In the future the ipv4/ipv6 route gateway will take on two types
of values:
1) INADDR_ANY/IN6ADDR_ANY, for local network routes, and in this case
the neighbour must be obtained using the destination address in
ipv4/ipv6 header as the lookup key.
2) Everything else, the actual nexthop route address.
So if the gateway is not inaddr-any we use it, otherwise we must use
the packet's destination address.

Commit 2c8cec5c10 (ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer)
removed IP route cache garbage collector a bit too soon, as this gc was

As pointed out by Robert Gladewitz, recent kernels can fill and exhaust

Reintroduce the garbage collection, since we'll have to wait our

If ipv4_valdiate_peer() fails during a cached entry lookup,

Letting this be handled as a failure is just bogus, so just make it

later if inetpeer becomes ns aware.
Cache information for one inerpeer is valid as long as its

As rt_iif represents input device even for packets

it was fl.iif in 2.6.38, so better to change the checks at
some places to save CPU cycles and to restore 2.6.38 semantics.
compare_keys:
- input routes: only rt_route_iif matters, rt_iif is same

used for matching in __ip_route_output_key

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the

MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)
Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.
For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence

We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and
memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform
output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key().
Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for
output route lookups in this context, specifically:
FIB rules matching cares about:
dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark
FIB trie lookup cares about:
dst
FIB semantic match cares about:
tos, scope, oif
Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the
memset entirely.
On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route
lookup path.
Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output
route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use.
So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the
final flow key.

The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.
This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.
Learned PMTU information self-expires.
This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.
As a consequence:
1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.
A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
situations.
2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
necessary at all.

If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly
propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example
PMTU information and redirects.
The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would
be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of
sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc.
Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer
entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics
and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry.
If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this
information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that
cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry.
The facilities implemented here handle this problem.
First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any
kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any
time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path
information, we bump that generation ID.
The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event
is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one
stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached
to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now
that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the
route's generation ID too.
This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in
the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached
route information in order to maintain this information.
At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the
later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers.

Like metrics, the ICMP rate limiting bits are cached state about
a destination. So move it into the inet_peer entries.
If an inet_peer cannot be bound (the reason is memory allocation
failure or similar), the policy is to allow.

Always lookup to see if we have an existing inetpeer entry for
a route. Let FLOWI_FLAG_PRECOW_METRICS merely influence the
"create" argument to rt_bind_peer().
Also, call rt_bind_peer() unconditionally since it is not
possible for rt->peer to be non-NULL at this point.

Both fib_trie and fib_hash have a local implementation of
fib_table_select_default(). This is completely unnecessary
code duplication.
Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib
alias list of the default route, we can implement one single
generic version of this routine.
Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression
that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in
the table for the default route. The truth is, it isn't, the
insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero
prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all
keys in a hash table must be unique.
