Julian Anastasov 94720e3aee ipv4: fix fnhe usage by non-cached routes
Allow some non-cached routes to use non-expired fnhe:

1. ip_del_fnhe: moved above and now called by find_exception.
The 4.5+ commit deed49df73 expires fnhe only when caching
routes. Change that to:

1.1. use fnhe for non-cached local output routes, with the help
from (2)

1.2. allow __mkroute_input to detect expired fnhe (outdated
fnhe_gw, for example) when do_cache is false, eg. when itag!=0
for unicast destinations.

2. __mkroute_output: keep fi to allow local routes with orig_oif != 0
to use fnhe info even when the new route will not be cached into fnhe.
After commit 839da4d989 ("net: ipv4: set orig_oif based on fib
result for local traffic") it means all local routes will be affected
because they are not cached. This change is used to solve a PMTU
problem with IPVS (and probably Netfilter DNAT) setups that redirect
local clients from target local IP (local route to Virtual IP)
to new remote IP target, eg. IPVS TUN real server. Loopback has
64K MTU and we need to create fnhe on the local route that will
keep the reduced PMTU for the Virtual IP. Without this change
fnhe_pmtu is updated from ICMP but never exposed to non-cached
local routes. This includes routes with flowi4_oif!=0 for 4.6+ and
with flowi4_oif=any for 4.14+).

3. update_or_create_fnhe: make sure fnhe_expires is not 0 for
new entries

Fixes: 839da4d989 ("net: ipv4: set orig_oif based on fib result for local traffic")
Fixes: d6d5e999e5 ("route: do not cache fib route info on local routes with oif")
Fixes: deed49df73 ("route: check and remove route cache when we get route")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
