Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Allow the creation of nexthop groups which reference other nexthop
objects to create multipath routes:
+--------------+
+------------+ +--------------+ |
| nh nh_grp --->| nh_grp_entry |-+
+------------+ +---------|----+
^ | | +------------+
+----------------+ +--->| nh, weight |
nh_parent +------------+
A group entry points to a nexthop with a weight for that hop within the
group. The nexthop has a list_head, grp_list, for tracking which groups
it is a member of and the group entry has a reference back to the parent.
The grp_list is used when a nexthop is deleted - to efficiently remove
it from groups using it.
If a nexthop group spec is given, no other attributes can be set. Each
nexthop id in a group spec must already exist.
Similar to single nexthops, the specification of a nexthop group can be
updated so that data is managed with rcu locking.
Add path selection function to account for multiple paths and add
ipv{4,6}_good_nh helpers to know that if a neighbor entry exists it is
in a good state.
Update NETDEV event handling to rebalance multipath nexthop groups if
a nexthop is deleted due to a link event (down or unregister).
When a nexthop is removed any groups using it are updated. Groups using a
nexthop a tracked via a grp_list.
Nexthop dumps can be limited to groups only by adding NHA_GROUPS to the
request.

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.
