<title>ipv4: Fix incorrect route flushing when source address is deleted</title>

Cited commit added the table ID to the FIB info structure, but did not
prevent structures with different table IDs from being consolidated.
This can lead to routes being flushed from a VRF when an address is
deleted from a different VRF.

Fix by taking the table ID into account when looking for a matching FIB
info. This is already done for FIB info structures backed by a nexthop
object in fib_find_info_nh().

Add test cases that fail before the fix:

 # ./fib_tests.sh -t ipv4_del_addr

     Regular FIB info
     TEST: Route removed from VRF when source address deleted            [ OK ]

<title>ipv4: Fix route deletion when nexthop info is not specified</title>

<id>d5082d386eee7e8ec46fa8581932c81a4961dcef</id>
<content type='text'>
When the kernel receives a route deletion request from user space it
tries to delete a route that matches the route attributes specified in
the request.

If only prefix information is specified in the request, the kernel
should delete the first matching FIB alias regardless of its associated
FIB info. However, an error is currently returned when the FIB info is
backed by a nexthop object:

 # ip nexthop add id 1 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10
 # ip route add 198.51.100.0/24 nhid 1
 # ip route del 198.51.100.0/24
 RTNETLINK answers: No such process

Fix by matching on such a FIB info when legacy nexthop attributes are
not specified in the request. An earlier check already covers the case
where a nexthop ID is specified in the request.

Add tests that cover these flows. Before the fix:

 # ./fib_nexthops.sh -t ipv4_fcnal
 ...
 TEST: Delete route when not specifying nexthop attributes           [FAIL]

 Tests passed:  11
 Tests failed:   1

After the fix:

 # ./fib_nexthops.sh -t ipv4_fcnal
 ...
 TEST: Delete route when not specifying nexthop attributes           [ OK ]

 Tests passed:  12
 Tests failed:   0

No regressions in other tests:

 # ./fib_nexthops.sh
 ...
 Tests passed: 228
 Tests failed:   0

 # ./fib_tests.sh
 ...
 Tests passed: 186
 Tests failed:   0

This reverts commit 747c14307214b55dbd8250e1ab44cad8305756f1.

As explained by Julian, nhc_scope is related to nhc_gw, not to the route.
Revert the original patch. The initial problem is fixed differently in the
next commit.

to be deleted route contains a multipath spec while the fib_info
is using a nexthop object.

When a nexthop is added, without a gw address, the default scope was set
to 'host'. Thus, when a source address is selected, 127.0.0.1 may be chosen
but rejected when the route is used.

When using a route without a nexthop id, the scope can be configured in the
route, thus the problem doesn't exist.

To explain more deeply: when a user creates a nexthop, it cannot specify
the scope. To create it, the function nh_create_ipv4() calls fib_check_nh()
with scope set to 0. fib_check_nh() calls fib_check_nh_nongw() wich was
setting scope to 'host'. Then, nh_create_ipv4() calls
fib_info_update_nhc_saddr() with scope set to 'host'. The src addr is
chosen before the route is inserted.

When a 'standard' route (ie without a reference to a nexthop) is added,
fib_create_info() calls fib_info_update_nhc_saddr() with the scope set by
the user. iproute2 set the scope to 'link' by default.

Here is a way to reproduce the problem:
ip netns add foo
ip -n foo link set lo up
ip netns add bar
ip -n bar link set lo up
sleep 1

ip -n foo link add name eth0 type dummy
ip -n foo link set eth0 up
ip -n foo address add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0

ip -n foo link add name veth0 type veth peer name veth1 netns bar
ip -n foo link set veth0 up
ip -n bar link set veth1 up

ip -n bar address add 192.168.1.1/32 dev veth1
ip -n bar route add default dev veth1

ip -n foo nexthop add id 1 dev veth0
ip -n foo route add 192.168.1.1 nhid 1

Try to get/use the route:
&gt; $ ip -n foo route get 192.168.1.1
&gt; RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
&gt; $ ip netns exec foo ping -c1 192.168.1.1
&gt; ping: connect: Invalid argument

Try without nexthop group (iproute2 sets scope to 'link' by dflt):
ip -n foo route del 192.168.1.1
ip -n foo route add 192.168.1.1 dev veth0

Try to get/use the route:
&gt; $ ip -n foo route get 192.168.1.1
&gt; 192.168.1.1 dev veth0 src 192.168.0.1 uid 0
&gt;     cache
&gt; $ ip netns exec foo ping -c1 192.168.1.1
&gt; PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
&gt; 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms

While reading nexthop_compat_mode, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.
