add DOVE extensions for VXLAN
This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed
Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes:
+ a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions
+ ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint
answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of
remote DOVE clients
+ route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP
addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for
switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first.
+ netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching
misses
Changes since v2
- combined bools into "u32 flags"
- replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr()
