seg6: add NEXT-C-SID support for SRv6 End behavior
The NEXT-C-SID mechanism described in [1] offers the possibility of encoding several SRv6 segments within a single 128 bit SID address. Such a SID address is called a Compressed SID (C-SID) container. In this way, the length of the SID List can be drastically reduced. A SID instantiated with the NEXT-C-SID flavor considers an IPv6 address logically structured in three main blocks: i) Locator-Block; ii) Locator-Node Function; iii) Argument. C-SID container +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Locator-Block |Loc-Node| Argument | | |Function| | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ <--------- B -----------> <- NF -> <------------- A ---------------> (i) The Locator-Block can be any IPv6 prefix available to the provider; (ii) The Locator-Node Function represents the node and the function to be triggered when a packet is received on the node; (iii) The Argument carries the remaining C-SIDs in the current C-SID container. The NEXT-C-SID mechanism relies on the "flavors" framework defined in [2]. The flavors represent additional operations that can modify or extend a subset of the existing behaviors. This patch introduces the support for flavors in SRv6 End behavior implementing the NEXT-C-SID one. An SRv6 End behavior with NEXT-C-SID flavor works as an End behavior but it is capable of processing the compressed SID List encoded in C-SID containers. An SRv6 End behavior with NEXT-C-SID flavor can be configured to support user-provided Locator-Block and Locator-Node Function lengths. In this implementation, such lengths must be evenly divisible by 8 (i.e. must be byte-aligned), otherwise the kernel informs the user about invalid values with a meaningful error code and message through netlink_ext_ack. If Locator-Block and/or Locator-Node Function lengths are not provided by the user during configuration of an SRv6 End behavior instance with NEXT-C-SID flavor, the kernel will choose their default values i.e., 32-bit Locator-Block and 16-bit Locator-Node Function.
