Yotam Gigi 4d65b94878 ipmr: Add FIB notification access functions
Make the ipmr module register as a FIB notifier. To do that, implement both
the ipmr_seq_read and ipmr_dump ops.

The ipmr_seq_read op returns a sequence counter that is incremented on
every notification related operation done by the ipmr. To implement that,
add a sequence counter in the netns_ipv4 struct and increment it whenever a
new MFC route or VIF are added or deleted. The sequence operations are
protected by the RTNL lock.

The ipmr_dump iterates the list of MFC routes and the list of VIF entries
and sends notifications about them. The entries dump is done under RCU
where the VIF dump uses the mrt_lock too, as the vif->dev field can change
under RCU.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
