Stefano Brivio ee28906fd7 ipv4: Dump route exceptions if requested 
Since commit 4895c771c7 ("ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions."), cached
exception routes are stored as a separate entity, so they are not dumped
on a FIB dump, even if the RTM_F_CLONED flag is passed.

This implies that the command 'ip route list cache' doesn't return any
result anymore.

If the RTM_F_CLONED is passed, and strict checking requested, retrieve
nexthop exception routes and dump them. If no strict checking is
requested, filtering can't be performed consistently: dump everything in
that case.

With this, we need to add an argument to the netlink callback in order to
track how many entries were already dumped for the last leaf included in
a partial netlink dump.

A single additional argument is sufficient, even if we traverse logically
nested structures (nexthop objects, hash table buckets, bucket chains): it
doesn't matter if we stop in the middle of any of those, because they are
always traversed the same way. As an example, s_i values in [], s_fa
values in ():

  node (fa) #1 [1]
    nexthop #1
    bucket #1 -> #0 in chain (1)
    bucket #2 -> #0 in chain (2) -> #1 in chain (3) -> #2 in chain (4)
    bucket #3 -> #0 in chain (5) -> #1 in chain (6)

    nexthop #2
    bucket #1 -> #0 in chain (7) -> #1 in chain (8)
    bucket #2 -> #0 in chain (9)
  --
  node (fa) #2 [2]
    nexthop #1
    bucket #1 -> #0 in chain (1) -> #1 in chain (2)
    bucket #2 -> #0 in chain (3)

it doesn't matter if we stop at (3), (4), (7) for "node #1", or at (2)
for "node #2": walking flattens all that.

It would even be possible to drop the distinction between the in-tree
(s_i) and in-node (s_fa) counter, but a further improvement might
advise against this. This is only as accurate as the existing tracking
mechanism for leaves: if a partial dump is restarted after exceptions
are removed or expired, we might skip some non-dumped entries.

To improve this, we could attach a 'sernum' attribute (similar to the
one used for IPv6) to nexthop entities, and bump this counter whenever
exceptions change: having a distinction between the two counters would
make this more convenient.

Listing of exception routes (modified routes pre-3.5) was tested against
these versions of kernel and iproute2:

                    iproute2
kernel         4.14.0   4.15.0   4.19.0   5.0.0   5.1.0
 3.5-rc4         +        +        +        +       +
 4.4
 4.9
 4.14
 4.15
 4.19
 5.0
 5.1
 fixed           +        +        +        +       +

v7:
   - Move loop over nexthop objects to route.c, and pass struct fib_info
     and table ID to it, not a struct fib_alias (suggested by David Ahern)
   - While at it, note that the NULL check on fa->fa_info is redundant,
     and the check on RTNH_F_DEAD is also not consistent with what's done
     with regular route listing: just keep it for nhc_flags
   - Rename entry point function for dumping exceptions to
     fib_dump_info_fnhe(), and rearrange arguments for consistency with
     fib_dump_info()
   - Rename fnhe_dump_buckets() to fnhe_dump_bucket() and make it handle
     one bucket at a time
   - Expand commit message to describe why we can have a single "skip"
     counter for all exceptions stored in bucket chains in nexthop objects
     (suggested by David Ahern)

v6:
   - Rebased onto net-next
   - Loop over nexthop paths too. Move loop over fnhe buckets to route.c,
     avoids need to export rt_fill_info() and to touch exceptions from
     fib_trie.c. Pass NULL as flow to rt_fill_info(), it now allows that
     (suggested by David Ahern)

README 

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.
