      mlxsw: spectrum_router: Don't reflect LINKDOWN nexthops · df6dd79b
      Ido Schimmel authored
      The kernel resolves the nexthops for a given route using
      FIB_LOOKUP_IGNORE_LINKSTATE which means a notification can be sent for a
      route with one of its nexthops being LINKDOWN.
      
      In case IGNORE_ROUTES_WITH_LINKDOWN is set for the nexthop netdev, then
      we shouldn't reflect the nexthop to the device's table.
      
      Once the nexthop netdev's carrier goes up we'll be notified using NH_ADD
      and reflect it to the device.

      ====================
      mlxsw: Reflect nexthop status changes
      
      Ido says:
      
      When the kernel forwards IPv4 packets via multipath routes it doesn't
      consider nexthops that are dead or linkdown. For example, if the nexthop
      netdev is administratively down or doesn't have a carrier.
      
      Devices capable of offloading such multipath routes need to be made
      aware of changes in the reflected nexthops' status. Otherwise, the
      device might forward packets via non-functional nexthops, resulting in
      packet loss. This patchset aims to fix that.
      
      The first 11 patches deal with the necessary restructuring in the
      mlxsw driver, so that it's able to correctly add and remove nexthops
      from the device's adjacency table.
      
      The 12th patch adds the NH_{ADD,DEL} events to the FIB notification
      chain. These notifications are sent whenever the kernel decides to add
      or remove a nexthop from the forwarding plane.
      
      Finally, the last three patches add support for these events in the
      mlxsw driver, which is currently the only driver capable of offloading
      multipath routes.
