====================
ipv6: sr: add support for advanced local segment processing

v2: use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

The current implementation of IPv6 SR supports SRH insertion/encapsulation
and basic segment endpoint behavior (i.e., processing of an SRH contained in
a packet whose active segment (IPv6 DA) is routed to the local node). This
behavior simply consists of updating the DA to the next segment and forwarding
the packet accordingly. This processing is realised for all such packets,
regardless of the active segment.

The most recent specifications of IPv6 SR [1] [2] extend the SRH processing
features as follows. Each segment endpoint defines a MyLocalSID table.
This table maps segments to operations to perform. For each ingress IPv6
packet whose DA is part of a given prefix, the segment endpoint looks
up the active segment (i.e., the IPv6 DA) in the MyLocalSID table and
applies the corresponding operation. Such specifications enable to specify
arbitrary operations besides the basic SRH processing and allow for a more
fine-grained classification.

This patch series implements those extended specifications by leveraging
a new type of lightweight tunnel, seg6local. The MyLocalSID table is
simply an arbitrary routing table (using CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES). The
following commands would assign the prefix fc00::/64 to the MyLocalSID
table, map the segment fc00::42 to the regular SRH processing function
(named "End"), and drop all packets received with an undefined active
segment:

ip -6 rule add fc00::/64 lookup 100
ip -6 route add fc00::42 encap seg6local action End dev eth0 table 100
ip -6 route add blackhole default table 100

As another example, the following command would assign the segment
fc00::1234 to the regular SRH processing function, except that the
processed packet must be forwarded to the next-hop fc42::1 (this operation
is named "End.X"):

ip -6 route add fc00::1234 encap seg6local action End.X nh6 fc42::1 dev eth0 table 100

Those two basic operations (End and End.X) are defined in [1]. A more
extensive list of advanced operations is defined in [2].

The first two patches of the series are preliminary work that remove an
assumption about initial SRH format, and export the two functions used to
insert and encapsulate an SRH onto packets. The third patch defines the
new seg6local lightweight tunnel and implement the core functions. The
fourth patch implements the operations needed to handle the newly defined
rtnetlink attributes. The fifth patch implements a few SRH processing
operations, including End and End.X.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
