When the resilient nexthop group is offloaded to hardware, the kernel

Implement the following notifications towards drivers:
- NEXTHOP_EVENT_REPLACE, when a resilient nexthop group is created.
- NEXTHOP_EVENT_BUCKET_REPLACE any time there is a change in assignment of
next hops to hash table buckets. That includes replacements, deletions,
and delayed upkeep cycles. Some bucket notifications can be vetoed by the
driver, to make it possible to propagate bucket busy-ness flags from the
HW back to the algorithm. Some are however forced, e.g. if a next hop is
deleted, all buckets that use this next hop simply must be migrated,
whether the HW wishes so or not.
- NEXTHOP_EVENT_RES_TABLE_PRE_REPLACE, before a resilient nexthop group is
replaced. Usually the driver will get the bucket notifications as well,
and could veto those. But in some cases, a bucket may not be migrated
immediately, but during delayed upkeep, and that is too late to roll the
transaction back. This notification allows the driver to take a look and
veto the new proposed group up front, before anything is committed.

At this moment, there is only one type of next-hop group: an mpath group,
which implements the hash-threshold algorithm.
To select a next hop, hash-threshold algorithm first assigns a range of
hashes to each next hop in the group, and then selects the next hop by
comparing the SKB hash with the individual ranges. When a next hop is
removed from the group, the ranges are recomputed, which leads to
reassignment of parts of hash space from one next hop to another. While
there will usually be some overlap between the previous and the new
distribution, some traffic flows change the next hop that they resolve to.
That causes problems e.g. as established TCP connections are reset, because
the traffic is forwarded to a server that is not familiar with the
connection.
Resilient hashing is a technique to address the above problem. Resilient
next-hop group has another layer of indirection between the group itself
and its constituent next hops: a hash table. The selection algorithm uses a
straightforward modulo operation to choose a hash bucket, and then reads
the next hop that this bucket contains, and forwards traffic there.
This indirection brings an important feature. In the hash-threshold
algorithm, the range of hashes associated with a next hop must be
continuous. With a hash table, mapping between the hash table buckets and
the individual next hops is arbitrary. Therefore when a next hop is deleted
the buckets that held it are simply reassigned to other next hops. When
weights of next hops in a group are altered, it may be possible to choose a
subset of buckets that are currently not used for forwarding traffic, and
use those to satisfy the new next-hop distribution demands, keeping the
"busy" buckets intact. This way, established flows are ideally kept being
forwarded to the same endpoints through the same paths as before the
next-hop group change.
In a nutshell, the algorithm works as follows. Each next hop has a number
of buckets that it wants to have, according to its weight and the number of
buckets in the hash table. In case of an event that might cause bucket
allocation change, the numbers for individual next hops are updated,
similarly to how ranges are updated for mpath group next hops. Following
that, a new "upkeep" algorithm runs, and for idle buckets that belong to a
next hop that is currently occupying more buckets than it wants (it is
"overweight"), it migrates the buckets to one of the next hops that has
fewer buckets than it wants (it is "underweight"). If, after this, there
are still underweight next hops, another upkeep run is scheduled to a
future time.
Chances are there are not enough "idle" buckets to satisfy the new demands.
The algorithm has knobs to select both what it means for a bucket to be
idle, and for whether and when to forcefully migrate buckets if there keeps
being an insufficient number of idle buckets.
There are three users of the resilient data structures.
- The forwarding code accesses them under RCU, and does not modify them
except for updating the time a selected bucket was last used.
- Netlink code, running under RTNL, which may modify the data.
- The delayed upkeep code, which may modify the data. This runs unlocked,
and mutual exclusion between the RTNL code and the delayed upkeep is
maintained by canceling the delayed work synchronously before the RTNL
code touches anything. Later it restarts the delayed work if necessary.
The RTNL code has to implement next-hop group replacement, next hop
removal, etc. For removal, the mpath code uses a neat trick of having a
backup next hop group structure, doing the necessary changes offline, and
then RCU-swapping them in. However, the hash tables for resilient hashing
are about an order of magnitude larger than the groups themselves (the size
might be e.g. 4K entries), and it was felt that keeping two of them is an
overkill. Both the primary next-hop group and the spare therefore use the
same resilient table, and writers are careful to keep all references valid
for the forwarding code. The hash table references next-hop group entries
from the next-hop group that is currently in the primary role (i.e. not
spare). During the transition from primary to spare, the table references a
mix of both the primary group and the spare. When a next hop is deleted,
the corresponding buckets are not set to NULL, but instead marked as empty,
so that the pointer is valid and can be used by the forwarding code. The
buckets are then migrated to a new next-hop group entry during upkeep. The
only times that the hash table is invalid is the very beginning and very
end of its lifetime. Between those points, it is always kept valid.
This patch introduces the core support code itself. It does not handle
notifications towards drivers, which are kept as if the group were an mpath
one. It does not handle netlink either. The only bit currently exposed to
user space is the new next-hop group type, and that is currently bounced.
There is therefore no way to actually access this code.

- RTM_NEWNEXTHOP et.al. that handle resilient groups will have a new nested
attribute, NHA_RES_GROUP, whose elements are attributes NHA_RES_GROUP_*.
- RTM_NEWNEXTHOPBUCKET et.al. is a suite of new messages that will
currently serve only for dumping of individual buckets of resilient next
hop groups. For nexthop group buckets, these messages will carry a nested
attribute NHA_RES_BUCKET, whose elements are attributes NHA_RES_BUCKET_*.
There are several reasons why a new suite of messages is created for
nexthop buckets instead of overloading the information on the existing
RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}NEXTHOP messages.
First, a nexthop group can contain a large number of nexthop buckets (4k
is not unheard of). This imposes limits on the amount of information that
can be encoded for each nexthop bucket given a netlink message is limited
to 64k bytes.
Second, while RTM_NEWNEXTHOPBUCKET is only used for notifications at
this point, in the future it can be extended to provide user space with
control over nexthop buckets configuration.
- The new group type is NEXTHOP_GRP_TYPE_RES. Note that nexthop code is
adjusted to bounce groups with that type for now.

