net: dsa: bcm_sf2: cleanup bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_get() a little
This patch doesn't affect how the code works. My static checker complains that the mask and shift doesn't make sense because 0xffffff << 16 goes beyond the end of 32 bits. It should be 0xffff instead but the existing code won't cause runtime bugs. Also the casting here is not needed and not consistent with the rest of the code.

n a vxlan overlay network. Vxlan bridging is the function provided by Vteps to terminate vxlan tunnels and map the vxlan vni to traditional end host vlan. This is covered in the "VXLAN Deployment Scenarios" in sections 6 and 6.1 in RFC 7348. To provide vxlan bridging function, a vtep has to map vlan to a vni. The rfc says that the ingress VTEP device shall remove the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag in the original Layer 2 packet if there is one before encapsulating the packet into the VXLAN format to transmit it through the underlay network. The remote VTEP devices have information about the VLAN in which the packet will be placed based on their own VLAN-to-VXLAN VNI mapping configurations. Existing solution: Without this patch series one can deploy such a vtep configuration by adding the local ports and vxlan netdevs into a vlan filtering bridge. The local ports are configured as trunk ports carrying all vlans. A vxlan netdev per vni is added to the bridge. Vlan mapping to vni is achieved by configuring the vlan as pvid on the corresponding vxlan netdev. The vxlan netdev only receives traffic corresponding to the vlan it is mapped to. This configuration maps traffic belonging to a vlan to the corresponding vxlan segment. ----------------------------------- | bridge | | | ----------------------------------- |100,200 |100 (pvid) |200 (pvid) | | | swp1 vxlan1000 vxlan2000 This provides the required vxlan bridging function but poses a scalability problem with using a separate vxlan netdev for each vni. Solution in this patch series: The Goal is to use a single vxlan device to carry all vnis similar to the vxlan collect metadata mode but additionally allowing the bridge and vxlan driver to carry all the forwarding information and also learn. This implementation uses the existing dst_metadata infrastructure to map vlan to a tunnel id. - vxlan driver changes: - enable collect metadata mode to be used with learning, replication and fdb - A single fdb table hashed by (mac, vni) - rx path already has the vni - tx path expects a vni in the packet with dst_metadata and relies on learnt or static forwarding information table to forward the packet - Bridge driver changes: per vlan dst_metadata support: - Our use case is vxlan and 1-1 mapping between vlan and vni, but I have kept the api generic for any tunnel info - Uapi to configure/unconfigure/dump per vlan tunnel data - new bridge port flag to turn this feature on/off. off by default - ingress hook: - if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info in attached dst_metadata to map it to a local vlan - egress hook: - if port is a tunnel port, use tunnel info attached to vlan to set dst_metadata on the skb Other approaches tried and vetoed: - tc vlan push/pop and tunnel metadata dst: - though tc can be used to do part of this, these patches address a deployment case where bridge driver vlan filtering and forwarding information database along with vxlan driver forwarding information table and learning are required. - making vxlan driver understand vlan-vni mapping: - I had a series almost ready with this one but soon realized it duplicated a lot of vlan handling code in the vxlan driver ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
