Adds support for RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags on mpls
routes due to link events. Also adds code to ignore dead
routes during route selection.
Unlike ip routes, mpls routes are not deleted when the route goes
dead. This is current mpls behaviour and this patch does not change
that. With this patch however, routes will be marked dead.
dead routes are not notified to userspace (this is consistent with ipv4
routes).

-----------
$ip -f mpls route show

Nexthops for MPLS routes have a via address field sized for the
largest via address that is expected, which is 32 bytes. This means
that in the most common case of having ipv4 via addresses, 28 bytes of
memory more than required are used per nexthop. In the other common
case of an ipv6 nexthop then 16 bytes more than required are
used. With large numbers of MPLS routes this extra memory usage could
start to become significant.
To avoid allocating memory for a maximum length via address when not
all of it is required and to allow for ease of iterating over
nexthops, then the via addresses are changed to be stored in the same
memory block as the route and nexthops, but in an array after the end
of the array of nexthops. New accessors are provided to retrieve a
pointer to the via address.
To allow for O(1) access without having to store a pointer or offset
per nh, the via address for each nexthop is sized according to the
maximum via address for any nexthop in the route, which is stored in a
new route field, rt_max_alen, but this is in an existing hole in
struct mpls_route so it doesn't increase the size of the
structure. Each via address is ensured to be aligned to VIA_ALEN_ALIGN
to account for architectures that don't allow unaligned accesses.

Change the selection of a multipath route to use a flow-based
hash. This more suitable for traffic sensitive to reordering within a
flow (e.g. TCP, L2VPN) and whilst still allowing a good distribution
of traffic given enough flows.
Selection of the path for a multipath route is done using a hash of:
1. Label stack up to MAX_MP_SELECT_LABELS labels or up to and
including entropy label, whichever is first.
2. 3-tuple of (L3 src, L3 dst, proto) from IPv4/IPv6 header in MPLS
payload, if present.
Naturally, a 5-tuple hash using L4 information in addition would be
possible and be better in some scenarios, but there is a tradeoff
between looking deeper into the packet to achieve good distribution,
and packet forwarding performance, and I have erred on the side of the
latter as the default.

This patch adds support for MPLS multipath routes.
Includes following changes to support multipath:
- splits struct mpls_route into 'struct mpls_route + struct mpls_nh'
- 'struct mpls_nh' represents a mpls nexthop label forwarding entry
- moves mpls route and nexthop structures into internal.h
- A mpls_route can point to multiple mpls_nh structs
- the nexthops are maintained as a array (similar to ipv4 fib)
- In the process of restructuring, this patch also consistently changes
all labels to u8
- Adds support to parse/fill RTA_MULTIPATH netlink attribute for
multipath routes similar to ipv4/v6 fib
- In this patch, the multipath route nexthop selection algorithm
simply returns the first nexthop. It is replaced by a
hash based algorithm from Robert Shearman in the next patch
- mpls_route_update cleanup: remove 'dev' handling in mpls_route_update.
mpls_route_update though implemented to update based on dev, it was
never used that way. And the dev handling gets tricky with multiple
nexthops. Cannot match against any single nexthops dev. So, this patch
removes the unused 'dev' handling in mpls_route_update.
- dead route/path handling will be implemented in a subsequent patch
Example:
$ip -f mpls route add 100 nexthop as 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1 \
nexthop as 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2 \
nexthop as 800 via inet 40.1.1.2 dev swp3
$ip -f mpls route show
100
nexthop as to 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1
nexthop as to 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2
nexthop as to 800 via inet 40.1.1.2 dev swp3

lwtstate data to dst_entry makes such inter-protocol tunneling possible.

An MPLS network is a single trust domain where the edges must be in
control of what labels make their way into the core. The simplest way
of ensuring this is for the edge device to always impose the labels,
and not allow forward labeled traffic from untrusted neighbours. This
is achieved by allowing a per-device configuration of whether MPLS
traffic input from that interface should be processed or not.
To be secure by default, the default state is changed to MPLS being
disabled on all interfaces unless explicitly enabled and no global
option is provided to change the default. Whilst this differs from
other protocols (e.g. IPv6), network operators are used to explicitly
enabling MPLS forwarding on interfaces, and with the number of links
to the MPLS core typically fairly low this doesn't present too much of
a burden on operators.

This change adds two new netlink routing attributes:
RTA_VIA and RTA_NEWDST.
RTA_VIA specifies the specifies the next machine to send a packet to
like RTA_GATEWAY. RTA_VIA differs from RTA_GATEWAY in that it
includes the address family of the address of the next machine to send
a packet to. Currently the MPLS code supports addresses in AF_INET,
AF_INET6 and AF_PACKET. For AF_INET and AF_INET6 the destination mac
address is acquired from the neighbour table. For AF_PACKET the
destination mac_address is specified in the netlink configuration.
I think raw destination mac address support with the family AF_PACKET
will prove useful. There is MPLS-TP which is defined to operate
on machines that do not support internet packets of any flavor. Further
seem to be corner cases where it can be useful. At this point
I don't care much either way.
RTA_NEWDST specifies the destination address to forward the packet
with. MPLS typically changes it's destination address at every hop.
For a swap operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with a length of one label.
For a push operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with two or more labels.
For a pop operation RTA_NEWDST is not specified or equivalently an emtpy
RTAN_NEWDST is specified.
Those new netlink attributes are used to implement handling of rt-netlink
RTM_NEWROUTE, RTM_DELROUTE, and RTM_GETROUTE messages, to maintain the
MPLS label table.
rtm_to_route_config parses a netlink RTM_NEWROUTE or RTM_DELROUTE message,
verify no unhandled attributes or unhandled values are present and sets
up the data structures for mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del.
I did my best to match up with the existing conventions with the caveats
that MPLS addresses are all destination-specific-addresses, and so
don't properly have a scope.

