Add 'struct nexthop' and nh_list list_head to fib_info. nh_list is the fib_info side of the nexthop <-> fib_info relationship. Add fi_list list_head to 'struct nexthop' to track fib_info entries using a nexthop instance. Add __remove_nexthop_fib and add it to __remove_nexthop to walk the new list_head and mark those fib entries as dead when the nexthop is deleted. Add a few nexthop helpers for use when a nexthop is added to fib_info: - nexthop_cmp to determine if 2 nexthops are the same - nexthop_path_fib_result to select a path for a multipath 'struct nexthop' - nexthop_fib_nhc to select a specific fib_nh_common within a multipath 'struct nexthop' Update existing fib_info_nhc to use nexthop_fib_nhc if a fib_info uses a 'struct nexthop', and mark fib_info_nh as only used for the non-nexthop case. Update the fib_info functions to check for fi->nh and take a different path as needed: - free_fib_info_rcu - put the nexthop object reference - fib_release_info - remove the fib_info from the nexthop's fi_list - nh_comp - use nexthop_cmp when either fib_info references a nexthop object - fib_info_hashfn - use the nexthop id for the hashing vs the oif of each fib_nh in a fib_info - fib_nlmsg_size - add space for the RTA_NH_ID attribute - fib_create_info - verify nexthop reference can be taken, verify nexthop spec is valid for fib entry, and add fib_info to fi_list for a nexthop - fib_select_multipath - use the new nexthop_path_fib_result to select a path when nexthop objects are used - fib_table_lookup - if the 'struct nexthop' is a blackhole nexthop, treat it the same as a fib entry using 'blackhole' The bulk of the changes are in fib_semantics.c and most of that is moving the existing change_nexthops into an else branch. Update the nexthop code to walk fi_list on a nexthop deleted to remove fib entries referencing it. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
