deployed on the CloudLab [2]
facilities. We considered IPv{4,6} traffic handled by a single core (at 2.4
GHz on a Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3) on kernel 5.13-rc1 using packets of size
~ 100 bytes.
Scenario (1.a): average 684.70 kpps; std. dev. 0.7 kpps;
Scenario (1.b): average 711.69 kpps; std. dev. 1.2 kpps;
Scenario (2.a): average 690.70 kpps; std. dev. 1.2 kpps;
Scenario (2.b): average 722.22 kpps; std. dev. 1.7 kpps;
Scenario (3.a): average 690.02 kpps; std. dev. 2.6 kpps;
Scenario (3.b): average 721.91 kpps; std. dev. 1.2 kpps;
Considering the results for the patched kernel (1.a, 1.b, 2.a, 2.b) we
observe that the performance degradation incurred in using End.DT46 rather
than End.DT6 and End.DT4 respectively for IPv6 and IPv4 traffic is minimal,
around 0.9% and 1.5%. Such very minimal performance degradation is the
price to be paid if one prefers to use a single tunnel capable of handling
both types of traffic (IPv4 and IPv6).
Comparing the results for End.DT4 and End.DT6 under the patched and the
vanilla kernel (2.a, 2.b, 3.a, 3.b) we observe that the introduction of the
End.DT46 patch has no impact on the performance of End.DT4 and End.DT6.

This patch provides counters for SRv6 Behaviors as defined in [1],
section 6. For each SRv6 Behavior instance, counters defined in [1] are:
- the total number of packets that have been correctly processed;
- the total amount of traffic in bytes of all packets that have been
correctly processed;
In addition, this patch introduces a new counter that counts the number of
packets that have NOT been properly processed (i.e. errors) by an SRv6
Behavior instance.
Counters are not only interesting for network monitoring purposes (i.e.
counting the number of packets processed by a given behavior) but they also
provide a simple tool for checking whether a behavior instance is working
as we expect or not.
Counters can be useful for troubleshooting misconfigured SRv6 networks.
Indeed, an SRv6 Behavior can silently drop packets for very different
reasons (i.e. wrong SID configuration, interfaces set with SID addresses,
etc) without any notification/message to the user.
Due to the nature of SRv6 networks, diagnostic tools such as ping and
traceroute may be ineffective: paths used for reaching a given router can
be totally different from the ones followed by probe packets. In addition,
paths are often asymmetrical and this makes it even more difficult to keep
up with the journey of the packets and to understand which behaviors are
actually processing our traffic.
When counters are enabled on an SRv6 Behavior instance, it is possible to
verify if packets are actually processed by such behavior and what is the
outcome of the processing. Therefore, the counters for SRv6 Behaviors offer
an non-invasive observability point which can be leveraged for both traffic
monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
[1] https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8986.html#name-counters
Troubleshooting using SRv6 Behavior counters
--------------------------------------------
Let's make a brief example to see how helpful counters can be for SRv6
networks. Let's consider a node where an SRv6 End Behavior receives an SRv6
packet whose Segment Left (SL) is equal to 0. In this case, the End
Behavior (which accepts only packets with SL >= 1) discards the packet and
increases the error counter.
This information can be leveraged by the network operator for
troubleshooting. Indeed, the error counter is telling the user that the
packet:
(i) arrived at the node;
(ii) the packet has been taken into account by the SRv6 End behavior;
(iii) but an error has occurred during the processing.
The error (iii) could be caused by different reasons, such as wrong route
settings on the node or due to an invalid SID List carried by the SRv6
packet. Anyway, the error counter is used to exclude that the packet did
not arrive at the node or it has not been processed by the behavior at
all.
Turning on/off counters for SRv6 Behaviors
------------------------------------------
Each SRv6 Behavior instance can be configured, at the time of its creation,
to make use of counters.
This is done through iproute2 which allows the user to create an SRv6
Behavior instance specifying the optional "count" attribute as shown in the
following example:
$ ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End count dev eth0
per-behavior counters can be shown by adding "-s" to the iproute2 command
line, i.e.:
$ ip -s -6 route show 2001:db8::1
2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End packets 0 bytes 0 errors 0 dev eth0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Impact of counters for SRv6 Behaviors on performance
====================================================
To determine the performance impact due to the introduction of counters in
the SRv6 Behavior subsystem, we have carried out extensive tests.
We chose to test the throughput achieved by the SRv6 End.DX2 Behavior
because, among all the other behaviors implemented so far, it reaches the
highest throughput which is around 1.5 Mpps (per core at 2.4 GHz on a
Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3) on kernel 5.12-rc2 using packets of size ~ 100
bytes.
Three different tests were conducted in order to evaluate the overall
throughput of the SRv6 End.DX2 Behavior in the following scenarios:
1) vanilla kernel (without the SRv6 Behavior counters patch) and a single
instance of an SRv6 End.DX2 Behavior;
2) patched kernel with SRv6 Behavior counters and a single instance of
an SRv6 End.DX2 Behavior with counters turned off;
3) patched kernel with SRv6 Behavior counters and a single instance of
SRv6 End.DX2 Behavior with counters turned on.
All tests were performed on a testbed deployed on the CloudLab facilities
[2], a flexible infrastructure dedicated to scientific research on the
future of Cloud Computing.
Results of tests are shown in the following table:
Scenario (1): average 1504764,81 pps (~1504,76 kpps); std. dev 3956,82 pps
Scenario (2): average 1501469,78 pps (~1501,47 kpps); std. dev 2979,85 pps
Scenario (3): average 1501315,13 pps (~1501,32 kpps); std. dev 2956,00 pps
As can be observed, throughputs achieved in scenarios (2),(3) did not
suffer any observable degradation compared to scenario (1).

