Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 0/5] geneve: Allow binding UDP socket to a specific address.
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 00:17:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525001745.1251640-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
By default, a GENEVE device bind()s its underlying UDP socket(s) to
the IPv4 or IPv6 wildcard address because there is no way to specify
a specific local IP address to bind() to.
This prevents deploying multiple GENEVE devices on a multi-homed host
where each device should be isolated and bound to a different local IP
address on the same UDP port.
This series introduces two options to specify local IPv4 or IPv6
addresses for a GENEVE device.
The corresponding iproute2 patch is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260523061102.2762452-1-kuniyu@google.com/
Changes:
v2:
* Patch 1 : Move addr_type to if-block for CONFIG_IPV6=n
* Patch 4 : Don't set cfg->dualstack for IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE6?
* Patch 5 : Validate saddr in geneve_xmit_skb() and geneve6_xmit_skb().
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260523061654.2767060-1-kuniyu@google.com/
Kuniyuki Iwashima (5):
geneve: Reuse ipv6_addr_type() result in geneve_nl2info().
geneve: Pass struct geneve_dev to geneve_create_sock().
geneve: Pass struct geneve_dev to geneve_find_sock().
geneve: Add dualstack flag to struct geneve_config.
geneve: Introduce IFLA_GENEVE_LOCAL and IFLA_GENEVE_LOCAL6.
