For EVPN non-DF (Designated Forwarder) filtering we need to be able to
prevent decapsulated traffic from being flooded to a multi-homed host.
Filtering of multicast and broadcast traffic can be achieved using the
following flower filter:
# tc filter add dev bond0 egress pref 1 proto all flower indev vxlan0 dst_mac 01:00:00:00:00:00/01:00:00:00:00:00 action drop
Unlike broadcast and multicast traffic, it is not currently possible to
filter unknown unicast traffic. The classification into unknown unicast
is performed by the bridge driver, but is not visible to other layers
such as tc.
Solve this by adding a new 'l2_miss' bit to the tc skb extension. Clear
the bit whenever a packet enters the bridge (received from a bridge port
or transmitted via the bridge) and set it if the packet did not match an
FDB or MDB entry. If there is no skb extension and the bit needs to be
cleared, then do not allocate one as no extension is equivalent to the
bit being cleared. The bit is not set for broadcast packets as they
never perform a lookup and therefore never incur a miss.
A bit that is set for every flooded packet would also work for the
current use case, but it does not allow us to differentiate between
registered and unregistered multicast traffic, which might be useful in
the future.
To keep the performance impact to a minimum, the marking of packets is
guarded by the 'tc_skb_ext_tc' static key. When 'false', the skb is not
touched and an skb extension is not allocated. Instead, only a
5 bytes nop is executed, as demonstrated below for the call site in
br_handle_frame().
Before the patch:
```
memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb));
c37b09: 49 c7 44 24 28 00 00 movq $0x0,0x28(%r12)
c37b10: 00 00
p = br_port_get_rcu(skb->dev);
c37b12: 49 8b 44 24 10 mov 0x10(%r12),%rax
memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb));
c37b17: 49 c7 44 24 30 00 00 movq $0x0,0x30(%r12)
c37b1e: 00 00
c37b20: 49 c7 44 24 38 00 00 movq $0x0,0x38(%r12)
c37b27: 00 00
```
After the patch (when static key is disabled):
```
memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(struct br_input_skb_cb));
c37c29: 49 c7 44 24 28 00 00 movq $0x0,0x28(%r12)
c37c30: 00 00
c37c32: 49 8d 44 24 28 lea 0x28(%r12),%rax
c37c37: 48 c7 40 08 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x8(%rax)
c37c3e: 00
c37c3f: 48 c7 40 10 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x10(%rax)
c37c46: 00
#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_JUMP_LABEL_HACK
static __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct static_key *key, bool branch)
{
asm_volatile_goto("1:"
c37c47: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
br_tc_skb_miss_set(skb, false);
p = br_port_get_rcu(skb->dev);
c37c4c: 49 8b 44 24 10 mov 0x10(%r12),%rax
```
Subsequent patches will extend the flower classifier to be able to match
on the new 'l2_miss' bit and enable / disable the static key when
filters that match on it are added / deleted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
