Merge branch 'cached-route-listings'
Stefano Brivio says: ==================== Fix listing (IPv4, IPv6) and flushing (IPv6) of cached route exceptions For IPv6 cached routes, the commands 'ip -6 route list cache' and 'ip -6 route flush cache' don't work at all after route exceptions have been moved to a separate hash table in commit 2b760fcf ("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache"). For IPv4 cached routes, the command 'ip route list cache' has also stopped working in kernel 3.5 after commit 4895c771 ("ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions.") introduced storage for route exceptions as a separate entity. Fix this by allowing userspace to clearly request cached routes with the RTM_F_CLONED flag used as a filter (in conjuction with strict checking) and by retrieving and dumping cached routes if requested. If strict checking is not requested (iproute2 < 5.0.0), we don't have a way to consistently filter results on other selectors (e.g. on tables), so skip filtering entirely and dump both regular routes and exceptions. For IPv4, cache flushing uses a completely different mechanism, so it wasn't affected. Listing of exception routes (modified routes pre-3.5) was tested against these versions of kernel and iproute2: iproute2 kernel 4.14.0 4.15.0 4.19.0 5.0.0 5.1.0 3.5-rc4 + + + + + 4.4 4.9 4.14 4.15 4.19 5.0 5.1 fixed + + + + + For IPv6, a separate iproute2 patch is required. Versions of iproute2 and kernel tested: iproute2 kernel 4.14.0 4.15.0 4.19.0 5.0.0 5.1.0 5.1.0, patched 3.18 list + + + + + + flush + + + + + + 4.4 list + + + + + + flush + + + + + + 4.9 list + + + + + + flush + + + + + + 4.14 list + + + + + + flush + + + + + + 4.15 list flush 4.19 list flush 5.0 list flush 5.1 list flush with list + + + + + + fix flush + + + + v7: Make sure r->rtm_tos is initialised in 3/11, move loop over nexthop objects in 4/11, add comments about usage of "skip" counters in commit messages of 4/11 and 8/11 v6: Target for net-next, rebase and adapt to nexthop objects for IPv6 paths. Merge selftests into this series (as they were addressed for net-next). A number of minor changes detailed in logs of single patches. v5: Skip filtering altogether if no strict checking is requested: selecting routes or exceptions only would be inconsistent with the fact we can't filter on tables. Drop 1/8 (non-strict dump filter function no longer needed), replace 2/8 (don't use NLM_F_MATCH, decide to skip routes or exceptions in filter function), drop 6/8 (2/8 is enough for IPv6 too). Introduce dump_routes and dump_exceptions flags in filter, adapt other patches to that. v4: Fix the listing issue also for IPv4, making the behaviour consistent with IPv6. Honour NLM_F_MATCH as per RFC 3549 and allow usage of RTM_F_CLONED filter. Split patches into smaller logical changes. v3: Drop check on RTM_F_CLONED and rework logic of return values of rt6_dump_route() v2: Add count of routes handled in partial dumps, and skip them, in patch 1/2. ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.
