2016-11-09ipv6: sr: add support for SRH encapsulation and injection with lwtunnelsDavid Lebrun1-0/+6
This patch creates a new type of interfaceless lightweight tunnel (SEG6), enabling the encapsulation and injection of SRH within locally emitted packets and forwarded packets. >From a configuration viewpoint, a seg6 tunnel would be configured as follows: ip -6 ro ad fc00::1/128 encap seg6 mode encap segs fc42::1,fc42::2,fc42::3 dev eth0 Any packet whose destination address is fc00::1 would thus be encapsulated within an outer IPv6 header containing the SRH with three segments, and would actually be routed to the first segment of the list. If `mode inline' was specified instead of `mode encap', then the SRH would be directly inserted after the IPv6 header without outer encapsulation. The inline mode is only available if CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_INLINE is enabled. This feature was made configurable because direct header insertion may break several mechanisms such as PMTUD or IPSec AH.
