[PATCH net-next 2/3] vxlan: honor per-nexthop fdb destination port

From: Jack Ma <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-12 19:16:40
Also in: linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

When an fdb entry points at a nexthop group, vxlan_fdb_nh_path_select()
resolves the selected leg's remote IP but leaves the UDP destination port
at the device default (vxlan->cfg.dst_port).

Extend nexthop_path_fdb_result() to also return the selected nexthop's
NHA_FDB_PORT (0 when unset) and have vxlan_fdb_nh_path_select() store it
in rdst->remote_port.  vxlan_xmit_one() already prefers rdst->remote_port
when non-zero and falls back to the device port otherwise, so nexthops
without a port are unaffected.

This lets one fdb nexthop group load-balance a flow across legs that
share an underlay IP but differ in UDP destination port.
