This commit makes use of the exception hash table implementation to
store dst caches created by pmtu discovery and ip redirect into the hash
table under the rt_info and no longer inserts these routes into fib6
tree.
This makes the fib6 tree only contain static configured routes and could
now be protected by rcu instead of a rw lock.
With this change, in the route lookup related functions, after finding
the rt6_info with the longest prefix, we also need to search for the
exception table before doing backtracking.
In the route delete function, if the route being deleted is not a dst
cache, deletion of this route also need to flush the whole hash table
under it. If it is a dst cache, then only delete the cached dst in the
hash table.
Note: for fib6_walk_continue() function, w->root now is always pointing
to a root node considering that fib6_prune_clones() is removed from the
code. So we add a WARN_ON() msg to make sure w->root always points to a
root node and also removed the update of w->root in fib6_repair_tree().
This is a prerequisite for later patch because we don't need to make
w->root as rcu protected when replacing rwlock with RCU.
Also, we remove all prune related variables as it is no longer used.

fib6_locate() is used to find the fib6_node according to the passed in
prefix address key. It currently tries to find the fib6_node with the
exact match of the passed in key. However, when we move cached routes
into the exception table, fib6_locate() will fail to find the fib6_node
for it as the cached routes will be stored in the exception table under
the fib6_node with the longest prefix match of the cache's dst addr key.
This commit adds a new parameter to let the caller specify if it needs
exact match or longest prefix match.
Right now, all callers still does exact match when calling
fib6_locate(). It will be changed in later commit where exception table
is hooked up to store cached routes.

We currently keep rt->rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt->rt6i_node, it could
potentially cause crashes as rt->rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
CPUs when doing a route deletion.
This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().

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.

Dump all the FIB tables in each net namespace upon registration to the

The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-table sequence counter

All the sequence counters are read (under each table's read lock) and

While it's possible for a table to be modified after its counter has
been read, this isn't really a problem. In case it happened before it

As with IPv4, allow listeners of the FIB notification chain to receive
notifications whenever a route is added, replaced or deleted. This is
done by placing calls to the FIB notification chain in the two lowest
level functions that end up performing these operations - namely,
fib6_add_rt2node() and fib6_del_route().
Unlike IPv4, APPEND notifications aren't sent as the kernel doesn't
distinguish between "append" (NLM_F_CREATE|NLM_F_APPEND) and "prepend"
(NLM_F_CREATE). If NLM_F_EXCL isn't set, duplicate routes are always

IPv4 allows multipath routes to be deleted using just the prefix and
length. For example:
$ ip ro ls vrf red
unreachable default metric 8192
1.1.1.0/24
nexthop via 10.100.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1
nexthop via 10.11.200.2 dev eth11.200 weight 1
10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3
10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3
$ ip ro del 1.1.1.0/24 vrf red
$ ip ro ls vrf red
unreachable default metric 8192
10.11.200.0/24 dev eth11.200 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.200.3
10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.3
The same notation does not work with IPv6 because of how multipath routes
are implemented for IPv6. For IPv6 only the first nexthop of a multipath
route is deleted if the request contains only a prefix and length. This
leads to unnecessary complexity in userspace dealing with IPv6 multipath
routes.
This patch allows all nexthops to be deleted without specifying each one
in the delete request. Internally, this is done by walking the sibling
list of the route matching the specifications given (prefix, length,
metric, protocol, etc).
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:200::/120 via 2001:db8:1::2 dev eth1 metric 1024 pref medium
2001:db8:200::/120 via 2001:db8:2::2 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium
...
$ ip -6 ro del vrf red 2001:db8:200::/120
$ ip -6 ro ls vrf red
2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
...
Because IPv6 allows individual nexthops to be deleted without deleting
the entire route, the ip6_route_multipath_del and non-multipath code
path (ip6_route_del) have to be discriminated so that all nexthops are
only deleted for the latter case. This is done by making the existing
fc_type in fib6_config a u16 and then adding a new u16 field with
fc_delete_all_nh as the first bit.

inet_peer is indexed by the dst address alone. However, the fib6 tree
could have multiple routing entries (rt6_info) for the same dst. For
example,
1. A /128 dst via multiple gateways.
2. A RTF_CACHE route cloned from a /128 route.
In the above cases, all of them will share the same metrics and
step on each other.
This patch will steer away from inet_peer's metrics and use
dst_cow_metrics_generic() for everything.
Change Highlights:
1. Remove rt6_cow_metrics() which currently acquires metrics from
inet_peer for DST_HOST route (i.e. /128 route).
2. Add rt6i_pmtu to take care of the pmtu update to avoid creating a
full size metrics just to override the RTAX_MTU.
3. After (2), the RTF_CACHE route can also share the metrics with its
dst.from route, by:
dst_init_metrics(&cache_rt->dst, dst_metrics_ptr(cache_rt->dst.from), true);
4. Stop creating RTF_CACHE route by cloning another RTF_CACHE route. Instead,
directly clone from rt->dst.
[ Currently, cloning from another RTF_CACHE is only possible during
rt6_do_redirect(). Also, the old clone is removed from the tree
immediately after the new clone is added. ]
In case of cloning from an older redirect RTF_CACHE, it should work as
before.
In case of cloning from an older pmtu RTF_CACHE, this patch will forget
the pmtu and re-learn it (if there is any) from the redirected route.
The _rt6i_peer and DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE will be removed
in the next cleanup patch.

Eric Dumazet noticed that all no-nonexthop or no-gateway routes which
are already marked DST_HOST (e.g. input routes routes) will always be
invalidated during sk_dst_check. Thus per-socket dst caching absolutely
had no effect and early demuxing had no effect.
Thus this patch removes rt6i_genid: fn_sernum already gets modified during
add operations, so we only must ensure we mutate fn_sernum during ipv6
address remove operations. This is a fairly cost extensive operations,
but address removal should not happen that often. Also our mtu update
functions do the same and we heard no complains so far. xfrm policy
changes also cause a call into fib6_flush_trees. Also plug a hole in
rt6_info (no cacheline changes).
I verified via tracing that this change has effect.

