Add the value '2' to 'fib_notify_on_flag_change' to allow sending
notifications only for failed route installation.
Separate value is added for such notifications because there are less of
them, so they do not impact performance and some users will find them more
important.

After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an
acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel,
but not necessarily in hardware.
The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead
to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in
hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the
route is installed in hardware.
It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change
its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is
trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following
the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel.
Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags
are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space
(e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware.
Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior.
Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several
reasons:
- Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing
routing daemons.
- Convergence reasons in routing daemons.
- The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate.
- Not all users are interested in these notifications.
Move fib6_info_hw_flags_set() to C file because it is no longer a short
function.

For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change
metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can
be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used.
Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6
similar to IPv4. This patch adds sysctl for the same.
Logs:
For IPv4:
Config in etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
metric 4261413864
IPv4 Kernel Route Table:
$ ip route list
default via 172.21.47.1 dev eth0 metric 4261413864
FRR Table, if a static route is configured:
[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over DHCPv4 default route.]
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP,
O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
> - selected route, * - FIB route
S>* 0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:03
K 0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m
i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4.
Similar behavior is not possible for IPv6, without this fix.
After fix [for IPv6]:
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489705
IP monitor: [When IPv6 RA is received]
default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705 pref high
Kernel IPv6 routing table
$ ip -6 route list
default via fe80::be16:65ff:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705 expires 21sec hoplimit 64 pref high
FRR Table, if a static route is configured:
[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over IPv6 RA default route.]
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIPng,
O - OSPFv3, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, N - NHRP, T - Table,
v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
> - selected route, * - FIB route
S>* ::/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:06
K ::/0 [119/1001] via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e, eth0, 6d07h43m
If the metric is changed later, the effect will be seen only when next IPv6
RA is received, because the default route must be fully controlled by RA msg.
Below metric is changed from 1996489705 to 1996489704.
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489704
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric = 1996489704
IP monitor:
[On next IPv6 RA msg, Kernel deletes prev route and installs new route with updated metric]
Deleted default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705 expires 3sec hoplimit 64 pref high
default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489704 pref high

Introduced in 0eeb075fad73, the "ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl
ignores a route whose interface is down. It is provided as a
per-interface sysctl. However, while a "all" variant is exposed, it
was a noop since it was never evaluated. We use the usual "or" logic
for this kind of sysctls.
Tested with:
ip link add type veth # veth0 + veth1
ip link add type veth # veth1 + veth2
ip link set up dev veth0
ip link set up dev veth1 # link-status paired with veth0
ip link set up dev veth2
ip link set up dev veth3 # link-status paired with veth2
# First available path
ip -4 addr add 203.0.113.${uts#H}/24 dev veth0
ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:1::${uts#H}/64 dev veth0
# Second available path
ip -4 addr add 192.0.2.${uts#H}/24 dev veth2
ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:2::${uts#H}/64 dev veth2
# More specific route through first path
ip -4 route add 198.51.100.0/25 via 203.0.113.254 # via veth0
ip -6 route add 2001:db8:3::/56 via 2001:db8:1::ff # via veth0
# Less specific route through second path
ip -4 route add 198.51.100.0/24 via 192.0.2.254 # via veth2
ip -6 route add 2001:db8:3::/48 via 2001:db8:2::ff # via veth2
# H1: enable on "all"
# H2: enable on "veth0"
for v in ipv4 ipv6; do
case $uts in
H1)
sysctl -qw net.${v}.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown=1
;;
H2)
sysctl -qw net.${v}.conf.veth0.ignore_routes_with_linkdown=1
;;
esac
done
set -xe
# When veth0 is up, best route is through veth0
ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth0
ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth0
# When veth0 is down, best route should be through veth2 on H1/H2,
# but on veth0 on H2
ip link set down dev veth1 # down veth0
ip route show
[ $uts != H3 ] || ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth0
[ $uts != H3 ] || ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth0
[ $uts = H3 ] || ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth2
[ $uts = H3 ] || ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth2
Without this patch, the two last lines would fail on H1 (the one using
the "all" sysctl). With the patch, everything succeeds as expected.
Also document the sysctl in `ip-sysctl.rst`.

This patch is to enable udp tunneling socks by calling
sctp_udp_sock_start() in sctp_ctrlsock_init(), and
sctp_udp_sock_stop() in sctp_ctrlsock_exit().
Also add sysctl udp_port to allow changing the listening
sock's port by users.
Wit this patch, the whole sctp over udp feature can be
enabled and used.
v1->v2:
- Also update ctl_sock udp_port in proc_sctp_do_udp_port()
where netns udp_port gets changed.
v2->v3:
- Call htons() when setting sk udp_port from netns udp_port.
v3->v4:
- Not call sctp_udp_sock_start() when new_value is 0.
- Add udp_port entry in ip-sysctl.rst.
v4->v5:
- Not call sctp_udp_sock_start/stop() in sctp_ctrlsock_init/exit().
- Improve the description of udp_port in ip-sysctl.rst.

encap_port is added as per netns/sock/assoc/transport, and the
latter one's encap_port inherits the former one's by default.
The transport's encap_port value would mostly decide if one
packet should go out with udp encapsulated or not.
This patch also allows users to set netns' encap_port by sysctl.
v1->v2:
- Change to define encap_port as __be16 for sctp_sock, asoc and
transport.
v2->v3:
- No change.
v3->v4:
- Add 'encap_port' entry in ip-sysctl.rst.
v4->v5:
- Improve the description of encap_port in ip-sysctl.rst.

Keyu Man reported that the ICMP rate limiter could be used
by attackers to get useful signal. Details will be provided
in an upcoming academic publication.
Our solution is to add some noise, so that the attackers
no longer can get help from the predictable token bucket limiter.

Implement the upcoming rev of RFC4941 (IPv6 temporary addresses):
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-09
* Reduces the default Valid Lifetime to 2 days
The number of extra addresses employed when Valid Lifetime was
7 days exacerbated the stress caused on network
elements/devices. Additionally, the motivation for temporary
addresses is indeed privacy and reduced exposure. With a
default Valid Lifetime of 7 days, an address that becomes
revealed by active communication is reachable and exposed for
one whole week. The only use case for a Valid Lifetime of 7
days could be some application that is expecting to have long
lived connections. But if you want to have a long lived
connections, you shouldn't be using a temporary address in the
first place. Additionally, in the era of mobile devices, general
applications should nevertheless be prepared and robust to
address changes (e.g. nodes swap wifi <-> 4G, etc.)
* Employs different IIDs for different prefixes
To avoid network activity correlation among addresses configured
for different prefixes
* Uses a simpler algorithm for IID generation
No need to store "history" anywhere
