To improve manageability, it would be good to be able to disambiguate routes
added by administrator from those added by DHCP client.  The only necessary
kernel change is to add value to rtnetlink include file so iproute2 utility

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe
driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the
kernel.  The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) -
which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic
based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) -
which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at
granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).

Most legacy software do not like tables > 255 as rtm_table is u8
so tb_id is sent &0xff and it is possible to mismatch for example
table 510 with table 254 (main).

This patch introduces RT_TABLE_COMPAT=252 so the code uses it if
tb_id > 255. It makes such old applications happy, new
ones are still able to use RTA_TABLE to get a proper table id.

ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is

f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through
macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from
wireless devices.

Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates

for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to

As discussed before, this patch provides userland with a way to access
relevant options in Router Advertisements, after they are processed
and validated by the kernel. Extra options are processed in a generic
way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but
support to control which options are exported could be easily added.

A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor
Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the
moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is
included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by
new use cases.

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert
attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a
backwards compatible way.

The attribute looks like this:

struct {
        [ compat contents ]
        struct rtattr {
                .rta_len        = total size,
                .rta_type       = type,
        } rta;
        struct old_structure struct;

        [ nested top-level attribute ]
        struct rtattr {
                .rta_len        = nest size,
                .rta_type       = type,
        } nest_attr;

        [ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ]
        struct rtattr {
                .rta_len        = private attribute len,
                .rta_type       = private attribute typ,
        } nested_attr;
        struct nested_data data;
};

Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are
larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and
ignore the rest.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,

meaningful as offsets or pointers.