The set of required attributes for a given SRv6 behavior is identified
using a bitmap stored in an unsigned long, since the initial design of SRv6
networking in Linux. Recently the same approach has been used for
identifying the optional attributes.
However, the number of attributes supported by SRv6 behaviors depends on
the size of the unsigned long type which changes with the architecture.
Indeed, on a 64-bit architecture, an SRv6 behavior can support up to 64
attributes while on a 32-bit architecture it can support at most 32
attributes.
To fool-proof the processing of SRv6 behaviors we verify, at compile time,
that the set of all supported SRv6 attributes can be encoded into a bitmap
stored in an unsigned long. Otherwise, kernel build fails forcing
developers to reconsider adding a new attribute or extend the total
number of supported attributes by the SRv6 behaviors.
Moreover, we replace all patterns (1 << i) with the macro SEG6_F_ATTR(i) in
order to address potential overflow issues caused by 32-bit signed
arithmetic.
Thanks to Colin Ian King for catching the overflow problem, providing a
solution and inspiring this patch.
Thanks to Jakub Kicinski for his useful suggestions during the design of

SRv6 End.DT6 is defined in the SRv6 Network Programming [1].
The Linux kernel already offers an implementation of the SRv6
End.DT6 behavior which permits IPv6 L3 VPNs over SRv6 networks. This
implementation is not particularly suitable in contexts where we need to
deploy IPv6 L3 VPNs among different tenants which share the same network
address schemes. The underlying problem lies in the fact that the
current version of DT6 (called legacy DT6 from now on) needs a complex
configuration to be applied on routers which requires ad-hoc routes and
routing policy rules to ensure the correct isolation of tenants.
Consequently, a new implementation of DT6 has been introduced with the
aim of simplifying the construction of IPv6 L3 VPN services in the
multi-tenant environment using SRv6 networks. To accomplish this task,
we reused the same VRF infrastructure and SRv6 core components already
exploited for implementing the SRv6 End.DT4 behavior.
Currently the two End.DT6 implementations coexist seamlessly and can be
used depending on the context and the user preferences. So, in order to
support both versions of DT6 a new attribute (vrftable) has been
introduced which allows us to differentiate the implementation of the
behavior to be used.
A SRv6 End.DT6 legacy behavior is still instantiated using a command
like the following one:
$ ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End.DT6 table 100 dev eth0
While to instantiate the SRv6 End.DT6 in VRF mode, the command is still
pretty straight forward:
$ ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End.DT6 vrftable 100 dev eth0.
Obviously as in the case of SRv6 End.DT4, the VRF strict_mode parameter
must be set (net.vrf.strict_mode=1) and the VRF associated with table
100 must exist.
Please note that the instances of SRv6 End.DT6 legacy and End.DT6 VRF
mode can coexist in the same system/configuration without problems.

