There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(next-20220214$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)
@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@
struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};
UAPI and wireless changes were intentionally excluded from this patch
and will be sent out separately.

This patch anticipates the support for the IOAM insertion inside in-transit
packets, by making a difference between input and output in order to determine
the right value for its hop-limit (inherited from the IPv6 hop-limit).
Input case: happens before ip6_forward, the IPv6 hop-limit is not decremented
yet -> decrement the IOAM hop-limit to reflect the new hop inside the trace.
Output case: happens after ip6_forward, the IPv6 hop-limit has already been
decremented -> keep the same value for the IOAM hop-limit.

Add support for the IOAM inline insertion (only for the host-to-host use case)
which is per-route configured with lightweight tunnels. The target is iproute2
and the patch is ready. It will be posted as soon as this patchset is merged.
Here is an overview:
$ ip -6 ro ad fc00::1/128 encap ioam6 trace type 0x800000 ns 1 size 12 dev eth0
This example configures an IOAM Pre-allocated Trace option attached to the
fc00::1/128 prefix. The IOAM namespace (ns) is 1, the size of the pre-allocated
trace data block is 12 octets (size) and only the first IOAM data (bit 0:
hop_limit + node id) is included in the trace (type) represented as a bitfield.
The reason why the in-transit (IPv6-in-IPv6 encapsulation) use case is not
implemented is explained on the patchset cover.

Implement support for processing the IOAM Pre-allocated Trace with IPv6,
see [1] and [2]. Introduce a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop TLV option, see IANA [3].
A new per-interface sysctl is introduced. The value is a boolean to accept (=1)
or ignore (=0, by default) IPv6 IOAM options on ingress for an interface:
- net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_enabled
Two other sysctls are introduced to define IOAM IDs, represented by an integer.
They are respectively per-namespace and per-interface:
- net.ipv6.ioam6_id
- net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id
The value of the first one represents the IOAM ID of the node itself (u32; max
and default value = U32_MAX>>8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the other
represents the IOAM ID of an interface (u16; max and default value = U16_MAX).
Each "ioam6_id" sysctl has a "_wide" equivalent:
- net.ipv6.ioam6_id_wide
- net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide
The value of the first one represents the wide IOAM ID of the node itself (u64;
max and default value = U64_MAX>>8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the
other represents the wide IOAM ID of an interface (u32; max and default value
= U32_MAX).
The use of short and wide equivalents is not exclusive, a deployment could
choose to leverage both. For example, net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id (short format)
could be an identifier for a physical interface, whereas
net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide (wide format) could be an identifier for a
logical sub-interface. Documentation about new sysctls is provided at the end
of this patchset.
Two relativistic hash tables are used: one for IOAM namespaces, the other for
IOAM schemas. A namespace can only have a single active schema and a schema
can only be attached to a single namespace (1:1 relationship).
