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 } } Creating a separate fastpath for bridges. forward fastpath bypass .----------------------------------------. / \ | IP - forwarding | | / \ v | / wan ... | / | | | | | brlan.1 | | | +-------------------------------+ | | vlan 1 | | | | | | brlan (vlan-filtering) | | +---------------+ | | | DSA-SWITCH | | | | | vlan 1 | | | | to | | | vlan 1 | untagged | | +---------------+---------------+ . / \ ------>lan0 wlan1 . ^ ^ . | | . \_________________/ . bridge fastpath bypass . ^ 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.