If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a
new route for the same target with different metrics fails but
rewrites the metrics anyway:
12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000
12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256
fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1s
12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256
fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1.5s
This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in
their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the
new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics
with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add()
rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being
used at all.
Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear
unexpectedly for a new route, e.g.
12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000
12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1
12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0
12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10
12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256
fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s
Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down
into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are
inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is
addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE
which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes
ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer
(even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that.
v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags
v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes
Frederic Sowa)
v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the
metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we
already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to
net-next as it is quite late in the cycle.

On receiving a packet too big icmp error we update the expire value by
calling rt6_update_expires. This function uses dst_set_expires which is
implemented that it can only reduce the expiration value of the dst entry.
If we insert new routing non-expiry information into the ipv6 fib where
we already have a matching rt6_info we only clear the RTF_EXPIRES flag
in rt6i_flags and leave the dst.expires value as is.
When new mtu information arrives for that cached dst_entry we again
call dst_set_expires. This time it won't update the dst.expire value
because we left the dst.expire value intact from the last update. So
dst_set_expires won't touch dst.expires.
Fix this by resetting dst.expires when clearing the RTF_EXPIRE flag.
dst_set_expires checks for a zero expiration and updates the
dst.expires.
In the past this (not updating dst.expires) was necessary because

On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.
This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.
Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

Because we do not have any locks for dst_entry, we cannot change
essential structure in the entry; e.g., we cannot change reference
to other entity.
To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry
out of union. Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor,
keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of
the object.
Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple
just for fresh entries.

/proc/net/ipv6_route reflects the contents of fib_table_hash. The proc
handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is
allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed.
This opens up a short time frame to access fib_table_hash with its pants
down.
fib6_init() as a whole can't be moved to an earlier position as it also
registers the rtnetlink message handlers which should be registered at
the end. Therefore split it into fib6_init() which is run early and
fib6_init_late() to register the rtnetlink message handlers.

During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route
operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses
"write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I
found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea
exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling
"read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize
reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route
table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause
network performance issues.
To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3
cases:
* doing nothing
* reading ipv6 route table via proc
(while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done)
* reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink
(while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done)
* Load the ipv6 route table up with:
* for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done
* iperf commands:
* client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr>
* server: iperf -V -s
* iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec)
* nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927
* proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133
* iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927
lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this
info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces
write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock). With
this new function I see the same results as with my rtnetlink iperf test.

If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly
propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example
PMTU information and redirects.
The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would
be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of
sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc.
Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer
entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics
and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry.
If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this
information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that
cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry.
The facilities implemented here handle this problem.
First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any
kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any
time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path
information, we bump that generation ID.
The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event
is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one
stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached
to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now
that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the
route's generation ID too.
This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in
the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached
route information in order to maintain this information.
At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the
later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers.

Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently

Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init
Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values
(set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized
dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical.
This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on
the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that
we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as
the routing table can.
For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash
buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage
collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 *
gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size.
For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size,
but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems
sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half
the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4
code does).

The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the

parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the
init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use
the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the
expired timer.
The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called
synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer
expires.
When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter
is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback
but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer
callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the
timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring
time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner

As per RFC2461, section 6.3.6, item #2, when no routers on the
matching list are known to be reachable or probably reachable we
do round robin on those available routes so that we make sure
to probe as many of them as possible to detect when one becomes
reachable faster.
Each routing table has a rwlock protecting the tree and the linked
list of routes at each leaf. The round robin code executes during
lookup and thus with the rwlock taken as a reader. A small local
spinlock tries to provide protection but this does not work at all
for two reasons:
1) The round-robin list manipulation, as coded, goes like this (with
read lock held):
walk routes finding head and tail
spin_lock();
rotate list using head and tail
spin_unlock();
While one thread is rotating the list, another thread can
end up with stale values of head and tail and then proceed
to corrupt the list when it gets the lock. This ends up causing
the OOPS in fib6_add() later onthat many people have been hitting.
2) All the other code paths that run with the rwlock held as
a reader do not expect the list to change on them, they
expect it to remain completely fixed while they hold the
lock in that way.
So, simply stated, it is impossible to implement this correctly using
a manipulation of the list without violating the rwlock locking
semantics.
Reimplement using a per-fib6_node round-robin pointer. This way we
don't need to manipulate the list at all, and since the round-robin
pointer can only ever point to real existing entries we don't need
to perform any locking on the changing of the round-robin pointer
itself. We only need to reset the round-robin pointer to NULL when
the entry it is pointing to is removed.
The idea is from Thomas Graf and it is very similar to how this
was implemented before the advanced router selection code when in.

Replaces the struct in6_rtmsg based interface orignating from
the ioctl interface with a struct fib6_config based on. Allows
changing the interface without breaking the ioctl interface
and avoids passing on tons of parameters.
The recently introduced struct nl_info is used to pass on
netlink authorship information for notifications.

Adds the framework to support multiple IPv6 routing tables.
Currently all automatically generated routes are put into the
same table. This could be changed at a later point after
considering the produced locking overhead.

Essentially netlink at the moment always reports a pid and sequence of 0
always for v6 route activities.
To understand the repurcassions of this look at:
http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2005-June/003507.html
While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue
of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well.
This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e
maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to
the process. That made the patch a little bulky.
I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as
well as ioctl derived one. The Quagga folks have tested against quagga.
This fixes the problem and so far hasnt been detected to introduce any
new issues.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
