ipv4: Dump route exceptions if requested
Since commit 4895c771 ("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) Fixes: 4895c771 ("ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions.") Signed-off-by:Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:
