      ====================
      ipv6: Align nexthop behaviour with IPv4
      
      This set tries to eliminate some differences between IPv4's and IPv6's
      treatment of nexthops. These differences are most likely a side effect
      of IPv6's data structures (specifically 'rt6_info') that incorporate
      both the route and the nexthop and the late addition of ECMP support in
      commit 51ebd318 ("ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath
      (ECMP)").
      
      IPv4 and IPv6 do not react the same to certain netdev events. For
      example, upon carrier change affected IPv4 nexthops are marked using the
      RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flag and the nexthop group is rebalanced accordingly.
      IPv6 on the other hand, does nothing which forces us to perform a
      carrier check during route lookup and dump. This makes it difficult to
      introduce features such as non-equal-cost multipath that are built on
      top of this set [1].
      
      In addition, when a netdev is put administratively down IPv4 nexthops
      are marked using the RTNH_F_DEAD flag, whereas IPv6 simply flushes all
      the routes using these nexthops. To be consistent with IPv4, multipath
      routes should only be flushed when all nexthops in the group are
      considered dead.
      
      The first 12 patches introduce non-functional changes that store the
      RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags in IPv6 routes based on netdev
      events, in a similar fashion to IPv4. This allows us to remove the
      carrier check performed during route lookup and dump.
      
      The next three patches make sure we only flush a multipath route when
      all of its nexthops are dead.
      
      Last three patches add test cases for IPv4/IPv6 FIB. These verify that
      both address families react similarly to netdev events.
      
      Finally, this series also serves as a good first step towards David
      Ahern's goal of treating nexthops as standalone objects [2], as it makes
      the code more in line with IPv4 where the nexthop and the nexthop group
      are separate objects from the route itself.
      
      1. https://github.com/idosch/linux/tree/ipv6-nexthops
      2. http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/nexthop-objects.pdf
      
      
      
      Changes since RFC (feedback from David Ahern):
      * Remove redundant declaration of rt6_ifdown() in patch 4 and adjust
      comment referencing it accordingly
      * Drop patch to flush multipath routes upon NETDEV_UNREGISTER. Reword
      cover letter accordingly
      * Use a temporary variable to make code more readable in patch 15

      ipv6: Flush multipath routes when all siblings are dead · 1de178ed
      Ido Schimmel authored
      
      
      By default, IPv6 deletes nexthops from a multipath route when the
      nexthop device is put administratively down. This differs from IPv4
      where the nexthops are kept, but marked with the RTNH_F_DEAD flag. A
      multipath route is flushed when all of its nexthops become dead.
      
      Align IPv6 with IPv4 and have it conform to the same guidelines.
      
      In case the multipath route needs to be flushed, its siblings are
      flushed one by one. Otherwise, the nexthops are marked with the
      appropriate flags and the tree walker is instructed to skip all the
      siblings.
      
      As explained in previous patches, care is taken to update the sernum of
      the affected tree nodes, so as to prevent the use of wrong dst entries.

      ipv6: Take table lock outside of sernum update function · 922c2ac8
      Ido Schimmel authored
      
      
      The next patch is going to allow dead routes to remain in the FIB tree
      in certain situations.
      
      When this happens we need to be sure to bump the sernum of the nodes
      where these are stored so that potential copies cached in sockets are
      invalidated.
      
      The function that performs this update assumes the table lock is not
      taken when it is invoked, but that will not be the case when it is
      invoked by the tree walker.
      
      Have the function assume the lock is taken and make the single caller
      take the lock itself.

      ipv6: Export sernum update function · 4a8e56ee
      Ido Schimmel authored
      
      
      We are going to allow dead routes to stay in the FIB tree (e.g., when
      they are part of a multipath route, directly connected route with no
      carrier) and revive them when their nexthop device gains carrier or when
      it is put administratively up.
      
      This is equivalent to the addition of the route to the FIB tree and we
      should therefore take care of updating the sernum of all the parent
      nodes of the node where the route is stored. Otherwise, we risk sockets
      caching and using sub-optimal dst entries.
      
      Export the function that performs the above, so that it could be invoked
      from fib6_ifup() later on.

      ipv6: Teach tree walker to skip multipath routes · b5cb5a75
      Ido Schimmel authored
      
      
      As explained in previous patch, fib6_ifdown() needs to consider the
      state of all the sibling routes when a multipath route is traversed.
      
      This is done by evaluating all the siblings when the first sibling in a
      multipath route is traversed. If the multipath route does not need to be
      flushed (e.g., not all siblings are dead), then we should just skip the
      multipath route as our work is done.
      
      Have the tree walker jump to the last sibling when it is determined that
      the multipath route needs to be skipped.

      ipv6: Add explicit flush indication to routes · a2c554d3
      Ido Schimmel authored
      
      
      When routes that are a part of a multipath route are evaluated by
      fib6_ifdown() in response to NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_UNREGISTER events
      the state of their sibling routes is not considered.
      