Reading and writing addresses in network byte order in netlink is
traditional and I see no reason to change that. MPLS is interesting
as effectively it has variabely length addresses (the MPLS label
stack). To represent these variable length addresses in netlink
I use a valid MPLS label stack (complete with stop bit).
This achieves two things: a well defined existing format is used,
and the data can be interpreted without looking at it's length.
Not needed to look at the length to decode the variable length
network representation allows existing userspace functions
such as inet_ntop to be used without needed to change their
prototype.

mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del implement the basic logic for adding
and removing Next Hop Label Forwarding Entries from the MPLS input
label map. The addition and subtraction is done in a way that is
consistent with how the existing routing table in Linux are
maintained. Thus all of the work to deal with NLM_F_APPEND,
NLM_F_EXCL, NLM_F_REPLACE, and NLM_F_CREATE.
Cases that are not clearly defined such as changing the interpretation
of the mpls reserved labels is not allowed.
Because it seems like the right thing to do adding an MPLS route without
specifying an input label and allowing the kernel to pick a free label
table entry is supported. The implementation is currently less than optimal
but that can be changed.
As I don't have anything else to test with only ethernet and the loopback
device are the only two device types currently supported for forwarding
MPLS over.

mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding
any packets. This prevents unpleasant surprises for users.
The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense
table a small dense label table may be used which saves memory and
is extremely simple and efficient to implement.
This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label
table size userspace applications need to cope with.

This change adds a new Kconfig option MPLS_ROUTING.
The core of this change is the code to look at an mpls packet received
from another machine. Look that packet up in a routing table and
forward the packet on.
Support of MPLS over ATM is not considered or attempted here. This
implemntation follows RFC3032 and implements the MPLS shim header that
can pass over essentially any network.
What RFC3021 refers to as the as the Incoming Label Map (ILM) I call
net->mpls.platform_label[]. What RFC3031 refers to as the Next Label
Hop Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) I call mpls_route. Though calling it the
label fordwarding information base (lfib) might also be valid.
Further the implemntation forwards packets as described in RFC3032.
There is no need and given the original motivation for MPLS a strong
discincentive to have a flexible label forwarding path. In essence
the logic is the topmost label is read, looked up, removed, and
replaced by 0 or more new lables and the sent out the specified
interface to it's next hop.
Quite a few optional features are not implemented here. Among them
are generation of ICMP errors when the TTL is exceeded or the packet
is larger than the next hop MTU (those conditions are detected and the
packets are dropped instead of generating an icmp error). The traffic
class field is always set to 0. The implementation focuses on IP over
MPLS and does not handle egress of other kinds of protocols.
Instead of implementing coordination with the neighbour table and
sorting out how to input next hops in a different address family (for
which there is value). I was lazy and implemented a next hop mac
address instead. The code is simpler and there are flavor of MPLS
such as MPLS-TP where neither an IPv4 nor an IPv6 next hop is
appropriate so a next hop by mac address would need to be implemented
at some point.
Two new definitions AF_MPLS and PF_MPLS are exposed to userspace.
Decoding the mpls header must be done by first byeswapping a 32bit bit
endian word into the local cpu endian and then bit shifting to extract
the pieces. There is no C bit-field that can represent a wire format
mpls header on a little endian machine as the low bits of the 20bit
label wind up in the wrong half of third byte. Therefore internally
everything is deal with in cpu native byte order except when writing
to and reading from a packet.
For management simplicity if a label is configured to forward out
an interface that is down the packet is dropped early. Similarly
if an network interface is removed rt_dev is updated to NULL
(so no reference is preserved) and any packets for that label
are dropped. Keeping the label entries in the kernel allows
the kernel label table to function as the definitive source
of which labels are allocated and which are not.

Device can export MPLS GSO support in dev->mpls_features same way

skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features
available to the output path.
A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use
those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels.
Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can
then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits,
as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation.
This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs
that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work
when device supports corresponding hw offload capabilities.

The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and
UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo
header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related
gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed.

Call gso_make_checksum. This should have the benefit of using a
checksum that may have been previously computed for the packet.
This also adds NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM to differentiate devices that
offload GRE GSO with and without the GRE checksum offloaed.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.
The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.
SKB Usage:
When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:
* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.
* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.
* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.
I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.
Features:
I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.
This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.
A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.
Alternate Implementation:
One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().
I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.
