[PATCH iproute2] ip link: initial support for bareudp devices

[PATCH iproute2] ip link: initial support for bareudp devices

[Guillaume Nault]

Bareudp devices provide a generic L3 encapsulation for tunnelling
different protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH, etc. inside a UDP tunnel.

This patch is based on original work from Martin Varghese:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/1570532361-15163-1-git-send-email-martinvarghesenokia@gmail.com/

Examples:

  - ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls_uc

This creates a bareudp tunnel device which tunnels L3 traffic with
ethertype 0x8847 (unicast MPLS traffic). The destination port of the
UDP header will be set to 6635. The device will listen on UDP port 6635
to receive traffic.

  - ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype ipv4 multiproto

Same as the MPLS example, but for IPv4. The "multiproto" keyword allows
the device to also tunnel IPv6 traffic.

Does this function takes care of mpls proto names ?

The original idea of bareudp is to allow even reserved ethertypes.Hence i think we
must take ethertype in hex aswell

Comments from stephen@networkplumber.org on the first version patch is given below

One of the unwritten rules of ip commands is that the show format
should match the command line arguments.  In this case extmode is
really a presence flag not a boolean. best to print that with
json null command.

Thanks
Martin

ll_proto_a2n() handles both symbolic and numeric ethertypes.

It allows users to exlicitely disable multiproto without having to rely
on default values. Also nomultiproto appears in the detailed output, so
it should be usable as input.

The detailed output prints either "multiproto" or "nomultiproto". Both
keywords are accepted as configuration input. I can't see any deviation
from the unwritten rule here.

Hi Martin,

Yes, it's based on the latest iproute2 master branch.
I can apply it with "git am" without any problem.

Which command did you use?

I can do one round of testing and give you feedback

Here it is:

Applied. 
Would it be possible to add a test for this in the iproute2 testsuite?
