2019-10-04	net: fib_notifier: propagate extack down to the notifier block callback	Jiri Pirko	1	-3/+4
	Since errors are propagated all the way up to the caller, propagate possible extack of the caller all the way down to the notifier block callback. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-10-04	net: fib_notifier: make FIB notifier per-netns	Jiri Pirko	1	-2/+2
	Currently all users of FIB notifier only cares about events in init_net. Later in this patchset, users get interested in other namespaces too. However, for every registered block user is interested only about one namespace. Make the FIB notifier registration per-netns and avoid unnecessary calls of notifier block for other namespaces.

2017-09-01	net: Add module reference to FIB notifiers	Ido Schimmel	1	-0/+2
	When a listener registers to the FIB notification chain it receives a dump of the FIB entries and rules from existing address families by invoking their dump operations. While we call into these modules we need to make sure they aren't removed. Do that by increasing their reference count before invoking their dump operations and decrease it afterwards.

2017-08-03	ipv6: fib: Dump tables during registration to FIB chain	Ido Schimmel	1	-2/+8
	Dump all the FIB tables in each net namespace upon registration to the FIB notification chain so that the callee will have a complete view of the tables. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-table sequence counter that is incremented (under write lock) whenever a route is added or deleted from the table. All the sequence counters are read (under each table's read lock) and summed, prior and after the dump. In case the counters differ, then the dump is either restarted or the registration fails. While it's possible for a table to be modified after its counter has been read, this isn't really a problem. In case it happened before it was read the second time, then the comparison at the end will fail. If it happened afterwards, then we're guaranteed to be notified about the change, as the notification block is registered prior to the second read.

2017-08-03	ipv6: fib_rules: Dump rules during registration to FIB chain	Ido Schimmel	1	-2/+2
	Allow users of the FIB notification chain to receive a complete view of the IPv6 FIB rules upon registration to the chain. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-family sequence counter that is incremented (under RTNL) whenever a rule is added or deleted. All the sequence counters are read (under RTNL) and summed, prior and after the dump. In case the counters differ, then the dump is either restarted or the registration fails.

2017-08-03	ipv6: fib: Add FIB notifiers callbacks	Ido Schimmel	1	-0/+55
	We're about to add IPv6 FIB offload support, so implement the necessary callbacks in IPv6 code, which will later allow us to add routes and rules notifications.
