Eric noticed that __ipv6_ifa_notify is called under rcu_read_lock, so
the gfp argument to addrconf_prefix_route can not be GFP_KERNEL.
While scrubbing other calls I noticed addrconf_addr_gen has one
place with GFP_ATOMIC that can be GFP_KERNEL.

The RTN_ type for IPv6 FIB entries is currently embedded in rt6i_flags
and dst.error. Since dst is going to be removed, it can no longer be
relied on for FIB dumps so save the route type as fib6_type.
fc_type is set in current users based on the algorithm in rt6_fill_node:
- rt6i_flags contains RTF_LOCAL: fc_type = RTN_LOCAL
- rt6i_flags contains RTF_ANYCAST: fc_type = RTN_ANYCAST
- else fc_type = RTN_UNICAST
Similarly, fib6_type is set in the rt6_info templates based on the
RTF_REJECT section of rt6_fill_node converting dst.error to RTN type.

Send a netlink notification when userspace adds a manually configured
address if DAD is enabled and optimistic flag isn't set.
Moreover send RTM_DELADDR notifications for tentative addresses.
Some userspace applications (e.g. NetworkManager) are interested in
addr netlink events albeit the address is still in tentative state,
however events are not sent if DAD process is not completed.
If the address is added and immediately removed userspace listeners
are not notified. This behaviour can be easily reproduced by using
veth interfaces:
$ ip -b - <<EOF

ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags determines if an address is a local address and
optionally if it is an address on a specific device. For example, it is
called by ip6_route_info_create to determine if a given gateway address
is a local address. The address check currently does not consider L3
domains and as a result does not allow a route to be added in one VRF
if the nexthop points to an address in a second VRF. e.g.,
$ ip route add 2001:db8:1::/64 vrf r2 via 2001:db8:102::23
Error: Invalid gateway address.
where 2001:db8:102::23 is an address on an interface in vrf r1.
ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags needs to allow callers to always pass in a device
with a separate argument to not limit the address to the specific device.
The device is used used to determine the L3 domain of interest.
To that end add an argument to skip the device check and update callers
to always pass a device where possible and use the new argument to mean
any address in the domain.
Update a handful of users of ipv6_chk_addr with a NULL dev argument. This
patch handles the change to these callers without adding the domain check.
ip6_validate_gw needs to handle 2 cases - one where the device is given
as part of the nexthop spec and the other where the device is resolved.
There is at least 1 VRF case where deferring the check to only after
the route lookup has resolved the device fails with an unintuitive error
"RTNETLINK answers: No route to host" as opposed to the preferred
"Error: Gateway can not be a local address." The 'no route to host'
error is because of the fallback to a full lookup. The check is done
twice to avoid this error.

According to RFC 4429 (section 3.1), adding new IPv6 addresses as
optimistic addresses is acceptable, as long as the implementation
follows some rules:
* Optimistic DAD SHOULD only be used when the implementation is aware
that the address is based on a most likely unique interface
identifier (such as in [RFC2464]), generated randomly [RFC3041],
or by a well-distributed hash function [RFC3972] or assigned by
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) [RFC3315].
Optimistic DAD SHOULD NOT be used for manually entered
addresses.
Thus, it seems reasonable to allow userspace to set the optimistic flag
when adding new addresses.
We must not let userspace set NODAD + OPTIMISTIC, since if the kernel is
not performing DAD we would never clear the optimistic flag. We must
also ignore userspace's request to add OPTIMISTIC flag to addresses that
have already completed DAD (addresses that don't have the TENTATIVE
flag, or that have the DADFAILED flag).
Then we also need to clear the OPTIMISTIC flag on permanent addresses
when DAD fails. Otherwise, IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC addresses added by userspace
can still be used after DAD has failed, because in
ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags(), IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC overrides IFA_F_TENTATIVE.
Setting IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC from userspace is conditional on
CONFIG_IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD and the optimistic_dad sysctl.

