This patchset makes it possible to set up a (hardware offloaded) fastpath
for bridged interfaces.
To set up the fastpath with offloading, add this extra flowtable:
table bridge filter {
flowtable fb {
hook ingress priority filter
devices = { lan0, lan1, lan2, lan3, lan4, wlan0, wlan1 }
flags offload
}
chain forward {
type filter hook forward priority filter; policy accept;
ct state established flow add @fb
}
}

vlan 1 tagged packets
To have the ability to handle xmit direct with outgoing encaps in the
bridge fastpass bypass, we need to be able to handle them without going
through vlan/pppoe devices. So I've applied, amended and squashed wenxu's
patchset. This patch also makes it possible to egress from vlan-filtering
brlan to lan0 with vlan tagged packets, if the bridge master port is doing
the vlan tagging, instead of the vlan-device. Without this patch, this is
not possible in the bridge-fastpath and also not in the forward-fastpath,
as seen in the figure above.
There are also some more fixes for filling in the forward path. These
fixes also apply to for the forward-fastpath. They include handling
DEV_PATH_MTK_WDMA in nft_dev_path_info() and avoiding
DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_UNTAG_HW for bridges with ports that use dsa.
Conntrack bridge only tracks untagged and 802.1q. To make the bridge
fastpath experience more similar to the forward fastpath experience,
I've added double vlan, pppoe and pppoe-in-q tagged packets to bridge
conntrack and to bridge filter chain.
