Andrey Konovalov reported crashes in ipv4_mtu()

I could reproduce the issue with KASAN kernels, between
10.246.7.151 and 10.246.7.152 :

1) 20 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -H 10.246.7.152 -l 1000 &amp;

2) At the same time run following loop :
while :
do
 ip ro add 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500
 ip ro del 10.246.7.152 dev eth0 src 10.246.7.151 mtu 1500
done

Cong Wang attempted to add back rt-&gt;fi in commit
82486aa6f1b9 ("ipv4: restore rt-&gt;fi for reference counting")
but this proved to add some issues that were complex to solve.

Instead, I suggested to add a refcount to the metrics themselves,
being a standalone object (in particular, no reference to other objects)

I tried to make this patch as small as possible to ease its backport,
instead of being super clean. Note that we believe that only ipv4 dst
need to take care of the metric refcount. But if this is wrong,
this patch adds the basic infrastructure to extend this to other
families.

Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for reviewing this patch, and Cong Wang
for his efforts on this problem.

<title>net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choice</title>

<id>bf4e0a3db97eb882368fd82980b3b1fa0b5b9778</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for ECMP hash policy choice via a new sysctl
called fib_multipath_hash_policy and also adds support for L4 hashes.
The current values for fib_multipath_hash_policy are:
 0 - layer 3 (default)
 1 - layer 4
If there's an skb hash already set and it matches the chosen policy then it
will be used instead of being calculated (currently only for L4).
In L3 mode we always calculate the hash due to the ICMP error special
case, the flow dissector's field consistentification should handle the
address order thus we can remove the address reversals.
If the skb is provided we always use it for the hash calculation,
otherwise we fallback to fl4, that is if skb is NULL fl4 has to be set.

<title>ipv4: fib: Notify about nexthop status changes</title>

When a multipath route is hit the kernel doesn't consider nexthops that
are DEAD or LINKDOWN when IN_DEV_IGNORE_ROUTES_WITH_LINKDOWN is set.
Devices that offload multipath routes need to be made aware of nexthop
status changes. Otherwise, the device will keep forwarding packets to
non-functional nexthops.

Add the FIB_EVENT_NH_{ADD,DEL} events to the fib notification chain,
which notify capable devices when they should add or delete a nexthop
from their tables.

<title>net: ipv4: Fix multipath selection with vrf</title>

fib_select_path does not call fib_select_multipath if oif is set in the
flow struct. For VRF use cases oif is always set, so multipath route
selection is bypassed. Use the FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF to skip the oif
check similar to what is done in fib_table_lookup.

Add saddr and proto to the flow struct for the fib lookup done by the
VRF driver to better match hash computation for a flow.
