Introduce SW acceleration for IPIP tunnels in the netfilter flowtable infrastructure. IPIP SW acceleration can be tested running the following scenario where the traffic is forwarded between two NICs (eth0 and eth1) and an IPIP tunnel is used to access a remote site (using eth1 as the underlay device):

ETH0 -- TUN0 <==> ETH1 -- [IP network] -- TUN1 (192.168.100.2)

$ip addr show 6: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:00:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.2/24 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 7: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:11:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.1/24 scope global eth1 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 8: tun0@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ipip 192.168.1.1 peer 192.168.1.2 inet 192.168.100.1/24 scope global tun0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

$ip route show default via 192.168.100.2 dev tun0 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.1 192.168.100.0/24 dev tun0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.100.1

$nft list ruleset table inet filter { flowtable ft { hook ingress priority filter devices = { eth0, eth1 } }

chain forward { type filter hook forward priority filter; policy accept; meta l4proto { tcp, udp } flow add @ft } }

Reproducing the scenario described above using veths I got the following results: - TCP stream transmitted into the IPIP tunnel: - net-next: ~41Gbps - net-next + IPIP flowtbale support: ~40Gbps - TCP stream received from the IPIP tunnel: - net-next: ~35Gbps - net-next + IPIP flowtbale support: ~49Gbps
