Currently the VRF driver registers an Rx handler for enslaved devices.
The handler switches the skb->dev to the VRF device and sends it back for
another pass. While this works fine a side effect is that it bypasses
netfilter with the skb set to the original device.


Arg ... yet another hook in packet processing fast path...

What are long term plans for VRF ? Will it stay VRF-Lite or what ?

Cumulus Networks is invested in the VRF solution, and we will be here for the long haul. We want a feature complete, performant and stable solution for open networking. My preference is for a built-in solution rather than a bolted on one and I am trying to do that by engaging the community and getting feedback early for decisions and preferences.

As for the details, I am finishing IPv4 integration now. Basic VRF-lite situations work great and I have tested a few IPsec and MPLS setups as well. I have one more patch to address Tom's comment regarding udp_sendmsg; I need to verify it works for fragmentation and I'll push it out. After that I will start on IPv6 next week.
