Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 3/4] bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT flag to bpf_fib_lookup() helper
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 04:04:25 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616223426.3568080-4-avinash.duduskar@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616223426.3568080-1-avinash.duduskar@gmail.com>
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 the flag returns NOT_FWDED, which is
correct since no VLAN device can exist.
