Packet loop filter
This example shows how to filter looping packets, for example when two bond interfaces are attached to a switch that loops packets back through the other bond interface. It works by attaching ingress and egress TC filters to one or more interfaces, and keeping track of the source VLAN+MAC on every packet going out any of the included interfaces. If a packet comes back in with a source MAC+VLAN that was already seen on egress, that packet is simply dropped (subject to a 10-second expiry time).
To load, simply execute the userspace binary with all interface names to load
the filter to; all interfaces loaded this way will share the same map, so the
filter will work across all of them. For instance, if a bond interface is using
underlying veth0 and veth1, execute ./pkt-loop-filter veth0 veth1 to enable
the filter on packets looping through the two.
To unload, add the --unload parameter to the userspace utility. Note that the
same set of interfaces should be supplied on load and unload; the tool doesn't
check for this so if it's not, the unload will only be partial.
The BPF programs will record which interface a given source MAC+VLAN was last
seen on, as well as the number of packets dropped for that MAC+VLAN. These
statistics are kept in the BPF map and can be dumped using bpftool.
