This patch set adds support to get netlink notifications for ILA
routes when a route is used.
This patch set contains:
- General infrastructure for route notifications
- The ILA route notification mechanism
- Add net to ila build_state
- Add flush command to ila_xlat
- Fix use of rhashtable for latest fixes
Route notifications will be used in conjunction with populating
ILA forwarding caches. There are three methods described in
the ILA Mapping Protocol. These are redirects, request/reply,
and push. The ILA route mechanism is relevant to the first two methods.
- ILA router secure redirect mechanism-- This is used on an ILA
router where a notification is sent when an ILA host route is
used. The purpose of this notification is to send an
ILA redirect towards the ILA forwarding node of a source to
inform it of a direct ILA route. When the forwarding node
receives the redirect it can populate its cache so that
subsequent packets take the direct path. This is the
RECOMMENDED method.
- Cache address resolution-- This used to perform request/reply
address resolution on a route. As noted on netdev list, a
request/reply mechanism is susceptible to DOS attacks.
For this reason, this method is not NOT RECOMMENDED as the
primary means to populate an ILA cache.
ILAMP is described in
https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-herbert-ila-ilamp-00.txt
Tested:
Ran ILA traffic, set up ILA notify routes and observed correct
routing message via ip monitor.
v5:
- Fix some compiler and sparse warnings
- Generalize route notify with RTM_NOTIFYROUTE,
RTNLGRP_ROUTE_NOTIFY (suggested by Roopa)
v4:
- Remove front end cache per davem feedback
- Eliminate separate LWT type just use ILA LWT already in place
v3:
- Removed rhashtable changes to their own patch set
- Restructure ILA code to be more amenable to changes
- Remove extra call back functions in resolution interface
Changes from initial RFC:
- Added net argument to LWT build_state
- Made resolve timeout an attribute of the LWT encap route
- Changed ILA notifications to be regular routing messages of event
RTM_ADDR_RESOLVE, family RTNL_FAMILY_ILA, and group
RTNLGRP_ILA_NOTIFY
