commit d2d68ba9 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.)
introduced rt_cache_valid() helper. It unfortunately doesn't check if
route is expired before caching it.

I noticed sk_setup_caps() was constantly called on a tcp workload.

On input packet processing, rt->rt_iif will be zero if we should
use skb->dev->ifindex.

Since we access rt->rt_iif consistently via inet_iif(), that is
the only spot whose interpretation have to adjust.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of
cached RX dst in inet sock.

rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can
legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively.

When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will
be set to zero.

This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4
specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for
ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6
input paths yet.

Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have
obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check
callback.

It's not really needed.

We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info
local metrics.

However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their
private metrics (if any).

We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a
reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables.

Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that
they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these
metric values would occur.

That is this value's only use, as a boolean to indicate whether
a route is an input route or not.

So implement it that way, using a u16 gap present in the struct
already.

Never actually used.

It was being set on output routes to the original OIF specified in the
flow key used for the lookup.

Adjust the only user, ipmr_rt_fib_lookup(), for greater correctness of
the flowi4_oif and flowi4_iif values, thanks to feedback from Julian
Anastasov.

Caching input routes is slightly simpler than output routes, since we
don't need to be concerned with nexthop exceptions.  (locally
destined, and routed packets, never trigger PMTU events or redirects
that will be processed by us).

However, we have to elide caching for the DIRECTSRC and non-zero itag
cases.

If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache
it in the FIB info nexthop.

Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a
family of destinations, rather than just one.

The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is
adjusted to make the logic work properly.

Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception.

Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether
DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route.

Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting
route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache.

With help from Eric Dumazet.

In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway
is set and interpreted.

The new interpretation is:

1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph->daddr

2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway

Abstract the fetching of the proper nexthop value using a new
inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is
subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world
was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing
cache's design were considered.

What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables.  The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.

Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10.

Use global seqlock for the nh_exceptions. Call
fnhe_oldest with the right hash chain. Correct the diff
value for dst_set_expires.

v2: after suggestions from Eric Dumazet:
* get rid of spin lock fnhe_lock, rearrange update_or_create_fnhe
* continue daddr search in rt_bind_exception

v3:
* remove the daddr check before seqlock in rt_bind_exception
* restart lookup in rt_bind_exception on detected seqlock change,

In a regime where we have subnetted route entries, we need a way to
store persistent storage about destination specific learned values
such as redirects and PMTU values.

This is implemented here via nexthop exceptions.

The initial implementation is a 2048 entry hash table with relaiming
starting at chain length 5.  A more sophisticated scheme can be
devised if that proves necessary.

This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.

Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.

In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
and create/update the persistent entry.

We only use it to fetch the rule's tclassid, so just store the
tclassid there instead.

This also decreases the size of fib_result by a full 8 bytes on
