Add a big comment explaining how the field works, and use defines
instead of magic constants for the values assigned to it.

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 "noref" argument to ip_route_input_common() is now always ignored
because we do not cache routes, and in that case we must always grab
a reference to the resulting 'dst'.

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,
as suggested by David Miller

Need to mask it with (FNHE_HASH_SIZE - 1).

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.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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
64-bit.  On 32-bits it's a wash.

Nothing every writes to ipv4 metrics any longer.

PMTU is stored in rt->rt_pmtu.

Dynamic TCP metrics are stored in a special TCP metrics cache,
completely outside of the routes.

Therefore ->cow_metrics() can simply nothing more than a WARN_ON
trigger so we can catch anyone who tries to add new writes to
ipv4 route metrics.
