This sets adds 'struct nexthop' to fib_info and fib6_info. IPv4
already handles multiple fib_nh entries in a single fib_info, so
the conversion to use a nexthop struct is fairly mechanical. IPv6
using a nexthop struct with a fib6_info impacts a lot of core logic
which is built around the assumption of a single, builtin fib6_nh
per fib6_info. To make this easier to review, this set adds
nexthop to fib6_info and adds checks in most places fib6_info is
used. The next set finishes the IPv6 conversion, walking through
the places that need to consider all fib6_nh within a nexthop struct.
Offload drivers - mlx5, mlxsw and rocker - are changed to fail FIB
entries using nexthop objects. That limitation can be removed once
the drivers are updated to properly support separate nexthops.
This set starts by adding accessors for fib_nh and fib_nhs in a
fib_info. This makes it easier to extract the number of nexthops
in the fib entry and a specific fib_nh once the entry references
a struct nexthop. Patch 2 converts more of IPv4 code to use
fib_nh_common allowing a struct nexthop to use a fib6_nh with an
IPv4 entry.
Patches 3 and 4 add 'struct nexthop' to fib{6}_info and update
references to both take a different path when it is set. New
exported functions are added to the nexthop code to validate a
nexthop struct when configured for use with a fib entry. IPv4
is allowed to use a nexthop with either v4 or v6 entries. IPv6
is limited to v6 entries only. In both cases list_heads track
the fib entries using a nexthop struct for fast correlation on
events (e.g., device events or nexthop events like delete or
replace).
The last 3 patches add hooks to drivers listening for FIB
notificationas. All 3 of them reject the routes as unsupported,
returning an error message to the user via extack. For mlxsw
at least this is a stop gap measure until the driver is updated for
proper support.
David Ahern (7):
ipv4: Use accessors for fib_info nexthop data
ipv4: Prepare for fib6_nh from a nexthop object
ipv4: Plumb support for nexthop object in a fib_info
ipv6: Plumb support for nexthop object in a fib6_info
mlxsw: Fail attempts to use routes with nexthop objects
mlx5: Fail attempts to use routes with nexthop objects
rocker: Fail attempts to use routes with nexthop objects
