      vxlan: ecmp support for mac fdb entries · 1274e1cc
      Roopa Prabhu 提交于
      Todays vxlan mac fdb entries can point to multiple remote
      ips (rdsts) with the sole purpose of replicating
      broadcast-multicast and unknown unicast packets to those remote ips.
      
      E-VPN multihoming [1,2,3] requires bridged vxlan traffic to be
      load balanced to remote switches (vteps) belonging to the
      same multi-homed ethernet segment (E-VPN multihoming is analogous
      to multi-homed LAG implementations, but with the inter-switch
      peerlink replaced with a vxlan tunnel). In other words it needs
      support for mac ecmp. Furthermore, for faster convergence, E-VPN
      multihoming needs the ability to update fdb ecmp nexthops independent
      of the fdb entries.
      
      New route nexthop API is perfect for this usecase.
      This patch extends the vxlan fdb code to take a nexthop id
      pointing to an ecmp nexthop group.
      
      Changes include:
      - New NDA_NH_ID attribute for fdbs
      - Use the newly added fdb nexthop groups
      - makes vxlan rdsts and nexthop handling code mutually
        exclusive
      - since this is a new use-case and the requirement is for ecmp
      nexthop groups, the fdb add and update path checks that the
      nexthop is really an ecmp nexthop group. This check can be relaxed
      in the future, if we want to introduce replication fdb nexthop groups
      and allow its use in lieu of current rdst lists.
      - fdb update requests with nexthop id's only allowed for existing
      fdb's that have nexthop id's
      - learning will not override an existing fdb entry with nexthop
      group
      - I have wrapped the switchdev offload code around the presence of
      rdst
