Avinash Duduskar 1810ef6cdb bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT flag to bpf_fib_lookup() helper
BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN resolves a VLAN egress. The reverse is also
useful: an XDP program receiving a VLAN-tagged frame on a physical
device wants the lookup to behave as if the packet had arrived on the
corresponding VLAN subinterface, so iif-based policy routing and VRF
table selection use the right ingress.

Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT. When set, params->h_vlan_proto and
params->h_vlan_TCI are read as an input VLAN tag and the matching VLAN
device of params->ifindex is resolved with __vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu().
The device must be up and in the same network namespace as
params->ifindex (a VLAN device can be moved to another netns while
registered on its parent; receive would deliver into that other
namespace, which a lookup here cannot represent). If params->ifindex
is itself a VLAN device, its inner (QinQ) subinterface is matched.
For a bond or team, a tag on a port matches no device and returns
NOT_FWDED; pass the master's ifindex.
The lookup then runs with the resolved device as the ingress;
params->ifindex itself is not modified on the input side. When the
resolved device is enslaved to a VRF, both the full lookup (via the
l3mdev rule) and BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT (via l3mdev_fib_table_rcu())
select the VRF's table from the resolved ingress. That follows from
feeding the resolved device to the flow as the ingress
(fl4.flowi4_iif = dev->ifindex), which is what makes l3mdev resolve
the VRF master from the subinterface rather than from
params->ifindex.

The two failure classes get different treatment on purpose. A
h_vlan_proto other than 802.1Q/802.1ad is API misuse and returns
-EINVAL, since it would otherwise reach the WARN in vlan_proto_idx()
with a program-controlled value. An unmatched VID, a device that is
down, or one in another namespace is a data outcome and returns
BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NOT_FWDED, matching the DIRECT path when
fib_get_table() finds no table and mirroring real ingress, where the
receive path drops such frames. A VID of 0 (a priority tag) is looked
up literally and normally fails the same way; receive instead
processes such frames untagged, so callers should not set the flag for
priority tags. Proceeding on the physical device for any of these
would be fail-open for the policy-routing cases above.

The h_vlan fields share a union with tbid, so the flag cannot be
combined with BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_TBID. It describes ingress, so it also
cannot be combined with BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT. Both combinations
return -EINVAL; restricting now keeps a later relaxation backward
compatible. Combining with BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN is allowed: the tag is
consumed on the ingress side and the egress tag is written on
success.

Under !CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q the __vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu() stub returns
NULL, so every lookup with a valid proto returns NOT_FWDED, which is
correct since no VLAN device can exist.

Avinash Duduskar a432251e60 bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN flag to bpf_fib_lookup() helper
bpf_fib_lookup() returns the FIB-resolved egress ifindex straight
from the fib result. When the egress is a VLAN device, the returned
ifindex is the VLAN netdev's, which has no XDP xmit handler; XDP
programs that want to forward the frame (e.g. xdp-forward) must
instead target the underlying physical device and push the VLAN tag
themselves. Today the program has no way to learn either the
underlying ifindex or the VLAN tag without maintaining its own
VLAN-to-ifindex map in userspace and refreshing it on netlink
events.

Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN. When the caller sets this flag and the fib
result is a VLAN device whose immediate parent is a real (non-VLAN)
device in the same network namespace, populate the existing output
fields params->h_vlan_proto and params->h_vlan_TCI from the VLAN
device and replace params->ifindex with the parent's ifindex.
params->h_vlan_TCI carries the VID only, with PCP and DEI bits zero; a
consumer wanting to set egress priority writes PCP itself.
params->smac is the VLAN device's own address, which can differ from
the parent's.

Only the immediate parent is resolved, via vlan_dev_priv(dev)->real_dev
and not vlan_dev_real_dev(), which walks to the bottom of a stack. When
the immediate parent is not a real device in the same namespace, the
lookup returns BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_VLAN_FAILURE and leaves params->ifindex
at the input. This covers a stacked VLAN (QinQ), where the immediate
parent is itself a VLAN device and one h_vlan_proto/h_vlan_TCI pair
cannot describe two tags, and a parent in another network namespace (a
VLAN device can be moved while its parent stays), whose ifindex would
be meaningless in the caller's namespace. A program that wants the
VLAN device's own ifindex re-issues the lookup, with a re-initialized
params, without BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN, so the unreducible case stays
distinct from a physical egress. That distinction matters for XDP: a
program cannot xmit on a VLAN device, so a success carrying the VLAN
ifindex would make it redirect to a device with no ndo_xdp_xmit and
drop the frame at xdp_do_flush(). The swap and the vlan fields are
written only on the reduce path; other output fields keep their
existing behaviour, so a frag-needed result still reports the route
mtu in params->mtu_result.

BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN is only useful to XDP, which cannot redirect to a
VLAN device. A tc program can redirect to the VLAN device directly, so
bpf_skb_fib_lookup() rejects the flag with -EINVAL; bpf_xdp_fib_lookup()
accepts it. When the flag is not set, behaviour is unchanged:
h_vlan_proto and h_vlan_TCI are zeroed and ifindex is left at the FIB
result.

The new block is compiled only under CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q since
vlan_dev_priv() is not defined otherwise; without that config
is_vlan_dev() is constant false and the flag is accepted but never
acts. That is safe because no VLAN device can exist there, so every
egress is already physical.

This lets an XDP redirect target the physical device and learn the
tag to push in a single lookup, which xdp-forward's optional VLAN
mode (xdp-project/xdp-tools#504) wants from the kernel side.

The helper's input semantics are unchanged; the reverse direction
(supplying a tag as lookup input) is added in the following patch.
