[V2 1/2] net: extend VXLAN header to support more extensions

[Gavin Li]

Currently, DPDK supports VXLAN and VXLAN-GPE with similar header
structures and we are working on adding support for VXLAN-GBP which is
another extension to VXLAN. More extension of VXLAN may be added in the
future.

VXLAN and VXLAN-GBP use the same UDP port(4789) while VXLAN-GPE uses a
different one, 4790. The three protocols have the same header length and
overall similar header structure as below.

                          Figure 3: VXLAN-GBP Extension

Both VXLAN-GPE and VXLAN-GBP extended VXLAN by redefining its reserved
bits, which means the packets can be processed with same pattern and most
of the code can be reused. Instead of adding more new items by
copying/pasting code for the VXLAN extensions in the future, it’s better
to use existing VXLAN infrastructure and add support code in it.

In this patch, all the VXLAN extension header will be merged with VXLAN as
union if the overlapped field has different format among protocols. The
existing VXLAN-GPE will be marked as deprecated and new extensions of
VXLAN should be added to VXLAN instead of a new RTE item.

[V3 1/2] net: extend VXLAN header to support more extensions

[Gavin Li]

VXLAN and VXLAN-GPE were supported with similar header structures.
In order to add VXLAN-GBP, which is another extension to VXLAN, both
extensions are merged in the original VXLAN header structure for an easier
usage. More VXLAN extensions may be added in the future in the same single
structure.

VXLAN and VXLAN-GBP use the same UDP port (4789), while VXLAN-GPE uses a
different port (4790).
The three protocols have the same header length and overall a similar
header structure as below.

                          Figure 3: VXLAN-GBP Extension

Both GPE and GBP are extending VXLAN by using some reserved bits.
It means the packets can be processed with the same pattern and most of
the code can be reused.

The old field names are kept with the use of anonymous unions.
The Group Policy ID (GBP) and the Next Protocol (GPE) fields are
overlapping so they are in a union as well.

Another improvement is defining and documenting each bit.

Instead of adding flow items, a single VXLAN flow item is more flexible
as it uses the same header anyway.
GBP can be matches with the G bit.
GPE can be matched with the UDP port number.

VXLAN-GPE flow item and specific header are marked as deprecated.
A removal of the deprecated structures and macros may be proposed later.

[V3 2/2] app/testpmd: support matching any VXLAN field

[Gavin Li]

VXLAN extensions (VXLAN-GPE and VXLAN-GBP) are unified
in a single VXLAN flow item.

It is user responsibility to explicitly match VXLAN-GPE with its UDP port.
Below are examples to match standard VXLAN, VXLAN-GPE and VXLAN-GBP.
To match standard vxlan,
... / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan ... / ...
To match VXLAN-GBP, group policy ID is 4321,
... / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan flag_g is 1 group_policy_id is 4321 ... / ...
To match VXLAN-GPE, next protocol is IPv6
... / udp dst is 4790 / vxlan flag_p is 1 protocol is 2 ... / ...

Resolved conflict because of 'last_rsvd' modification in
'rte_vxlan_hdr', please double check the final code.

[V2 2/2] app/testpmd: introduce VXLAN-GBP and VXLAN-GPE fields

[Gavin Li]

After unification of VXLAN and all its extension protocols(VXLAN-GPE and
VXLAN-GBP currently), all related RTE items should be specified after
'vxlan'. And it's user's responsibility to specify correct UDP port for
the protocol to be matched.

Below are the examples to match standard VXLAN, VXLAN-GPE and VXLAN-GBP.
To match standard vxlan,
... / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan ... / ...
To match VXLAN-GBP, group policy ID is 4321,
... / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan flag_g is 1 group_policy_id is 4321 ... / ...
To match VXLAN-GPE, next protocol is IPv6
... / udp dst is 4790 / vxlan flag_p is 1 protocol is 2 ... / ...