      This will change in subsequent patches in order to align IPv6 with
      IPv4's behavior. For example, when the last sibling in a multipath route
      becomes dead, the entire multipath route needs to be removed.
      
      To prevent the tree walker from re-evaluating all the sibling routes
      each time, we can simply evaluate them once - when the first sibling is
      traversed.
      
      If we determine the entire multipath route needs to be removed, then the
      'should_flush' bit is set in all the siblings, which will cause the
      walker to flush them when it traverses them.

      Up until now the RTNH_F_DEAD flag was only reported in route dump when

      The reliance on this sysctl is going to be removed, so we need to report

      ipv6: Set nexthop flags upon carrier change · 27c6fa73
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Similar to IPv4, when the carrier of a netdev changes we should toggle
      the 'linkdown' flag on all the nexthops using it as their nexthop
      device.
      
      This will later allow us to test for the presence of this flag during
      route lookup and dump.
      
      Up until commit 4832c30d
      
       ("net: ipv6: put host and anycast routes on
      device with address") host and anycast routes used the loopback netdev
      as their nexthop device and thus were not marked with the 'linkdown'
      flag. The patch preserves this behavior and allows one to ping the local
      address even when the nexthop device does not have a carrier and the
      'ignore_routes_with_linkdown' sysctl is set.

      ipv6: Prepare to handle multiple netdev events · 4c981e28

      To make IPv6 more in line with IPv4 we need to be able to respond
      differently to different netdev events. For example, when a netdev is
      unregistered all the routes using it as their nexthop device should be
      flushed, whereas when the netdev's carrier changes only the 'linkdown'
      flag should be toggled.
      
      Currently, this is not possible, as the function that traverses the
      routing tables is not aware of the triggering event.
      
      Propagate the triggering event down, so that it could be used in later

      ipv6: Remove redundant route flushing during namespace dismantle · 9fcb0714

      By the time fib6_net_exit() is executed all the netdevs in the namespace
      have been either unregistered or pushed back to the default namespace.
      That is because pernet subsys operations are always ordered before
      pernet device operations and therefore invoked after them during
      namespace dismantle.
      
      Thus, all the routing tables in the namespace are empty by the time
      fib6_net_exit() is invoked and the call to rt6_ifdown() can be removed.
      
      This allows us to simplify the condition in fib6_ifdown() as it's only
      ever called with an actual netdev.

      ====================
      pull-request: bpf-next 2018-01-07
      
      The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
      
      The main changes are:
      
      1) Add a start of a framework for extending struct xdp_buff without
         having the overhead of populating every data at runtime. Idea
         is to have a new per-queue struct xdp_rxq_info that holds read
         mostly data (currently that is, queue number and a pointer to
         the corresponding netdev) which is set up during rxqueue config
         time. When a XDP program is invoked, struct xdp_buff holds a
         pointer to struct xdp_rxq_info that the BPF program can then
         walk. The user facing BPF program that uses struct xdp_md for
         context can use these members directly, and the verifier rewrites
         context access transparently by walking the xdp_rxq_info and
         net_device pointers to load the data, from Jesper.
      
      2) Redo the reporting of offload device information to user space
         such that it works in combination with network namespaces. The
         latter is reported through a device/inode tuple as similarly
         done in other subsystems as well (e.g. perf) in order to identify
         the namespace. For this to work, ns_get_path() has been generalized
         such that the namespace can be retrieved not only from a specific
         task (perf case), but also from a callback where we deduce the
         netns (ns_common) from a netdevice. bpftool support using the new
         uapi info and extensive test cases for test_offload.py in BPF
         selftests have been added as well, from Jakub.
      
      3) Add two bpftool improvements: i) properly report the bpftool
         version such that it corresponds to the version from the kernel
         source tree. So pick the right linux/version.h from the source
         tree instead of the installed one. ii) fix bpftool and also
         bpf_jit_disasm build with bintutils >= 2.9. The reason for the
         build breakage is that binutils library changed the function
         signature to select the disassembler. Given this is needed in
         multiple tools, add a proper feature detection to the
         tools/build/features infrastructure, from Roman.
      
      4) Implement the BPF syscall command BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY for the
         stacktrace map. It is currently unimplemented, but there are
         use cases where user space needs to walk all stacktrace map
         entries e.g. for dumping or deleting map entries w/o having to
         close and recreate the map. Add BPF selftests along with it,
         from Yonghong.
      
      5) Few follow-up cleanups for the bpftool cgroup code: i) rename
         the cgroup 'list' command into 'show' as we have it for other
         subcommands as well, ii) then alias the 'show' command such that
         'list' is accepted which is also common practice in iproute2,
         and iii) remove couple of newlines from error messages using
         p_err(), from Jakub.
      
      6) Two follow-up cleanups to sockmap code: i) remove the unused
         bpf_compute_data_end_sk_skb() function and ii) only build the
         sockmap infrastructure when CONFIG_INET is enabled since it's
         only aware of TCP sockets at this time, from John.
