Subject: [PATCH v5 07/10] tcp: forward external source MAC address through tap interface
Date: Fri,  5 Sep 2025 22:11:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250906021154.2760611-8-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250906021154.2760611-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>

We forward the incoming mac address through the tap interface when
receiving incoming packets from network local hosts.

This is a part of the solution to bug
https://bugs.passt.top/show_bug.cgi?id=120

Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>

---
v3: - Adapted to the signature change in nl_mac_get() function, so that
      we now consider only the template interface when checking the
      ARP/NDP table.
v4: - Adapted to previous name changes in this series
v5: - Added lookup in ARP/NDP cache and/or table on incoming messages
      in  case flow->tap_omac wasn't initialized at flow creation,
      i.e., the flow was initiated from the guest.
