vxlan: Flow based tunneling Allows putting a VXLAN device into a new flow-based mode in which skbs with a ip_tunnel_info dst metadata attached will be encapsulated according to the instructions stored in there with the VXLAN device defaults taken into consideration. Similar on the receive side, if the VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA flag is set, the packet processing will populate a ip_tunnel_info struct for each packet received and attach it to the skb using the new metadata dst. The metadata structure will contain the outer header and tunnel header fields which have been stripped off. Layers further up in the stack such as routing, tc or netfitler can later match on these fields and perform forwarding. It is the responsibility of upper layers to ensure that the flag is set if the metadata is needed. The flag limits the additional cost of metadata collecting based on demand. This prepares the VXLAN device to be steered by the routing and other subsystems which allows to support encapsulation for a large number of tunnel endpoints and tunnel ids through a single net_device which improves the scalability. It also allows for OVS to leverage this mode which in turn allows for the removal of the OVS specific VXLAN code. Because the skb is currently scrubed in vxlan_rcv(), the attachment of the new dst metadata is postponed until after scrubing which requires the temporary addition of a new member to vxlan_metadata. This member is removed again in a later commit after the indirect VXLAN receive API has been removed.

bpf, vxlan, geneve, gre: fix usage of dst_cache on xmit The assumptions from commit 0c1d70af924b ("net: use dst_cache for vxlan device"), 468dfffcd762 ("geneve: add dst caching support") and 3c1cb4d2604c ("net/ipv4: add dst cache support for gre lwtunnels") on dst_cache usage when ip_tunnel_info is used is unfortunately not always valid as assumed. While it seems correct for ip_tunnel_info front-ends such as OVS, eBPF however can fill in ip_tunnel_info for consumers like vxlan, geneve or gre with different remote dsts, tos, etc, therefore they cannot be assumed as packet independent. Right now vxlan, geneve, gre would cache the dst for eBPF and every packet would reuse the same entry that was first created on the initial route lookup. eBPF doesn't store/cache the ip_tunnel_info, so each skb may have a different one. Fix it by adding a flag that checks the ip_tunnel_info. Also the !tos test in vxlan needs to be handeled differently in this context as it is currently inferred from ip_tunnel_info as well if present. ip_tunnel_dst_cache_usable() helper is added for the three tunnel cases, which checks if we can use dst cache.

ip_tunnel: disable preemption when updating per-cpu tstats Drivers like vxlan use the recently introduced udp_tunnel_xmit_skb/udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb APIs. udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb makes use of ip6tunnel_xmit, and ip6tunnel_xmit, after sending the packet, updates the struct stats using the usual u64_stats_update_begin/end calls on this_cpu_ptr(dev->tstats). udp_tunnel_xmit_skb makes use of iptunnel_xmit, which doesn't touch tstats, so drivers like vxlan, immediately after, call iptunnel_xmit_stats, which does the same thing - calls u64_stats_update_begin/end on this_cpu_ptr(dev->tstats). While vxlan is probably fine (I don't know?), calling a similar function from, say, an unbound workqueue, on a fully preemptable kernel causes real issues: [ 188.434537] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: kworker/u8:0/6 [ 188.435579] caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 [ 188.435583] CPU: 0 PID: 6 Comm: kworker/u8:0 Not tainted 4.2.6 #2 [ 188.435607] Call Trace: [ 188.435611] [<ffffffff8234e936>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7b [ 188.435615] [<ffffffff81915f3d>] check_preemption_disabled+0x19d/0x1c0 [ 188.435619] [<ffffffff81915f77>] debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 The solution would be to protect the whole this_cpu_ptr(dev->tstats)/u64_stats_update_begin/end blocks with disabling preemption and then reenabling it.
