Dissect flow in fwd path if fib rules require it. Controlled by
a flag to avoid penatly for the common case. Flag is set when fib
rules with sport, dport and proto match that require flow dissect
are installed. Also passes the dissected hash keys to the multipath
hash function when applicable to avoid dissecting the flow again.
icmp packets will continue to use inner header for hash
calculations (Thanks to Nikolay Aleksandrov for some review here).

<title>net: fib_rules: Implement notification logic in core</title>

<content type='text'>
Unlike the routing tables, the FIB rules share a common core, so instead
of replicating the same logic for each address family we can simply dump
the rules and send notifications from the core itself.

To protect the integrity of the dump, a rules-specific sequence counter
is added for each address family and incremented whenever a rule is
added or deleted (under RTNL).

<title>net: core: Make the FIB notification chain generic</title>

<content type='text'>
The FIB notification chain is currently soley used by IPv4 code.
However, we're going to introduce IPv6 FIB offload support, which
requires these notification as well.

As explained in commit c3852ef7f2f8 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when
registering FIB notifier"), upon registration to the chain, the callee
receives a full dump of the FIB tables and rules by traversing all the
net namespaces. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-namespace
sequence counter that is incremented whenever a change to the tables or
rules occurs.

In order to allow more address families to use the chain, each family is
expected to register its fib_notifier_ops in its pernet init. These
operations allow the common code to read the family's sequence counter
as well as dump its tables and rules in the given net namespace.

Additionally, a 'family' parameter is added to sent notifications, so
that listeners could distinguish between the different families.

Implement the common code that allows listeners to register to the chain
and for address families to register their fib_notifier_ops. Subsequent
patches will implement these operations in IPv6.

In the future, ipmr and ip6mr will be extended to provide these
notifications as well.

<title>ipv4: fib_rules: Dump FIB rules when registering FIB notifier</title>

In commit c3852ef7f2f8 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when registering FIB
notifier") we dumped the FIB tables and replayed the events to the
passed notification block.

However, we merely sent a RULE_ADD notification in case custom rules
were in use. As explained in previous patches, this approach won't work
anymore. Instead, we should notify the caller about all the FIB rules
and let it act accordingly.

Upon registration to the FIB notification chain, replay a RULE_ADD
notification for each programmed FIB rule, custom or not. The integrity
of the dump is ensured by the mechanism introduced in the above
mentioned commit.

Prevent regressions by making sure current listeners correctly sanitize
the notified rules.

<title>ipv4: fib_rules: Add notifier info to FIB rules notifications</title>

<content type='text'>
Whenever a FIB rule is added or removed, a notification is sent in the
FIB notification chain. However, listeners don't have a way to tell
which rule was added or removed.

This is problematic as we would like to give listeners the ability to
decide which action to execute based on the notified rule. Specifically,
offloading drivers should be able to determine if they support the
reflection of the notified FIB rule and flush their LPM tables in case
they don't.

Do that by adding a notifier info to these notifications and embed the
common FIB rule struct in it.

<title>ipv4: fib_rules: Check if rule is a default rule</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3c71006d15fd3a99071a2b20d01de3edabc85767</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when non-default (custom) FIB rules are used, devices capable
of layer 3 offloading flush their tables and let the kernel do the
forwarding instead.

When these devices' drivers are loaded they register to the FIB
notification chain, which lets them know about the existence of any
custom FIB rules. This is done by sending a RULE_ADD notification based
on the value of 'net-&gt;ipv4.fib_has_custom_rules'.

This approach is problematic when VRF offload is taken into account, as
upon the creation of the first VRF netdev, a l3mdev rule is programmed
to direct skbs to the VRF's table.

Instead of merely reading the above value and sending a single RULE_ADD
notification, we should iterate over all the FIB rules and send a
detailed notification for each, thereby allowing offloading drivers to
sanitize the rules they don't support and potentially flush their
tables.

While l3mdev rules are uniquely marked, the default rules are not.
Therefore, when they are being notified they might invoke offloading
drivers to unnecessarily flush their tables.

Solve this by adding an helper to check if a FIB rule is a default rule.
Namely, its selector should match all packets and its action should
point to the local, main or default tables.

As noted by David Ahern, uniquely marking the default rules is
insufficient. When using VRFs, it's common to avoid false hits by moving
the rule for the local table to just before the main table:

Default configuration:
$ ip rule show
0:      from all lookup local
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

Common configuration with VRFs:
$ ip rule show
1000:   from all lookup [l3mdev-table]
32765:  from all lookup local
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

We always pass the same event type to fib_notify() and
fib_rules_notify(), so we can safely drop this argument.
