When you replace route via ip r r command the netlink multicast message is
not send. This patch corrects it. NL message is sent with NLM_F_REPLACE
flag.

Spring cleaning time...
There seems to be a lot of places in the network code that have
extra bogus semicolons after conditionals. Most commonly is a
bogus semicolon after: switch() { }

Fixes a typo which caused fib_props[] to have the wrong size
and makes sure the value used to index the array which is
provided by userspace via netlink is checked to avoid out of
bound access.

Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event
notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug,
its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially
when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in
the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.
This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification
functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations
using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).

Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new()
instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly.
Replaces error handling of message construction functions when
constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies
a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta
prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages
for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl.
A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through
nexthop configuration arrays.
A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink
information to be used for notifications later on.

Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute
to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by
continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its
limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This
implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them
need to use RTA_TABLE.

Use u32 for routing table IDs in net/ipv4 and net/decnet in preparation of
support for a larger number of routing tables. net/ipv6 already uses u32
everywhere and needs no further changes. No functional changes are made by

Ther is no point in using a more expensive reader/writer lock
for a low contention lock like the fib_info_lock. The only
reader case is in handling route redirects.

Routing realms exist per nexthop, but are only returned to userspace
for the first nexthop. This is due to the fact that iproute2 only
allows to set the realm for the first nexthop and the kernel refuses
multipath routes where only a single realm is present.
Dump all realms for multipath routes to enable iproute to correctly
display them.

When a netlink message is not related to a netlink socket,
it is issued by kernel socket with pid 0. Netlink "pid" has nothing
to do with current->pid. I called it incorrectly, if it was named "port",
the confusion would be avoided.

To help in reducing the number of include dependencies, several files were

the patch below marks various variables const in net/; the goal is to
move them to the .rodata section so that they can't false-share
cachelines with things that get written to, as well as potentially
helping gcc a bit with optimisations. (these were found using a gcc
patch to warn about such variables)

The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.
1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().
There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition. I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.
This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
