The goal of the fib support is to provide multiple independent
routing tables, isolated from each other.
net.add_addr_allfibs default tries to shift gears in the opposite
direction, unconditionally inserting all addresses to all of the fibs.
There are use cases when this is necessary, however this is not a
default expected behaviour, especially compared to other implementations.
Provide WARNING message for the setups with multiple fibs to notify
potential users of the feature.

connections over multiple paths.
Multipath routing relies on mbuf flowid data for both transit
and outbound traffic. Current code fills mbuf flowid from inp_flowid
for connection-oriented sockets. However, inp_flowid is currently
not calculated for outbound connections.
This change creates simple hashing functions and starts calculating hashes
for TCP,UDP/UDP-Lite and raw IP if multipath routes are present in the
system.

Nexthop lookup was not consireding rt_flags when doing
structure comparison, which lead to an original nexthop
selection when changing flags. Fix the case by adding
rt_flags field into comparison and rearranging nhop_priv
fields to allow for efficient matching.
Fix `route change X/Y flags` case - recent changes
disallowed specifying RTF_GATEWAY flag without actual gateway.
It turns out, route(8) fills in RTF_GATEWAY by default, unless
-interface flag is specified. Fix regression by clearing
RTF_GATEWAY flag instead of failing.
Fix route flag reporting in RTM_CHANGE messages by explicitly
updating rtm_flags after operation competion.
Add IPv4/IPv6 tests for flag-only route changes.
This change is based on the nexthop objects landed in D24232.
The change introduces the concept of nexthop groups.
Each group contains the collection of nexthops with their
relative weights and a dataplane-optimized structure to enable
efficient nexthop selection.
Simular to the nexthops, nexthop groups are immutable. Dataplane part
gets compiled during group creation and is basically an array of
nexthop pointers, compiled w.r.t their weights.
With this change, `rt_nhop` field of `struct rtentry` contains either
nexthop or nexthop group. They are distinguished by the presense of
NHF_MULTIPATH flag.
All dataplane lookup functions returns pointer to the nexthop object,
leaving nexhop groups details inside routing subsystem.
User-visible changes:
The change is intended to be backward-compatible: all non-mpath operations
should work as before with ROUTE_MPATH and net.route.multipath=1.
All routes now comes with weight, default weight is 1, maximum is 2^24-1.
Current maximum multipath group width is statically set to 64.
This will become sysctl-tunable in the followup changes.
Using functionality:
* Recompile kernel with ROUTE_MPATH
* set net.route.multipath to 1
route add -6 2001:db8::/32 2001:db8::2 -weight 10
route add -6 2001:db8::/32 2001:db8::3 -weight 20

No functional changes.
Initially this function was created to perform runtime flag conversions
for the previous incarnation of fib lookup functions. As these functions
got deprecated, move the function to the file with the only remaining
caller. Lastly, rename it to convert_rt_to_nh_flags() to follow the
naming notation.
No functional changes.
net/route/shared.h was created in the inital phases of nexthop conversion.
It was intended to serve the same purpose as route_var.h - share definitions
of functions and structures between the routing subsystem components. At
that time route_var.h was included by many files external to the routing
subsystem, which largerly defeats its purpose.
As currently this is not the case anymore and amount of route_var.h includes
is roughly the same as shared.h, retire the latter in favour of the former.
As nexthops are immutable, some operations such as route attribute changes
require nexthop fetching, forking, modification and route switching.
These operations are not atomic, so they may need to be retried multiple
times in presence of multiple speakers changing the same route.
This change introduces "synchronisation" primitive: route_update_conditional(),
simplifying logic for route changes and upcoming multipath operations.

rtentry lock traditionally served 2 purposed: first was protecting refcounts,
the second was assuring consistent field access/changes.
Since route nexthop introduction, the need for the former disappeared and
the need for the latter reduced.
To be more precise, the following rte field are mutable:
rt_nhop (nexthop pointer, updated with RIB_WLOCK, passed in rib_cmd_info)
rte_flags (only RTF_HOST and RTF_UP, where RTF_UP gets changed at rte removal)
rt_weight (relative weight, updated with RIB_WLOCK, passed in rib_cmd_info)
rt_expire (time when rte deletion is scheduled, updated with RIB_WLOCK)
rt_chain (deletion chain pointer, updated with RIB_WLOCK)
All of them are updated under RIB_WLOCK, so the only remaining concern is the reading.
rt_nhop and rt_weight (addressed in this review) are read under rib lock and
stored in the rib_cmd_info, so the caller has no problem with consitency.
rte_flags is currently read unlocked in rtsock reporting (however the scope
is only RTF_UP flag, which is pretty static).
rt_expire is currently read unlocked in rtsock reporting.
rt_chain accesses are safe, as this is only used at route deletion.
rt_expire and rte_flags reads will be dealt in a separate reviews soon.

Currently there is no easy way of subscribing for the routing table changes.
The only existing way is to set ifa_rtrequest callback in the each protocol
ifaddr, which is not convenient or extandable.
This change provides generic notification subscription mechanism, that will
replace current ifa_rtrequest one and allow other applications such as
accelerated routing lookup modules subscribe for the changes.
In particular, this change provides 2 hooks: 1) synchronous one
(RIB_NOTIFY_IMMEDIATE), called under RIB_WLOCK, which ensures exact
ordering of the changes and 2) async one, (RIB_NOTIFY_DELAYED)
that is called after the change w/o holding locks. The latter one does not
provide any notification ordering guarantee.

The main driver for the change is the need to improve notification mechanism.
Currently callers guess the operation data based on the rtentry structure
returned in case of successful operation result. There are two problems with
this appoach. First is that it doesn't provide enough information for the
upcoming multipath changes, where rtentry refers to a new nexthop group,
and there is no way of guessing which paths were added during the change.
Second is that some rtentry fields can change during notification and
protecting from it by requiring customers to unlock rtentry is not desired.
Additionally, as the consumers such as rtsock do know which operation they
request in advance, making explicit add/change/del versions of the functions
makes sense, especially given the functions don't share a lot of code.
With that in mind, introduce rib_cmd_info notification structure and
rib_<add|del|change>_route() functions, with mandatory rib_cmd_info pointer.
It will be used in upcoming generalized notifications.
* Move definitions of the new functions and some other functions/structures
used for the routing table manipulation to a separate header file,
net/route/route_ctl.h. net/route.h is a frequently used file included in
~140 places in kernel, and 90% of the users don't need these definitions.
