<content type='text'>
Implement support for processing the IOAM Pre-allocated Trace with IPv6,
see [1] and [2]. Introduce a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop TLV option, see IANA [3].

A new per-interface sysctl is introduced. The value is a boolean to accept (=1)
or ignore (=0, by default) IPv6 IOAM options on ingress for an interface:
 - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_enabled

Two other sysctls are introduced to define IOAM IDs, represented by an integer.
They are respectively per-namespace and per-interface:
 - net.ipv6.ioam6_id
 - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id

The value of the first one represents the IOAM ID of the node itself (u32; max
and default value = U32_MAX&gt;&gt;8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the other
represents the IOAM ID of an interface (u16; max and default value = U16_MAX).

Each "ioam6_id" sysctl has a "_wide" equivalent:
 - net.ipv6.ioam6_id_wide
 - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide

The value of the first one represents the wide IOAM ID of the node itself (u64;
max and default value = U64_MAX&gt;&gt;8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the
other represents the wide IOAM ID of an interface (u32; max and default value
= U32_MAX).

The use of short and wide equivalents is not exclusive, a deployment could
choose to leverage both. For example, net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id (short format)
could be an identifier for a physical interface, whereas
net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide (wide format) could be an identifier for a
logical sub-interface. Documentation about new sysctls is provided at the end
of this patchset.

Two relativistic hash tables are used: one for IOAM namespaces, the other for
IOAM schemas. A namespace can only have a single active schema and a schema
can only be attached to a single namespace (1:1 relationship).

<title>ipv6: Add a sysctl to control multipath hash fields</title>

<id>ed13923f980ef84dde0b9010b9e09052dc31a909</id>
<content type='text'>
A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet
fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space.
This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields.

The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between
IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both
protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple:

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037
 net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037

To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the
'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields.

The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example:

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000
 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument

<title>net: ipv6: Emit notification when fib hardware flags are changed</title>

After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an
acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel,
but not necessarily in hardware.

The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead
to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in
hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the
route is installed in hardware.

It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change
its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is
trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following
the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel.

Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags
are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space
(e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware.

Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior.

Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several
reasons:
- Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing
  routing daemons.
- Convergence reasons in routing daemons.
- The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate.
- Not all users are interested in these notifications.

Move fib6_info_hw_flags_set() to C file because it is no longer a short
function.

Use a per namespace counter, increment it on successful creation
of any route using the source address, decrement it on deletion
of such routes.

This allows us to check easily if the routing decision in the
current namespace depends on the packet source. Will be used
by the next patch.
