mlxsw: spectrum_router: Add extack messages for RIF and VRF overflow
Currently, exceeding the number of VRF instances or the number of router
interfaces either fails with a non-intuitive EBUSY:
$ ip li set swp1s1.6 vrf vrf-1s1-6 up
RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy
or fails silently (IPv6) since the checks are done in a work queue. This
set adds support for the address validator notifier to spectrum which
allows ext-ack based messages to be returned on failure.
To make that happen the IPv6 version needs to be converted from atomic
to blocking (patch 2), and then support for extack needs to be added
to the notifier (patch 3). Patch 1 reworks the locking in ipv6_add_addr
to work better in the atomic and non-atomic code paths. Patches 4 and 5
add the validator notifier to spectrum and then plumb the extack argument
through spectrum_router.
With this set, VRF overflows fail with:
$ ip li set swp1s1.6 vrf vrf-1s1-6 up
Error: spectrum: Exceeded number of supported VRF.
and RIF overflows fail with:
$ ip addr add dev swp1s2.191 10.12.191.1/24
Error: spectrum: Exceeded number of supported router interfaces.
v2 -> v3
- fix surround context of patch 4 which was altered by c30f5d012edf
v1 -> v2
- fix error path in ipv6_add_addr: reset rt to NULL (Ido comment) and
add in6_dev_put on ifa once the hold has been done
RFC -> v1
- addressed various comments from Ido
- refactored ipv6_add_addr to allow ifa's to be allocated with
GFP_KERNEL as requested by DaveM

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
