commit 8ad77e72caae22a1ddcfd0c03f2884929e93b7a4 upstream. Add ability to specify routing table ID to the `bpf_fib_lookup` BPF helper. A new field `tbid` is added to `struct bpf_fib_lookup` used as parameters to the `bpf_fib_lookup` BPF helper. When the helper is called with the `BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT` and `BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_TBID` flags the `tbid` field in `struct bpf_fib_lookup` will be used as the table ID for the fib lookup. If the `tbid` does not exist the fib lookup will fail with `BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NOT_FWDED`. The `tbid` field becomes a union over the vlan related output fields in `struct bpf_fib_lookup` and will be zeroed immediately after usage. This functionality is useful in containerized environments. For instance, if a CNI wants to dictate the next-hop for traffic leaving a container it can create a container-specific routing table and perform a fib lookup against this table in a "host-net-namespace-side" TC program. This functionality also allows `ip rule` like functionality at the TC layer, allowing an eBPF program to pick a routing table based on some aspect of the sk_buff. As a concrete use case, this feature will be used in Cilium's SRv6 L3VPN datapath. When egress traffic leaves a Pod an eBPF program attached by Cilium will determine which VRF the egress traffic should target, and then perform a FIB lookup in a specific table representing this VRF's FIB.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