Similar to IPv4, when the carrier of a netdev changes we should toggle
the 'linkdown' flag on all the nexthops using it as their nexthop
device.
This will later allow us to test for the presence of this flag during
route lookup and dump.
Up until commit 4832c30d5458 ("net: ipv6: put host and anycast routes on
device with address") host and anycast routes used the loopback netdev
as their nexthop device and thus were not marked with the 'linkdown'
flag. The patch preserves this behavior and allows one to ping the local
address even when the nexthop device does not have a carrier and the
'ignore_routes_with_linkdown' sysctl is set.

To make IPv6 more in line with IPv4 we need to be able to respond
differently to different netdev events. For example, when a netdev is
unregistered all the routes using it as their nexthop device should be
flushed, whereas when the netdev's carrier changes only the 'linkdown'
flag should be toggled.
Currently, this is not possible, as the function that traverses the
routing tables is not aware of the triggering event.
Propagate the triggering event down, so that it could be used in later
patches.

With commits 35e015e1f577 and a2d3f3e33853, the global 'accept_dad' flag
is also taken into account (default value is 1). If either global or
per-interface flag is non-zero, DAD will be enabled on a given interface.
This is not backward compatible: before those patches, the user could
disable DAD just by setting the per-interface flag to 0. Now, the
user instead needs to set both flags to 0 to actually disable DAD.
Restore the previous behaviour by setting the default for the global
'accept_dad' flag to 0. This way, DAD is still enabled by default,
as per-interface flags are set to 1 on device creation, but setting
them to 0 is enough to disable DAD on a given interface.

Add a per-device sysctl to specify the default traffic class to use for
kernel originated IPv6 Neighbour Discovery packets.
Currently this includes:
- Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133)
ndisc_send_rs() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()
- Neighbour Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135)
ndisc_send_ns() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()
- Neighbour Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136)
ndisc_send_na() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()
- Redirect (ICMPv6 type 137)
ndisc_send_redirect() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()
and if the kernel ever gets around to generating RA's,
it would presumably also include:
- Router Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 134)
(radvd daemon could pick up on the kernel setting and use it)
Interface drivers may examine the Traffic Class value and translate
the DiffServ Code Point into a link-layer appropriate traffic
prioritization scheme. An example of mapping IETF DSCP values to
IEEE 802.11 User Priority values can be found here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-ieee-802-11
The expected primary use case is to properly prioritize ND over wifi.

inet6addr_validator chain was added by commit 3ad7d2468f79f ("Ipvlan

address validation before changes are committed and to be able to
fail the address change with an error back to the user. The address
validation is not done for addresses received from router
advertisements.
Handling RAs in softirq context is the only reason for the notifier
chain to be atomic versus blocking. Since the only current user, ipvlan,
of the validator chain ignores softirq context, the notifier can be made
blocking and simply not invoked for softirq path.
The blocking option is needed by spectrum for example to validate

ipv6_add_addr is called in process context with rtnl lock held
(e.g., manual config of an address) or during softirq processing
(e.g., autoconf and address from a router advertisement).
Currently, ipv6_add_addr calls rcu_read_lock_bh shortly after entry
and does not call unlock until exit, minus the call around the address
validator notifier. Similarly, addrconf_hash_lock is taken after the
validator notifier and held until exit. This forces the allocation of
inet6_ifaddr to always be atomic.
Refactor ipv6_add_addr as follows:
1. add an input boolean to discriminate the call path (process context
or softirq). This new flag controls whether the alloc can be done
with GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC.
2. Move the rcu_read_lock_bh and unlock calls only around functions that
do rcu updates.
3. Remove the in6_dev_hold and put added by 3ad7d2468f79f ("Ipvlan should
return an error when an address is already in use."). This was done
presumably because rcu_read_unlock_bh needs to be called before calling
the validator. Since rcu_read_lock is not needed before the validator
runs revert the hold and put added by 3ad7d2468f79f and only do the
hold when setting ifp->idev.
4. move duplicate address check and insertion of new address in the global
address hash into a helper. The helper is called after an ifa is
allocated and filled in.
This allows the ifa for manually configured addresses to be done with
GFP_KERNEL and reduces the overall amount of time with rcu_read_lock held
and hash table spinlock held.
