Currently the only way to clear the forwarding cache was to delete the
entries one by one using the MRT_DEL_MFC socket option or to destroy and
recreate the socket.

Create a new socket option which with the use of optional flags can
clear any combination of multicast entries (static or not static) and
multicast vifs (static or not static).

Calling the new socket option MRT_FLUSH with the flags MRT_FLUSH_MFC and
MRT_FLUSH_VIFS will clear all entries and vifs on the socket except for
static entries.

Now that we have a dedicated NDO for getting a port's parent ID, get rid
of SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID and convert all callers to use the
NDO exclusively. This is a preliminary change to getting rid of
switchdev_ops eventually.

<title>net: Introduce ndo_get_port_parent_id()</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation for getting rid of switchdev_ops, create a dedicated NDO
operation for getting the port's parent identifier. There are
essentially two classes of drivers that need to implement getting the
port's parent ID which are VF/PF drivers with a built-in switch, and
pure switchdev drivers such as mlxsw, ocelot, dsa etc.

We introduce a helper function: dev_get_port_parent_id() which supports
recursion into the lower devices to obtain the first port's parent ID.

Convert the bridge, core and ipv4 multicast routing code to check for
such ndo_get_port_parent_id() and call the helper function when valid
before falling back to switchdev_port_attr_get(). This will allow us to
convert all relevant drivers in one go instead of having to implement
both switchdev_port_attr_get() and ndo_get_port_parent_id() operations,
then get rid of switchdev_port_attr_get().

<title>ipv4: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerability</title>

vr.vifi is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

net/ipv4/ipmr.c:1616 ipmr_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'mrt-&gt;vif_table' [r] (local cap)
net/ipv4/ipmr.c:1690 ipmr_compat_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'mrt-&gt;vif_table' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing vr.vifi before using it to index mrt-&gt;vif_table'

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_open().

Therefore extend dev_open() with and extra extack argument and update
all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but bond and
team drivers have the extack readily available.

<content type='text'>
Commit abf4bb6b63d0 ("skbuff: Add the offload_mr_fwd_mark field") added
the 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' field to indicate that a packet has already
undergone L3 multicast routing by a capable device. The field is used to
prevent the kernel from forwarding a packet through a netdev through
which the device has already forwarded the packet.

Currently, no unicast packet is routed by both the device and the
kernel, but this is about to change by subsequent patches and we need to
be able to mark such packets, so that they will no be forwarded twice.

Instead of adding yet another field to 'struct sk_buff', we can just
rename 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' to 'offload_l3_fwd_mark', as a packet
either has a multicast or a unicast destination IP.

While at it, add a comment about both 'offload_fwd_mark' and
'offload_l3_fwd_mark'.

When doing a route dump across all address families, do not error out
if the table does not exist. This allows a route dump for AF_UNSPEC
with a table id that may only exist for some of the families.

Do return the table does not exist error if dumping routes for a
specific family and the table does not exist.
