This patch adds bridge flowtable support, this allows to define a
shortcut between two bridge ports. This is complementary to the
existing inet family flowtable support.
Set up does not require userspace updates, an example ruleset to
enable the flowtable in the bridge family is provided here below:
table bridge x {
flowtable y {
hook ingress priority 0
devices = { veth0, veth1 }
}
chain forward {
type filter hook forward priority 0
ip protocol tcp flow add @y counter
counter
}
}
I decided to add an explicit nft_flow_offload_bridge_eval() instead of
recycling the existing inet function by adding branches to skip the
routing part which is obviously not needed in the bridge path. I
consider this mostly boiler plate for feature extensibility and better
maintability is better to keep it separated. Similarly, the bridge hook
that represents the flowtable bridge datapath is implemented in a
separated function.
Although connection tracking in the bridge does not support the tracking
of IP flows encapsulated in PPPoE and VLAN tracking yet, there are
scenarios that involved PPPoE and VLAN that can be supported already,
such as those where packets flows through the bridge with no tagging,
eg. a VLAN device is used as a bridge port which decapsulates the
packets at the ingress path.
Tested with:
- Plain forwarding between bridge ports with no VLAN tagging.
- VLAN device used in bridged ports, as long as packets that are
untagged when circulating within the bridge.
This initial bridge flowtable support does support VLAN tagged packets
circulating within the bridge yet, because nf_conntrack_bridge still
does not support PPPoE/VLAN natively.
Source and destination mac addresses are statically cached in the flow
tuple Roaming between devices is not supported either.
No hardware offload at this stage, but patches has been proposed to
enable it and will follow up.

v5: - incorrect logic in nft_br_is_skb_forwardable(), add ETH_HLEN to skb->len
- set .type to new bridge flow_offload expression
- add check for helper and NAT, that should not ever been there though
