In the netdev datapath, packets arriving over a tunnel are processed by
more than one flow. For example a packet that should be decapsulated and
forwarded to another port is processed by two flows:
1. in_port=<PF>, outer-header matches, dst-port=4789 (VXLAN),
actions:tnl_pop(vxlan_sys_4789).
2. in_port=vxlan_sys_4789, tunnel matches (VNI for example),
inner-header matches, actions: vm1.
In order to offload such a multi-flow processing path, a multi-table HW
model is used. Flow #1 matches are offloaded as is, but tnl_pop is
translated to MARK and JUMP to a tnl-port table actions. Flow #2 is
offloaded to that tnl-port table, its tunnel matches are translated to
outer-header matches, followed by the inner-header ones. The actions
start with an implicit DECAP action followed by the flow's actions.
The DECAP is done in flow #2. If it was done in flow #1, the outer
headers of the packets would have been lost, and they could not have
been matched in flow #2.
Furthermore, once the HW processing path is composed of a multi table
processing, there is a need to handle a case where the processing starts
in HW, but is not completed in HW. For example, only flow #1 is
offloaded while flow #2 doesn't exist. For that, the MARK value set in
the tnl_pop action is received in SW, the packet is recovered by the
mapped vport, and processing continues in SW.
As vports are virtual and cannot have rte_flows, offloading a vport
generates rte_flows for every PF in the system, as we cannot know from
which one the packets arrive from.
This series adds support for IPv6, tunnel push actions, and the
multi-table model for the decap processing.
