IPv6 routes currently lack nexthop flags as in IPv4. This has several
implications.
In the forwarding path, it requires us to check the carrier state of the
nexthop device and potentially ignore a linkdown route, instead of
checking for RTNH_F_LINKDOWN.
It also requires capable drivers to use the user facing IPv6-specific
route flags to provide offload indication, instead of using the nexthop
flags as in IPv4.
Add nexthop flags to IPv6 routes in the 40 bytes hole and use it to
provide offload indication instead of the RTF_OFFLOAD flag, which is
removed while it's still not part of any official kernel release.
In the near future we would like to use the field for the
RTNH_F_{LINKDOWN,DEAD} flags, but this change is more involved and might
not be ready in time for the current cycle.

Due to limited ASIC resources the maximum number of routes is limited by
the nexthop resource. In order to improve the routing scale nexthop
consolidation should be performed.
This patch adds support for IPv6 neighbor consolidation. The hash value
is calculated based on the nexthop set, by performing bitwise xor on the
ifindexs of the nexthops, in a similar way to IPv4's kernel implementation.
In case of collision a full match is performed between the sets which
include address and ifindex comparison.
Non gateway nexthop groups are not inserted to the hash table due to
lack of nexthop device (ifindex).

The number of LPM trees available for lookup is much smaller than the
number of virtual routers, which are used to implement VRFs. In
addition, an LPM tree can only be used by one protocol - either IPv4 or
IPv6.
Therefore, in order to increase the number of supported virtual routers
to the maximum we need to be able to share LPM trees across virtual
routers instead of trying to find an optimized tree for each.
Do that by allocating one LPM tree for each protocol, but make sure it
will only include prefixes that are actually used, so as to not perform
unnecessary lookups.
Since changing the structure of a bound tree isn't recommended, whenever
a new tree it required, it's first created and then bound to each
virtual router, replacing the old one.

Without resorting to ACLs, the device performs route lookup solely based
on the destination IP address.
In case source-specific routing is needed, an error is returned and the
abort mechanism is activated, thus allowing the kernel to take over
forwarding decisions.
Instead of aborting, we can trap specific destination prefixes where
source-specific routes are present, but this will result in a lot more
code that is unlikely to ever be used.

Allow directly connected and remote unicast IPv6 routes to be programmed
to the device's tables.
As with IPv4, identical routes - sharing the same destination prefix -
are ordered in a FIB node according to their table ID and then the
metric. While the kernel doesn't share the same trie for the local and
main table, this does happen in the device, so ordering according to
table ID is needed.
Since individual nexthops can be added and deleted in IPv6, each FIB
entry stores a linked list of the rt6_info structs it represents. Upon
the addition or deletion of a nexthop, a new nexthop group is allocated
according to the new configuration and the old one is destroyed.
Identical groups aren't currently consolidated, but will be in a
follow-up patchset.

The FIB notification chain is currently soley used by IPv4 code.
However, we're going to introduce IPv6 FIB offload support, which
requires these notification as well.
As explained in commit c3852ef7f2 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when
registering FIB notifier"), upon registration to the chain, the callee
receives a full dump of the FIB tables and rules by traversing all the
net namespaces. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-namespace
sequence counter that is incremented whenever a change to the tables or
rules occurs.
In order to allow more address families to use the chain, each family is
expected to register its fib_notifier_ops in its pernet init. These
operations allow the common code to read the family's sequence counter
as well as dump its tables and rules in the given net namespace.
Additionally, a 'family' parameter is added to sent notifications, so
that listeners could distinguish between the different families.
Implement the common code that allows listeners to register to the chain
and for address families to register their fib_notifier_ops. Subsequent
patches will implement these operations in IPv6.
In the future, ipmr and ip6mr will be extended to provide these
notifications as well.

Each FIB node holds a linked list of routes sharing the same prefix and

the device.
In case a gatewayed route is added somewhere in the list, then after its
nexthop group will be refreshed and become valid (due to the resolution
of its gateway), it'll mistakenly overwrite the existing entry.
Example:
192.168.200.0/24 dev enp3s0np3 scope link metric 1000 offload
192.168.200.0/24 via 192.168.100.1 dev enp3s0np3 metric 1000 offload
Both routes are marked as offloaded despite the fact only the first one
should actually be present in the device's table.
When refreshing the nexthop group, don't write the route to the device's

All the RIF types follow a common configuration procedure, which only

The different users (e.g., bridge, router, ACLs) of the FIDs

By encapsulating the entire FID logic and hiding it from the rest of the
driver we get a code base that it much simpler and easier to work with

For example, in the current Spectrum ASIC only 802.1D FIDs can be
assigned a VNI, but future ASICs will also support 802.1Q FIDs. With
this patch in place, support for future ASICs can be easily added by
implementing a new FID operations according to their capabilities.
