    bpf: add helpers to access tunnel metadata · d3aa45ce

    Introduce helpers to let eBPF programs attached to TC manipulate tunnel metadata:
    bpf_skb_[gs]et_tunnel_key(skb, key, size, flags)
    skb: pointer to skb
    key: pointer to 'struct bpf_tunnel_key'
    size: size of 'struct bpf_tunnel_key'
    flags: room for future extensions
    
    First eBPF program that uses these helpers will allocate per_cpu
    metadata_dst structures that will be used on TX.
    On RX metadata_dst is allocated by tunnel driver.
    
    Typical usage for TX:
    struct bpf_tunnel_key tkey;
    ... populate tkey ...
    bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key(skb, &tkey, sizeof(tkey), 0);
    bpf_clone_redirect(skb, vxlan_dev_ifindex, 0);
    
    RX:
    struct bpf_tunnel_key tkey = {};
    bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(skb, &tkey, sizeof(tkey), 0);
    ... lookup or redirect based on tkey ...
    
    'struct bpf_tunnel_key' will be extended in the future by adding
    elements to the end and the 'size' argument will indicate which fields
    are populated, thereby keeping backwards compatibility.
    The 'flags' argument may be used as well when the 'size' is not enough or
    to indicate completely different layout of bpf_tunnel_key.