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.

Before this patch, each SRv6 behavior specifies a set of required
attributes that must be provided by the userspace application when such
behavior is going to be instantiated. If at least one of the required
attributes is not provided, the creation of the behavior fails.
The SRv6 behavior framework lacks a way to manage optional attributes.
By definition, an optional attribute for a SRv6 behavior consists of an
attribute which may or may not be provided by the userspace. Therefore,
if an optional attribute is missing (and thus not supplied by the user)
the creation of the behavior goes ahead without any issue.
This patch explicitly differentiates the required attributes from the
optional attributes. In particular, each behavior can declare a set of
required attributes and a set of optional ones.
The semantic of the required attributes remains *totally* unaffected by
this patch. The introduction of the optional attributes does NOT impact
on the backward compatibility of the existing SRv6 behaviors.
It is essential to note that if an (optional or required) attribute is
supplied to a SRv6 behavior which does not expect it, the behavior
simply discards such attribute without generating any error or warning.
This operating mode remained unchanged both before and after the
introduction of the optional attributes extension.
The optional attributes are one of the key components used to implement
the SRv6 End.DT6 behavior based on the Virtual Routing and Forwarding
(VRF) framework. The optional attributes make possible the coexistence
of the already existing SRv6 End.DT6 implementation with the new SRv6
End.DT6 VRF-based implementation without breaking any backward
compatibility. Further details on the SRv6 End.DT6 behavior (VRF mode)
are reported in subsequent patches.
From the userspace point of view, the support for optional attributes DO
NOT require any changes to the userspace applications, i.e: iproute2
unless new attributes (required or optional) are needed.

and updates the tunnel state (slwt) with the result of the parsing
operation. However, an attribute may also need to reserve some additional
resources (i.e.: memory or setting up an eBPF program) in the parse()
callback to complete the parsing operation.
The parse() callbacks are invoked by the parse_nla_action() for each
attribute belonging to a specific behavior. Given a behavior with N
attributes, if the parsing of the i-th attribute fails, the
parse_nla_action() returns immediately with an error. Nonetheless, the
resources acquired during the parsing of the i-1 attributes are not freed
by the parse_nla_action().
Attributes which acquire resources must release them *in an explicit way*
in both the seg6_local_{build/destroy}_state(). However, adding a new
attribute of this type requires changes to
seg6_local_{build/destroy}_state() to release the resources correctly.
The seg6local infrastructure still lacks a simple and structured way to
release the resources acquired in the parse() operations.
We introduced a new callback in the struct seg6_action_param named
destroy(). This callback releases any resource which may have been acquired
in the parse() counterpart. Each attribute may or may not implement the
destroy() callback depending on whether it needs to free some acquired
resources.
The destroy() callback comes with several of advantages:
1) we can have many attributes as we want for a given behavior with no
need to explicitly free the taken resources;
2) As in case of the seg6_local_build_state(), the
seg6_local_destroy_state() does not need to handle the release of
resources directly. Indeed, it calls the destroy_attrs() function which
is in charge of calling the destroy() callback for every set attribute.
We do not need to patch seg6_local_{build/destroy}_state() anymore as
we add new attributes;
3) the code is more readable and better structured. Indeed, all the
information needed to handle a given attribute are contained in only
one place;
4) it facilitates the integration with new features introduced in further
patches.

