vxlan: Add MDB data path support
Integrate MDB support into the Tx path of the VXLAN driver, allowing it to selectively forward IP multicast traffic according to the matched MDB entry. If MDB entries are configured (i.e., 'VXLAN_F_MDB' is set) and the packet is an IP multicast packet, perform up to three different lookups according to the following priority: 1. For an (S, G) entry, using {Source VNI, Source IP, Destination IP}. 2. For a (*, G) entry, using {Source VNI, Destination IP}. 3. For the catchall MDB entry (0.0.0.0 or ::), using the source VNI. The catchall MDB entry is similar to the catchall FDB entry (00:00:00:00:00:00) that is currently used to transmit BUM (broadcast, unknown unicast and multicast) traffic. However, unlike the catchall FDB entry, this entry is only used to transmit unregistered IP multicast traffic that is not link-local. Therefore, when configured, the catchall FDB entry will only transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown unicast, link-local multicast) traffic. The catchall MDB entry is useful in deployments where inter-subnet multicast forwarding is used and not all the VTEPs in a tenant domain are members in all the broadcast domains. In such deployments it is advantageous to transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown unicast and link-local multicast) and unregistered IP multicast traffic on different tunnels. If the same tunnel was used, a VTEP only interested in IP multicast traffic would also pull all the BULL traffic and drop it as it is not a member in the originating broadcast domain [1]. If the packet did not match an MDB entry (or if the packet is not an IP multicast packet), return it to the Tx path, allowing it to be forwarded according to the FDB. If the packet did match an MDB entry, forward it to the associated remote VTEPs. However, if the entry is a (*, G) entry and the associated remote is in INCLUDE mode, then skip over it as the source IP is not in its source list (otherwise the packet would have matched on an (S, G) entry). Similarly, if the associated remote is marked as BLOCKED (can only be set on (S, G) entries), then skip over it as well as the remote is in EXCLUDE mode and the source IP is in its source list.
