ipvlan, l3mdev: fix broken l3s mode wrt local routes
While implementing ipvlan l3 and l3s mode for kubernetes CNI plugin, I ran into the issue that while l3 mode is working fine, l3s mode does not have any connectivity to kube-apiserver and hence all pods end up in Error state as well. The ipvlan master device sits on top of a bond device and hostns traffic to kube-apiserver (also running in hostns) is DNATed from 10.152.183.1:443 to 139.178.29.207:37573 where the latter is the address of the bond0. While in l3 mode, a curl to https://10.152.183.1:443 or to https://139.178.29.207:37573 works fine from hostns, neither of them do in case of l3s. In the latter only a curl to https://127.0.0.1:37573 appeared to work where for local addresses of bond0 I saw kernel suddenly starting to emit ARP requests to query HW address of bond0 which remained unanswered and neighbor entries in INCOMPLETE state. These ARP requests only happen while in l3s. Debugging this further, I found the issue is that l3s mode is piggy- backing on l3 master device, and in this case local routes are using l3mdev_master_dev_rcu(dev) instead of net->loopback_dev as per commit f5a0aab ("net: ipv4: dst for local input routes should use l3mdev if relevant") and 5f02ce2 ("net: l3mdev: Allow the l3mdev to be a loopback"). I found that reverting them back into using the net->loopback_dev fixed ipvlan l3s connectivity and got everything working for the CNI. Now judging from 4fbae7d ("ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode") and the l3mdev paper in [0] the only sole reason why ipvlan l3s is relying on l3 master device is to get the l3mdev_ip_rcv() receive hook for setting the dst entry of the input route without adding its own ipvlan specific hacks into the receive path, however, any l3 domain semantics beyond just that are breaking l3s operation. Note that ipvlan also has the ability to dynamically switch its internal operation from l3 to l3s for all ports via ipvlan_set_port_mode() at runtime. In any case, l3 vs l3s soley distinguishes itself by 'de-confusing' netfilter through switching skb->dev to ipvlan slave device late in NF_INET_LOCAL_IN before handing the skb to L4. Minimal fix taken here is to add a IFF_L3MDEV_RX_HANDLER flag which, if set from ipvlan setup, gets us only the wanted l3mdev_l3_rcv() hook without any additional l3mdev semantics on top. This should also have minimal impact since dev->priv_flags is already hot in cache. With this set, l3s mode is working fine and I also get things like masquerading pod traffic on the ipvlan master properly working.
