      ipv4: ipmr: Don't forward packets already forwarded by hardware · a5bc9294
      由 Yotam Gigi 提交于 
      Change the ipmr module to not forward packets if:
 - The packet is marked with the offload_mr_fwd_mark, and
 - Both input interface and output interface share the same parent ID.

This way, a packet can go through partial multicast forwarding in the
hardware, where it will be forwarded only to the devices that share the
same parent ID (AKA, reside inside the same hardware). The kernel will
forward the packet to all other interfaces.

To do this, add the ipmr_offload_forward helper, which per skb, ingress VIF
and egress VIF, returns whether the forwarding was offloaded to hardware.
The ipmr_queue_xmit frees the skb and does not forward it if the result is
a true value.

All the forwarding path code compiles out when the CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is
not set.

      ipv4: ipmr: Add the parent ID field to VIF struct · 5d8b3e69
      由 Yotam Gigi 提交于 
      In order to allow the ipmr module to do partial multicast forwarding
according to the device parent ID, add the device parent ID field to the
VIF struct. This way, the forwarding path can use the parent ID field
without invoking switchdev calls, which requires the RTNL lock.

When a new VIF is added, set the device parent ID field in it by invoking
the switchdev_port_attr_get call.

      skbuff: Add the offload_mr_fwd_mark field · abf4bb6b
      由 Yotam Gigi 提交于 
      Similarly to the offload_fwd_mark field, the offload_mr_fwd_mark field is
used to allow partial offloading of MFC multicast routes.

Switchdev drivers can offload MFC multicast routes to the hardware by
registering to the FIB notification chain. When one of the route output
interfaces is not offload-able, i.e. has different parent ID, the route
cannot be fully offloaded by the hardware. Examples to non-offload-able
devices are a management NIC, dummy device, pimreg device, etc.

Similar problem exists in the bridge module, as one bridge can hold
interfaces with different parent IDs. At the bridge, the problem is solved
by the offload_fwd_mark skb field.

Currently, when a route cannot go through full offload, the only solution
for a switchdev driver is not to offload it at all and let the packet go
through slow path.

Using the offload_mr_fwd_mark field, a driver can indicate that a packet
was already forwarded by hardware to all the devices with the same parent
ID as the input device. Further patches in this patch-set are going to
enhance ipmr to skip multicast forwarding to devices with the same parent
ID if a packets is marked with that field.

The reason why the already existing "offload_fwd_mark" bit cannot be used
is that a switchdev driver would want to make the distinction between a
packet that has already gone through L2 forwarding but did not go through
multicast forwarding, and a packet that has already gone through both L2
and multicast forwarding.

For example: when a packet is ingressing from a switchport enslaved to a
bridge, which is configured with multicast forwarding, the following
scenarios are possible:
 - The packet can be trapped to the CPU due to exception while multicast
   forwarding (for example, MTU error). In that case, it had already gone
   through L2 forwarding in the hardware, thus A switchdev driver would
   want to set the skb->offload_fwd_mark and not the
   skb->offload_mr_fwd_mark.
 - The packet can also be trapped due to a pimreg/dummy device used as one
   of the output interfaces. In that case, it can go through both L2 and
   (partial) multicast forwarding inside the hardware, thus a switchdev
   driver would want to set both the skb->offload_fwd_mark and
   skb->offload_mr_fwd_mark.
