With this patchset, users can configure options with LWTUNNEL_IP(6)_OPTS
by ip route encap for ersapn or vxlan lwtunnel. Note that in kernel part
it won't parse the option details but do some check and memcpy only, and
the options will be parsed by iproute in userspace.
We also improve the vxlan and erspan options processing in this patchset.
As an example I also wrote a patch for iproute2 that I will reply on this
mail, with it we can add options for erspan lwtunnel like:
# ip net a a; ip net a b
# ip -n a l a eth0 type veth peer name eth0 netns b
# ip -n a l s eth0 up; ip -n b link set eth0 up
# ip -n a a a 10.1.0.1/24 dev eth0; ip -n b a a 10.1.0.2/24 dev eth0
# ip -n b l a erspan1 type erspan key 1 seq erspan 123 \
local 10.1.0.2 remote 10.1.0.1
# ip -n b a a 1.1.1.1/24 dev erspan1; ip -n b l s erspan1 up
# ip -n b r a 2.1.1.0/24 dev erspan1
# ip -n a l a erspan1 type erspan key 1 seq local 10.1.0.1 external
# ip -n a a a 2.1.1.1/24 dev erspan1; ip -n a l s erspan1 up
# ip -n a r a 1.1.1.0/24 encap ip id 1 erspan ver 1 idx 123 \
dst 10.1.0.2 dev erspan1
# ip -n a r s; ip net exec a ping 1.1.1.1 -c 1
