Roopa Prabhu says: ==================== Support for fdb ECMP nexthop groups This series introduces ecmp nexthops and nexthop groups for mac fdb entries. In subsequent patches this is used by the vxlan driver fdb entries. The use case is E-VPN multihoming [1,2,3] which requires bridged vxlan traffic to be load balanced to remote switches (vteps) belonging to the same multi-homed ethernet segment (This is analogous to a multi-homed LAG but over vxlan). Changes include new nexthop flag NHA_FDB for nexthops referenced by fdb entries. These nexthops only have ip. The patches make sure that routes dont reference such nexthops. example: $ip nexthop add id 12 via 172.16.1.2 fdb $ip nexthop add id 13 via 172.16.1.3 fdb $ip nexthop add id 102 group 12/13 fdb $bridge fdb add 02:02:00:00:00:13 dev vxlan1000 nhid 101 self [1] E-VPN https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432 [2] E-VPN VxLAN: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8365 [3] LPC talk with mention of nexthop groups for L2 ecmp http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/scaling_bridge_fdb_database_slidesV3.pdf v4 - - fix error path free_skb in vxlan_xmit_nh - fix atomic notifier initialization issue (Reported-by: kernel test robot <rong.a.chen@intel.com>) The reported error was easy to locate and fix, but i was not able to re-test with the robot reproducer script due to some other issues with running the script on my test system. v3 - fix wording in selftest print as pointed out by davidA v2 - - dropped nikolays fixes for nexthop multipath null pointer deref (he will send those separately) - added negative tests for route add with fdb nexthop + a few more - Fixes for a few fdb replace conditions found during more testing - Moved to rcu_dereference_rtnl in vxlan_fdb_info and consolidate rcu dereferences - Fixes to build failures Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> - DavidA, I am going to send a separate patch for the neighbor code validation for NDA_NH_ID if thats ok. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
