An MPLS network is a single trust domain where the edges must be in control of what labels make their way into the core. The simplest way of ensuring this is for the edge device to always impose the labels, and not allow forward labeled traffic from untrusted neighbours. This is achieved by allowing a per-device configuration of whether MPLS traffic input from that interface should be processed or not. To be secure by default, the default state is changed to MPLS being disabled on all interfaces unless explicitly enabled and no global option is provided to change the default. Whilst this differs from other protocols (e.g. IPv6), network operators are used to explicitly enabling MPLS forwarding on interfaces, and with the number of links to the MPLS core typically fairly low this doesn't present too much of a burden on operators.

Add per-device MPLS state to supported interfaces. Use the presence of this state in mpls_route_add to determine that this is a supported interface. Use the presence of mpls_dev to drop packets that arrived on an unsupported interface - previously they were allowed through. Cc: "Eric W.

Reading and writing addresses in network byte order in netlink is traditional and I see no reason to change that. MPLS is interesting as effectively it has variabely length addresses (the MPLS label stack). To represent these variable length addresses in netlink I use a valid MPLS label stack (complete with stop bit). This achieves two things: a well defined existing format is used, and the data can be interpreted without looking at it's length. Not needed to look at the length to decode the variable length network representation allows existing userspace functions such as inet_ntop to be used without needed to change their prototype.

This change adds a new Kconfig option MPLS_ROUTING. The core of this change is the code to look at an mpls packet received from another machine. Look that packet up in a routing table and forward the packet on. Support of MPLS over ATM is not considered or attempted here. This implemntation follows RFC3032 and implements the MPLS shim header that can pass over essentially any network. What RFC3021 refers to as the as the Incoming Label Map (ILM) I call net->mpls.platform_label[]. What RFC3031 refers to as the Next Label Hop Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) I call mpls_route. Though calling it the label fordwarding information base (lfib) might also be valid. Further the implemntation forwards packets as described in RFC3032. There is no need and given the original motivation for MPLS a strong discincentive to have a flexible label forwarding path. In essence the logic is the topmost label is read, looked up, removed, and replaced by 0 or more new lables and the sent out the specified interface to it's next hop. Quite a few optional features are not implemented here. Among them are generation of ICMP errors when the TTL is exceeded or the packet is larger than the next hop MTU (those conditions are detected and the packets are dropped instead of generating an icmp error). The traffic class field is always set to 0. The implementation focuses on IP over MPLS and does not handle egress of other kinds of protocols. Instead of implementing coordination with the neighbour table and sorting out how to input next hops in a different address family (for which there is value). I was lazy and implemented a next hop mac address instead. The code is simpler and there are flavor of MPLS such as MPLS-TP where neither an IPv4 nor an IPv6 next hop is appropriate so a next hop by mac address would need to be implemented at some point. Two new definitions AF_MPLS and PF_MPLS are exposed to userspace. Decoding the mpls header must be done by first byeswapping a 32bit bit endian word into the local cpu endian and then bit shifting to extract the pieces. There is no C bit-field that can represent a wire format mpls header on a little endian machine as the low bits of the 20bit label wind up in the wrong half of third byte. Therefore internally everything is deal with in cpu native byte order except when writing to and reading from a packet. For management simplicity if a label is configured to forward out an interface that is down the packet is dropped early. Similarly if an network interface is removed rt_dev is updated to NULL (so no reference is preserved) and any packets for that label are dropped. Keeping the label entries in the kernel allows the kernel label table to function as the definitive source of which labels are allocated and which are not. Signed-off-by: N"Eric W.
