The vxlan interface encapsulates the Ethernet frame by prepending IP/UDP
and vxlan headers. For statistics, only the payload, i.e. the

Allow udp tunnel functions to indicate they have not taken ownership of
the packet, and that normal UDP processing should continue.
This is especially useful for scenarios where the kernel has taken
ownership of a socket that was originally created by userspace. It
allows the tunnel function to pass through certain packets for userspace
processing.
The primary user of this is if_ovpn, when it receives messages from
unknown peers (which might be a new client).

Otherwise it breaks when offloading like checksum or TSO are used,
because second (encapsulated) ip_output() processing passes fragments of
the encapsulated packet down to the hardware interface.

In some settings offload might calculate hash from decapsulated packet.
Reserve a bit in packet header rsstype to indicate that.
Add m_adj_decap() that acts similarly to m_adj, but also either clear
flowid if it is not marked as inner, or transfer it to the decapsulated
header, clearing inner indicator. It depends on the internals of m_adj()
that reuses the argument packet header for the result.
Use m_adj_decap() for decapsulating vxlan(4) and gif(4) input packets.

The packet, if processed at this point, was already parsed to be UDP
directed to a vxlan port.
Connect-X 4+ does not provide easy method to infer which parser
processed the packet, so driver cannot set the flag without a lot of
efforts which are only to satisfy the formal requirements.

This lets a VXLAN pseudo-interface take advantage of hardware checksumming (tx
and rx), TSO, and RSS if the NIC is capable of performing these operations on
inner VXLAN traffic.
A VXLAN interface inherits the capabilities of its vxlandev interface if one is
specified or of the interface that hosts the vxlanlocal address. If other
interfaces will carry traffic for that VXLAN then they must have the same
hardware capabilities.
On transmit, if_vxlan verifies that the outbound interface has the required
capabilities and then translates the CSUM_ flags to their inner equivalents.
This tells the hardware ifnet that it needs to operate on the inner frame and
not the outer VXLAN headers.
An event is generated when a VXLAN ifnet starts. This allows hardware drivers to
configure their devices to expect VXLAN traffic on the specified incoming port.
On receive, the hardware does RSS and checksum verification on the inner frame.
if_vxlan now does a direct netisr dispatch to take full advantage of RSS. It is
not very clear why it didn't do this already.
Future work:
Rx: it should be possible to avoid the first trip up the protocol stack to get
the frame to if_vxlan just so it can decapsulate and requeue for a second trip
up the stack. The hardware NIC driver could directly call an if_vxlan receive
routine for VXLAN traffic instead.
Rx: LRO. depends on what happens with the previous item. There will have to to
be a mechanism to indicate that it's time for if_vxlan to flush its LRO state.

instead of a linear array.
The multicast memberships for the inpcb structure are protected by a
non-sleepable lock, INP_WLOCK(), which needs to be dropped when
calling the underlying possibly sleeping if_ioctl() method. When using
a linear array to keep track of multicast memberships, the computed
memory location of the multicast filter may suddenly change, due to
concurrent insertion or removal of elements in the linear array. This
in turn leads to various invalid memory access issues and kernel
panics.
To avoid this problem, put all multicast memberships on a STAILQ based
list. Then the memory location of the IPv4 and IPv6 multicast filters
become fixed during their lifetime and use after free and memory leak
issues are easier to track, for example by: vmstat -m | grep multi
All list manipulation has been factored into inline functions
including some macros, to easily allow for a future hash-list
implementation, if needed.
This patch has been tested by pho@ .

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.
