====================
net: Enable nexthop objects with IPv4 and IPv6 routes

This is the final set of the initial nexthop object work. When I
started this idea almost 2 years ago, it took 18 seconds to inject
700k+ IPv4 routes with 1 hop and about 28 seconds for 4-paths. Some
of that time was due to inefficiencies in 'ip', but most of it was
kernel side with excessive synchronize_rcu calls in ipv4, and redundant
processing validating a nexthop spec (device, gateway, encap). Worse,
the time increased dramatically as the number of legs in the routes
increased; for example, taking over 72 seconds for 16-path routes.

After this set, with increased dirty memory limits (fib_sync_mem sysctl),
an improved ip and nexthop objects a full internet fib (743,799 routes
based on a pull in January 2019) can be pushed to the kernel in 4.3
seconds. Even better, the time to insert is "almost" constant with
increasing number of paths. The 'almost constant' time is due to
expanding the nexthop definitions when generating notifications. A
follow on patch will be sent adding a sysctl that allows an admin to
avoid the nexthop expansion and truly get constant route insert time
regardless of the number of paths in a route! (Useful once all programs
used for a deployment that care about routes understand nexthop objects).

To be clear, 'ip' is used for benchmarking for no other reason than
'ip -batch' is a trivial to use for the tests. FRR, for example, better
manages nexthops and route changes and the way those are pushed to the
kernel and thus will have less userspace processing times than 'ip -batch'.

Patches 1-10 iterate over fib6_nh with a nexthop invoke a processing
function per fib6_nh. Prior to nexthop objects, a fib6_info referenced
a single fib6_nh. Multipath routes were added as separate fib6_info for
each leg of the route and linked as siblings:

    f6i -> sibling -> sibling ... -> sibling
     |                                   |
     +--------- multipath route ---------+

With nexthop objects a single fib6_info references an external
nexthop which may have a series of fib6_nh:

     f6i ---> nexthop ---> fib6_nh
                           ...
                           fib6_nh

making IPv6 routes similar to IPv4. The side effect is that a single
fib6_info now indirectly references a series of fib6_nh so the code
needs to walk each entry and call the local, per-fib6_nh processing
function.

Patches 11 and 13 wire up use of nexthops with fib entries for IPv4
and IPv6. With these commits you can actually use nexthops with routes.

Patch 12 is an optimization for IPv4 when using nexthops in the most
predominant use case (no metrics).

Patches 14 handles replace of a nexthop config.

Patches 15-18 add update pmtu and redirect tests to use both old and
new routing.

Patches 19 and 20 add new tests for the nexthop infrastructure. The first
is single nexthop is used by multiple prefixes to communicate with remote
hosts. This is on top of the functional tests already committed. The
second verifies multipath selection.

v4
- changed return to 'goto out' in patch 9 since the rcu_read_lock is
  held (noticed by Wei)

v3
- removed found arg in patch 7 and changed rt6_nh_remove_exception_rt
  to return 1 when a match is found for an exception

v2
- changed ++i to i++ in patches 1 and 14 as noticed by DaveM
- improved commit message for patch 14 (nexthop replace)
- removed the skip_fib argument to remove_nexthop; vestige of an
  older design

      selftests: Add version of router_multipath.sh using nexthop objects · cab14d10
      由 David Ahern 提交于 
      Add a version of router_multipath.sh that uses nexthop objects for
routes.

Ido requested a version that does not cause regressions with mlxsw
testing since it does not support nexthop objects yet.
