=================
Implement support for VF tunneling
Abstract
Currently, mlx5 only supports configuration with tunnel endpoint IP address on
uplink representor. Remove implicit and explicit assumptions of tunnel always
being terminated on uplink and implement necessary infrastructure for
configuring tunnels on VF representors and updating rules on such tunnels
according to routing changes.
SW TC model
From TC perspective VF tunnel configuration requires two rules in both
directions:
TX rules
1. Rule that redirects packets from UL to VF rep that has the tunnel
endpoint IP address:
$ tc -s filter show dev enp8s0f0 ingress
filter protocol ip pref 4 flower chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 4 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
dst_mac 16:c9:a0:2d:69:2c
src_mac 0c:42:a1:58:ab:e4
eth_type ipv4
ip_flags nofrag
in_hw in_hw_count 1
action order 1: mirred (Egress Redirect to device enp8s0f0_0) stolen

2. Rule that decapsulates the tunneled flow and redirects to destination VF
representor:
$ tc -s filter show dev vxlan_sys_4789 ingress

RX rules
1. Rule that encapsulates the tunneled flow and redirects packets from
source VF rep to tunnel device:
$ tc -s filter show dev enp8s0f0_1 ingress
filter protocol ip pref 4 flower chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 4 flower chain 0 handle 0x1

HW offloads model
For hardware offload the goal is to mach packet on both rules without exposing
it to software on tunnel endpoint VF. In order to achieve this for tx, TC
implementation marks encap rules with tunnel endpoint on mlx5 VF of same eswitch
with MLX5_ESW_DEST_CHAIN_WITH_SRC_PORT_CHANGE flag and adds header modification
rule to overwrite packet source port to the value of tunnel VF. Eswitch code is
modified to recirculate such packets after source port value is changed, which
allows second tx rules to match.
For rx path indirect table infrastructure is used to allow fully processing VF
tunnel traffic in hardware. To implement such pipeline driver needs to program
the hardware after matching on UL rule to overwrite source vport from UL to
tunnel VF and recirculate the packet to the root table to allow matching on the
rule installed on tunnel VF. For this, indirect table matches all encapsulated
traffic by tunnel parameters and all other IP traffic is sent to tunnel VF by
the miss rule. Such configuration will cause packet to appear on VF representor
instead of VF itself if packet has been matches by indirect table rule based on
tunnel parameters but missed on second rule (after recirculation). Handle such
case by marking packets processed by indirect table with special 0xFFF value in
reg_c1 and extending slow table with additional flow group that matches on
reg_c0 (source port value set by indirect tables) and reg_c1 (special 0xFFF
mark). When creating offloads fdb tables, install one rule per VF vport to match
on recirculated miss packets and redirect them to appropriate VF vport.
Routing events
In order to support routing changes and migration of tunnel device between
different endpoint VFs, implement routing infrastructure and update it with FIB
events. Routing entry table is introduced to mlx5 TC. Every rx and tx VF tunnel
rule is attached to a routing entry, which is shared for rules of same tunnel.
On FIB event the work is scheduled to delete/recreate all rules of affected
tunnel.
Note: only vxlan tunnel type is supported by this series.
