Currently, VRFs require 1 oif and 1 iif rule per address family per
VRF. As the number of VRF devices increases it brings scalability
issues with the increasing rule list. All of the VRF rules have the
same format with the exception of the specific table id to direct the
lookup. Since the table id is available from the oif or iif in the
loopup, the VRF rules can be consolidated to a single rule that pulls
the table from the VRF device.
This patch introduces a new rule attribute l3mdev. The l3mdev rule
means the table id used for the lookup is pulled from the L3 master
device (e.g., VRF) rather than being statically defined. With the
l3mdev rule all of the basic VRF FIB rules are reduced to 1 l3mdev
rule per address family (IPv4 and IPv6).
If an admin wishes to insert higher priority rules for specific VRFs
those rules will co-exist with the l3mdev rule. This capability means
current VRF scripts will co-exist with this new simpler implementation.
Currently, the rules list for both ipv4 and ipv6 look like this:
$ ip ru ls
1000: from all oif vrf1 lookup 1001
1000: from all iif vrf1 lookup 1001
1000: from all oif vrf2 lookup 1002
1000: from all iif vrf2 lookup 1002
1000: from all oif vrf3 lookup 1003
1000: from all iif vrf3 lookup 1003
1000: from all oif vrf4 lookup 1004
1000: from all iif vrf4 lookup 1004
1000: from all oif vrf5 lookup 1005
1000: from all iif vrf5 lookup 1005
1000: from all oif vrf6 lookup 1006
1000: from all iif vrf6 lookup 1006
1000: from all oif vrf7 lookup 1007
1000: from all iif vrf7 lookup 1007
1000: from all oif vrf8 lookup 1008
1000: from all iif vrf8 lookup 1008
...
32765: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
With the l3mdev rule the list is just the following regardless of the
number of VRFs:
$ ip ru ls
1000: from all lookup [l3mdev table]
32765: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
(Note: the above pretty print of the rule is based on an iproute2
prototype. Actual verbage may change)

Allow udp and raw sockets to send by oif that is an enslaved interface
versus the l3mdev/VRF device. For example, this allows BFD to use ifindex
from IP_PKTINFO on a receive to send a response without the need to
convert to the VRF index. It also allows ping and ping6 to work when
specifying an enslaved interface (e.g., ping -I swp1 <ip>) which is
a natural use case.

Move l3mdev_rt6_dst_by_oif and l3mdev_get_saddr to l3mdev.c. Collapse
l3mdev_get_rt6_dst into l3mdev_rt6_dst_by_oif since it is the only
user and keep the l3mdev_get_rt6_dst name for consistency with other
hooks.
A follow-on patch adds more code to these functions making them long
for inlined functions.

David Lamparter noted a use case where the source address selection fails
to pick an address from a VRF interface - unnumbered interfaces.
Relevant commands from his script:
ip addr add 9.9.9.9/32 dev lo
ip link set lo up
ip link add name vrf0 type vrf table 101
ip rule add oif vrf0 table 101
ip rule add iif vrf0 table 101
ip link set vrf0 up
ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev vrf0
ip link add name dummy2 type dummy
ip link set dummy2 master vrf0 up
--> note dummy2 has no address - unnumbered device
ip route add 10.2.2.2/32 dev dummy2 table 101
ip neigh add 10.2.2.2 dev dummy2 lladdr 02:00:00:00:00:02
tcpdump -ni dummy2 &
And using ping instead of his socat example:
$ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf0.
PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 9.9.9.9 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
>From tcpdump:
12:57:29.449128 IP 9.9.9.9 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2491, seq 1, length 64
Note the source address is from lo and is not a VRF local address. With
this patch:
$ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 10.0.0.3 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
>From tcpdump:
12:59:25.096426 IP 10.0.0.3 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2113, seq 1, length 64
Now the source address comes from vrf0.
The ipv4 function for selecting source address takes a const argument.
Removing the const requires touching a lot of places, so instead
l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu is changed to take a const argument and then
do the typecast to non-const as required by netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu.
This is similar to what l3mdev_fib_table_rcu does.
IPv6 for unnumbered interfaces appears to be selecting the addresses
properly.

L3 master devices allow users of the abstraction to influence FIB lookups
for enslaved devices. Current API provides a means for the master device
to return a specific FIB table for an enslaved device, to return an
rtable/custom dst and influence the OIF used for fib lookups.