Currently, replace assumes that the new group that is given is a
fully-formed object. But mpath groups really only have one attribute, and
that is the constituent next hop configuration. This may not be universally
true. From the usability perspective, it is desirable to allow the replace
operation to adjust just the constituent next hop configuration and leave
the group attributes as such intact.
But the object that keeps track of whether an attribute was or was not
given is the nh_config object, not the next hop or next-hop group. To allow
(selective) attribute updates during NH group replacement, propagate `cfg'
to replace_nexthop() and further to replace_nexthop_grp().

As far as user space is concerned, blackhole nexthops do not have a
nexthop device and therefore should not be affected by the
administrative or carrier state of any netdev.
However, when the loopback netdev goes down all the blackhole nexthops
are flushed. This happens because internally the kernel associates
blackhole nexthops with the loopback netdev.
This behavior is both confusing to those not familiar with kernel
internals and also diverges from the legacy API where blackhole IPv4
routes are not flushed when the loopback netdev goes down:
# ip route add blackhole 198.51.100.0/24
# ip link set dev lo down
# ip route show 198.51.100.0/24
blackhole 198.51.100.0/24
Blackhole IPv6 routes are flushed, but at least user space knows that
they are associated with the loopback netdev:
# ip -6 route show 2001:db8:1::/64
blackhole 2001:db8:1::/64 dev lo metric 1024 pref medium
Fix this by only flushing blackhole nexthops when the loopback netdev is
unregistered.

these attributes except when NHA_FDB attribute is present--then it accepts

NHA_FDB validation that takes place before, in rtm_to_nh_config(), already
bounces NHA_OIF, NHA_BLACKHOLE, NHA_ENCAP and NHA_ENCAP_TYPE. Yet further
back, NHA_GROUPS and NHA_MASTER are bounced unconditionally.
But that still leaves NHA_GATEWAY as an attribute that would be accepted in
FDB nexthop groups (with no meaning), so long as it keeps the address
family as unspecified:
# ip nexthop add id 1 fdb via 127.0.0.1
# ip nexthop add id 10 fdb via default group 1
The nexthop code is still relatively new and likely not used very broadly,
and the FDB bits are newer still. Even though there is a reproducer out
there, it relies on an improbable gateway arguments "via default", "via

Since nexthops are always deleted under RTNL, synchronize_net() can be
used instead. It will call synchronize_rcu_expedited() which only blocks
for several microseconds as opposed to multiple milliseconds like
synchronize_rcu().
With this patch deletion of 16k nexthops takes less than a second:
# time -p ip link set dev dummy10 down
real 0.12
user 0.00
sys 0.04
Tested with fib_nexthops.sh which includes torture tests that prompted
the initial change:
# ./fib_nexthops.sh
...
Tests passed: 134
Tests failed: 0

Currently, the in-kernel delete notification is emitted from the error
path of nexthop_add() and replace_nexthop(), which can be confusing to
in-kernel listeners as they are not familiar with the nexthop.
Instead, only emit the notification when the nexthop is actually
deleted. The following sub-cases are covered:
1. User space deletes the nexthop
2. The nexthop is deleted by the kernel due to a netdev event (e.g.,
nexthop device going down)
3. A group is deleted because its last nexthop is being deleted
4. The network namespace of the nexthop device is deleted

Currently, the only listener of the nexthop notification chain is the
VXLAN driver. Subsequent patches will add more listeners (e.g., device
drivers such as netdevsim) that need to be able to block when processing
notifications.
Therefore, convert the notification chain to a blocking one. This is
safe as notifications are always emitted from process context.

Each nexthop group contains an indication if it has IPv4 nexthops
('has_v4'). Its purpose is to prevent IPv6 routes from using groups with
IPv4 nexthops.
However, the indication is not updated when a nexthop is replaced. This
results in the kernel wrongly rejecting IPv6 routes from pointing to
groups that only contain IPv6 nexthops. Example:
# ip nexthop replace id 1 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10
# ip nexthop replace id 10 group 1
# ip nexthop replace id 1 via 2001:db8:1::2 dev dummy10
# ip route replace 2001:db8:10::/64 nhid 10
Error: IPv6 routes can not use an IPv4 nexthop.
Solve this by iterating over all the nexthop groups that the replaced
nexthop is a member of and potentially update their IPv4 indication
according to the new set of member nexthops.
Avoid wasting cycles by only performing the update in case an IPv4
nexthop is replaced by an IPv6 nexthop.

The code correctly uses nla_get_be32() to get the payload of the

The struct looks as follows:
struct nh_group {
struct nh_group *spare; /* spare group for removals */
u16 num_nh;
bool mpath;
bool fdb_nh;
bool has_v4;
struct nh_grp_entry nh_entries[];
};
But its offset within 'struct nexthop' is also taken into account to
determine the allocation size.
Instead, use struct_size() to allocate only the required number of
bytes.

fdb nexthops are marked with a flag. For standalone nexthops, a flag was
added to the nh_info struct. For groups that flag was added to struct
nexthop when it should have been added to the group information. Fix
by removing the flag from the nexthop struct and adding a flag to nh_group
that mirrors nh_info and is really only a caching of the individual types.
Add a helper, nexthop_is_fdb, for use by the vxlan code and fixup the
internal code to use the flag from either nh_info or nh_group.
