If a packet needs to be encapsulated towards a local destination IP,
the packet will be injected into the Rx path as if it was received by
the target VXLAN device without undergoing encapsulation. If such a
device does not exist, the packet will be dropped.
There are scenarios where we do not want to drop such packets and
instead want to let them be encapsulated and locally received by a user
space program that post-processes these VXLAN packets.
To that end, add a new VXLAN device attribute that controls whether such
packets are dropped or not. When set ("localbypass") packets are
dropped and when unset ("nolocalbypass") the packets are encapsulated
and locally delivered to the listening user space application. Default
to "localbypass" to maintain existing behavior.
