David Ahern 763fd793fe Merge branch 'ioam-encap-modes' into next
Justin Iurman  says:

====================

Following the series applied to net-next (see [1]), here are the corresponding
changes to iproute2.

In the current implementation, IOAM can only be inserted directly (i.e., only
inside packets generated locally) by default, to be compliant with RFC8200.

This patch adds support for in-transit packets and provides the ip6ip6
encapsulation of IOAM (RFC8200 compliant). Therefore, three ioam6 encap modes
are defined:

 - inline: directly inserts IOAM inside packets (by default).

 - encap:  ip6ip6 encapsulation of IOAM inside packets.

 - auto:   either inline mode for packets generated locally or encap mode for
           in-transit packets.

With current iproute2 implementation, it is configured this way:

$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 trace prealloc [...]

The old syntax does not change (for backwards compatibility) and implicitly uses
the inline mode. With the new syntax, an encap mode can be specified:

(inline mode)
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 mode inline trace prealloc [...]

(encap mode)
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 mode encap tundst fc00::2 trace prealloc [...]

(auto mode)
$ ip -6 r [...] encap ioam6 mode auto tundst fc00::2 trace prealloc [...]

A tunnel destination address must be configured when using the encap mode or the
auto mode.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. include/uapi

This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