The seg6_validate_srh() is used to validate SRH for three cases:
case1: SRH of data-plane SRv6 packets to be processed by the Linux kernel.
Case2: SRH of the netlink message received from user-space (iproute2)
Case3: SRH injected into packets through setsockopt
In case1, the SRH can be encoded in the Reduced way (i.e., first SID is
carried in DA only and not represented as SID in the SRH) and the
seg6_validate_srh() now handles this case correctly.
In case2 and case3, the SRH shouldn’t be encoded in the Reduced way
otherwise we lose the first segment (i.e., the first hop).
The current implementation of the seg6_validate_srh() allow SRH of case2
and case3 to be encoded in the Reduced way. This leads a slab-out-of-bounds
problem.
This patch verifies SRH of case1, case2 and case3. Allowing case1 to be
reduced while preventing SRH of case2 and case3 from being reduced .

After LRO/GRO is applied, SRv6 encapsulated packets have
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 feature flag, and this flag must be removed right after
decapulation procedure.
Currently, SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 flag is not removed on End.D* actions, which
creates inconsistent packet state, that is, a normal TCP/IP packets
have the SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 flag. This behavior can cause unexpected
fallback to GSO on routing to netdevices that do not support
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6. For example, on inter-VRF forwarding, decapsulated
packets separated into small packets by GSO because VRF devices do not
support TSO for packets with SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 flag, and this degrades
forwarding performance.
This patch removes encapsulation related GSO flags from the skb right
after the End.D* action is applied.

End.DT6 behavior makes use of seg6_lookup_nexthop() function which drops
all packets that are destined to be locally processed. However, DT* should
be able to deliver decapsulated packets that are destined to local
addresses. Function seg6_lookup_nexthop() is also used by DX6, so in order
to maintain compatibility I created another routing helper function which
is called seg6_lookup_any_nexthop(). This function is able to take into
account both packets that have to be processed locally and the ones that
are destined to be forwarded directly to another machine. Hence,
seg6_lookup_any_nexthop() is used in DT6 rather than seg6_lookup_nexthop()

consequence, after routing operations, destination input expects to find

We currently have two levels of strict validation:
1) liberal (default)
- undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
- garbage at end of message accepted
2) strict (opt-in)
- NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
* TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
attributes (in message or nested)
* MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type
* UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
* STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size
The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().
Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.
We end up with the following renames:
* nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated
* nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict
* nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated
* nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.
Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

The seg6local LWT provides the End.DT6 action, which allows to

(SRH), full specification is available here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-filsfils-spring-srv6-network-programming-05
This patch adds this action now to the seg6local BPF

contains a SRH, seg6_bpf_srh_state has been extended with a pointer to
a possible SRH of the outermost IPv6 header. This helps assessing if the
validation must be triggered or not, and avoids some calls to

This patch adds the End.BPF action to the LWT seg6local infrastructure.
This action works like any other seg6local End action, meaning that an IPv6
header with SRH is needed, whose DA has to be equal to the SID of the
action. It will also advance the SRH to the next segment, the BPF program
does not have to take care of this.
Since the BPF program may not be a source of instability in the kernel, it
is important to ensure that the integrity of the packet is maintained
before yielding it back to the IPv6 layer. The hook hence keeps track if
the SRH has been altered through the helpers, and re-validates its
content if needed with seg6_validate_srh. The state kept for validation is
stored in a per-CPU buffer. The BPF program is not allowed to directly
write into the packet, and only some fields of the SRH can be altered
through the helper bpf_lwt_seg6_store_bytes.
Performances profiling has shown that the SRH re-validation does not induce
a significant overhead. If the altered SRH is deemed as invalid, the packet
is dropped.
This validation is also done before executing any action through
bpf_lwt_seg6_action, and will not be performed again if the SRH is not
modified after calling the action.
The BPF program may return 3 types of return codes:
- BPF_OK: the End.BPF action will look up the next destination through
seg6_lookup_nexthop.
- BPF_REDIRECT: if an action has been executed through the
bpf_lwt_seg6_action helper, the BPF program should return this
value, as the skb's destination is already set and the default
lookup should not be performed.
- BPF_DROP : the packet will be dropped.

