net: vrf: ipv4 support for local traffic to local addresses
Add support for locally originated traffic to VRF-local addresses. If
destination device for an skb is the loopback or VRF device then set
its dst to a local version of the VRF cached dst_entry and call netif_rx
to insert the packet onto the rx queue - similar to what is done for
loopback. This patch handles IPv4 support; follow on patch handles IPv6.
With this patch, ping, tcp and udp packets to a local IPv4 address are
successfully routed:
$ ip addr show dev eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master red state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:e0:f9:1c:b9:74 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.100.1.1/24 brd 10.100.1.255 scope global eth1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 2100:1::1/120 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
$ ping -c1 -I red 10.100.1.1
ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than red.
PING 10.100.1.1 (10.100.1.1) from 10.100.1.1 red: 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.100.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.057 ms
This patch also enables use of IPv4 loopback address on the VRF device:
$ ip addr add dev red 127.0.0.1/8
$ ping -c1 -I red 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) from 127.0.0.1 red: 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms
