Currently, VRFs require 1 oif and 1 iif rule per address family per
VRF. As the number of VRF devices increases it brings scalability
issues with the increasing rule list. All of the VRF rules have the
same format with the exception of the specific table id to direct the
lookup. Since the table id is available from the oif or iif in the
loopup, the VRF rules can be consolidated to a single rule that pulls
the table from the VRF device.
This patch introduces a new rule attribute l3mdev. The l3mdev rule
means the table id used for the lookup is pulled from the L3 master
device (e.g., VRF) rather than being statically defined. With the
l3mdev rule all of the basic VRF FIB rules are reduced to 1 l3mdev
rule per address family (IPv4 and IPv6).
If an admin wishes to insert higher priority rules for specific VRFs
those rules will co-exist with the l3mdev rule. This capability means
current VRF scripts will co-exist with this new simpler implementation.
Currently, the rules list for both ipv4 and ipv6 look like this:
$ ip ru ls
1000: from all oif vrf1 lookup 1001
1000: from all iif vrf1 lookup 1001
1000: from all oif vrf2 lookup 1002
1000: from all iif vrf2 lookup 1002
1000: from all oif vrf3 lookup 1003
1000: from all iif vrf3 lookup 1003
1000: from all oif vrf4 lookup 1004
1000: from all iif vrf4 lookup 1004
1000: from all oif vrf5 lookup 1005
1000: from all iif vrf5 lookup 1005
1000: from all oif vrf6 lookup 1006
1000: from all iif vrf6 lookup 1006
1000: from all oif vrf7 lookup 1007
1000: from all iif vrf7 lookup 1007
1000: from all oif vrf8 lookup 1008
1000: from all iif vrf8 lookup 1008
...
32765: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
With the l3mdev rule the list is just the following regardless of the
number of VRFs:
$ ip ru ls
1000: from all lookup [l3mdev table]
32765: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
(Note: the above pretty print of the rule is based on an iproute2
prototype. Actual verbage may change)

nla_data() is now aligned on a 64-bit area.
A temporary version (nla_put_be64_32bit()) is added for nla_put_net64().
This function is removed in the next patch.

This add the ability to select a routing table based on the tunnel
id which allows to maintain separate routing tables for each virtual
tunnel network.
ip rule add from all tunnel-id 100 lookup 100
ip rule add from all tunnel-id 200 lookup 200
A new static key controls the collection of metadata at tunnel level
upon demand.

This change brings the suppressor attribute names into line; it also changes
the data types to provide a more consistent interface.
While -1 indicates that the suppressor is not enabled, values >= 0 for
suppress_prefixlen or suppress_ifgroup reject routing decisions violating the
constraint.
This changes the previously presented behaviour of suppress_prefixlen, where a
prefix length _less_ than the attribute value was rejected. After this change,
a prefix length less than *or* equal to the value is considered a violation of
the rule constraint.
It also changes the default values for default and newly added rules (disabling
any suppression for those).

This change adds the ability to suppress a routing decision based upon the
interface group the selected interface belongs to. This allows it to
exclude specific devices from a routing decision.

This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the
suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its
results.
The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the
structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length
>0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more
general) routing table entries will be ignored.
When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it
is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but
omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this
can be achieved by using the following command sequence:
$ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1
$ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1
$ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink
With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing
table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can
be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the
table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to
destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.