The BPF seg6local hook should be powerful enough to enable users to
implement most of the use-cases one could think of. After some thinking,
we figured out that the following actions should be possible on a SRv6
packet, requiring 3 specific helpers :
- bpf_lwt_seg6_store_bytes: Modify non-sensitive fields of the SRH
- bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh: Allow to grow or shrink a SRH
(to add/delete TLVs)
- bpf_lwt_seg6_action: Apply some SRv6 network programming actions
(specifically End.X, End.T, End.B6 and
End.B6.Encap)
The specifications of these helpers are provided in the patch (see
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h).
The non-sensitive fields of the SRH are the following : flags, tag and
TLVs. The other fields can not be modified, to maintain the SRH
integrity. Flags, tag and TLVs can easily be modified as their validity
can be checked afterwards via seg6_validate_srh. It is not allowed to
modify the segments directly. If one wants to add segments on the path,
he should stack a new SRH using the End.B6 action via
bpf_lwt_seg6_action.
Growing, shrinking or editing TLVs via the helpers will flag the SRH as
invalid, and it will have to be re-validated before re-entering the IPv6
layer. This flag is stored in a per-CPU buffer, along with the current
header length in bytes.
Storing the SRH len in bytes in the control block is mandatory when using
bpf_lwt_seg6_adjust_srh. The Header Ext. Length field contains the SRH
len rounded to 8 bytes (a padding TLV can be inserted to ensure the 8-bytes
boundary). When adding/deleting TLVs within the BPF program, the SRH may
temporary be in an invalid state where its length cannot be rounded to 8
bytes without remainder, hence the need to store the length in bytes
separately. The caller of the BPF program can then ensure that the SRH's
final length is valid using this value. Again, a final SRH modified by a
BPF program which doesn’t respect the 8-bytes boundary will be discarded
as it will be considered as invalid.
Finally, a fourth helper is provided, bpf_lwt_push_encap, which is
available from the LWT BPF IN hook, but not from the seg6local BPF one.
This helper allows to encapsulate a Segment Routing Header (either with
a new outer IPv6 header, or by inlining it directly in the existing IPv6
header) into a non-SRv6 packet. This helper is required if we want to
offer the possibility to dynamically encapsulate a SRH for non-SRv6 packet,
as the BPF seg6local hook only works on traffic already containing a SRH.
This is the BPF equivalent of the seg6 LWT infrastructure, which achieves
the same purpose but with a static SRH per route.
These helpers require CONFIG_IPV6=y (and not =m).

The function lookup_nexthop is essential to implement most of the seg6local
actions. As we want to provide a BPF helper allowing to apply some of these
actions on the packet being processed, the helper should be able to call
this function, hence the need to make it public.
Moreover, if one argument is incorrect or if the next hop can not be found,
an error should be returned by the BPF helper so the BPF program can adapt
its processing of the packet (return an error, properly force the drop,
...). This patch hence makes this function return dst->error to indicate a
possible error.

IPv6 packet may carry more than one extension header, and IPv6 nodes must
accept and attempt to process extension headers in any order and occurring
any number of times in the same packet. Hence, there should be no
assumption that Segment Routing extension header is to appear immediately
after the IPv6 header.
Moreover, section 4.1 of RFC 8200 gives a recommendation on the order of
appearance of those extension headers within an IPv6 packet. According to
this recommendation, Segment Routing extension header should appear after
Hop-by-Hop and Destination Options headers (if they present).
This patch fixes the get_srh(), so it gets the segment routing header

This patch implements a new type of lightweight tunnel named seg6local.
A seg6local lwt is defined by a type of action and a set of parameters.
The action represents the operation to perform on the packets matching the
lwt's route, and is not necessarily an encapsulation. The set of parameters
are arguments for the processing function.
Each action is defined in a struct seg6_action_desc within
seg6_action_table[]. This structure contains the action, mandatory
attributes, the processing function, and a static headroom size required by
the action. The mandatory attributes are encoded as a bitmask field. The
static headroom is set to a non-zero value when the processing function
always add a constant number of bytes to the skb (e.g. the header size for
encapsulations).
To facilitate rtnetlink-related operations such as parsing, fill_encap,
and cmp_encap, each type of action parameter is associated to three
function pointers, in seg6_action_params[].
All actions defined in seg6_local.h are detailed in [1].
