Integrate MDB support into the Tx path of the VXLAN driver, allowing it
to selectively forward IP multicast traffic according to the matched MDB
entry.
If MDB entries are configured (i.e., 'VXLAN_F_MDB' is set) and the
packet is an IP multicast packet, perform up to three different lookups
according to the following priority:
1. For an (S, G) entry, using {Source VNI, Source IP, Destination IP}.
2. For a (*, G) entry, using {Source VNI, Destination IP}.
3. For the catchall MDB entry (0.0.0.0 or ::), using the source VNI.
The catchall MDB entry is similar to the catchall FDB entry
(00:00:00:00:00:00) that is currently used to transmit BUM (broadcast,
unknown unicast and multicast) traffic. However, unlike the catchall FDB
entry, this entry is only used to transmit unregistered IP multicast
traffic that is not link-local. Therefore, when configured, the catchall
FDB entry will only transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown unicast,
link-local multicast) traffic.
The catchall MDB entry is useful in deployments where inter-subnet
multicast forwarding is used and not all the VTEPs in a tenant domain
are members in all the broadcast domains. In such deployments it is
advantageous to transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown unicast and link-local
multicast) and unregistered IP multicast traffic on different tunnels.
If the same tunnel was used, a VTEP only interested in IP multicast
traffic would also pull all the BULL traffic and drop it as it is not a
member in the originating broadcast domain [1].
If the packet did not match an MDB entry (or if the packet is not an IP
multicast packet), return it to the Tx path, allowing it to be forwarded
according to the FDB.
If the packet did match an MDB entry, forward it to the associated
remote VTEPs. However, if the entry is a (*, G) entry and the associated
remote is in INCLUDE mode, then skip over it as the source IP is not in
its source list (otherwise the packet would have matched on an (S, G)
entry). Similarly, if the associated remote is marked as BLOCKED (can
only be set on (S, G) entries), then skip over it as well as the remote
is in EXCLUDE mode and the source IP is in its source list.
