Add support for entries which are "sticky", i.e. will not change their port
if they show up from a different one. A new ndm flag is introduced for that
purpose - NTF_STICKY. We allow to set it only to non-local entries.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

When a new static FDB is added to the bridge a notification is sent to
the driver for offload. In case of successful offload the driver should
notify the bridge back, which in turn should mark the FDB as offloaded.
Currently, externally learned is equivalent for being offloaded which is
not correct due to the fact that FDBs which are added from user-space are
also marked as externally learned. In order to specify if an FDB was
successfully offloaded a new flag is introduced.

Vxlan COLLECT_METADATA mode today solves the per-vni netdev
scalability problem in l3 networks. It expects all forwarding
information to be present in dst_metadata. This patch series
enhances collect metadata mode to include the case where only
vni is present in dst_metadata, and the vxlan driver can then use
the rest of the forwarding information datbase to make forwarding
decisions. There is no change to default COLLECT_METADATA
behaviour. These changes only apply to COLLECT_METADATA when
used with the bridging use-case with a special dst_metadata
tunnel info flag (eg: where vxlan device is part of a bridge).
For all this to work, the vxlan driver will need to now support a
single fdb table hashed by mac + vni. This series essentially makes
this happen.
use-case and workflow:
vxlan collect metadata device participates in bridging vlan
to vn-segments. Bridge driver above the vxlan device,
sends the vni corresponding to the vlan in the dst_metadata.
vxlan driver will lookup forwarding database with (mac + vni)
for the required remote destination information to forward the
packet.
Changes introduced by this patch:
- allow learning and forwarding database state in vxlan netdev in
COLLECT_METADATA mode. Current behaviour is not changed
by default. tunnel info flag IP_TUNNEL_INFO_BRIDGE is used
to support the new bridge friendly mode.
- A single fdb table hashed by (mac, vni) to allow fdb entries with
multiple vnis in the same fdb table
- rx path already has the vni
- tx path expects a vni in the packet with dst_metadata
- prior to this series, fdb remote_dsts carried remote vni and
the vxlan device carrying the fdb table represented the
source vni. With the vxlan device now representing multiple vnis,
this patch adds a src vni attribute to the fdb entry. The remote
vni already uses NDA_VNI attribute. This patch introduces
NDA_SRC_VNI netlink attribute to represent the src vni in a multi
vni fdb table.
iproute2 example (patched and pruned iproute2 output to just show
relevant fdb entries):
example shows same host mac learnt on two vni's.
before (netdev per vni):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan1000 dst 12.0.0.8 self
after this patch with collect metadata in bridged mode (single netdev):
$bridge fdb show | grep "00:02:00:00:00:03"
00:02:00:00:00:03 dev vxlan0 src_vni 1001 dst 12.0.0.8 self

Add an explicit neighbour table overflow message (ratelimited) and
statistic to make diagnosing neighbour table overflows tractable in
the wild.
Diagnosing a neighbour table overflow can be quite difficult in the wild
because there is no explicit dmesg logged. Callers to neighbour code
seem to use net_dbg_ratelimit when the neighbour call fails which means
the "base message" is not emitted and the callback suppressed messages
from the ratelimiting can end-up juxtaposed with unrelated messages.
Further, a forced garbage collection will increment a stat on each call
whether it was successful in freeing-up a table entry or not, so that
statistic is only a hint. So, add a net_info_ratelimited message and
explicit statistic to the neighbour code.

We send unicast neighbor (ARP or NDP) solicitations ucast_probes
times in PROBE state. Zhu Yanjun reported that some implementation
does not reply against them and the entry will become FAILED, which
is undesirable.
We had been dealt with such nodes by sending multicast probes mcast_
solicit times after unicast probes in PROBE state. In 2003, I made
a change not to send them to improve compatibility with IPv6 NDP.
Let's introduce per-protocol per-interface sysctl knob "mcast_
reprobe" to configure the number of multicast (re)solicitation for
reconfirmation in PROBE state. The default is 0, since we have
been doing so for 10+ years.

Previous commit is based on a wrong assumption, fdb messages are always sent
into the netns where the interface stands (see vxlan_fdb_notify()).
These fdb messages doesn't embed the rtnl attribute IFLA_LINK_NETNSID, thus we
need to add it (useful to interpret NDA_IFINDEX or NDA_DST for example).
Note also that vxlan_nlmsg_size() was not updated.

Netlink FDB messages are sent in the link netns. The header of these messages
contains the ifindex (ndm_ifindex) of the netdevice, but this ifindex is
unusable in case of x-netns vxlan.
I named the new attribute NDA_NDM_IFINDEX_NETNSID, to avoid confusion with
NDA_IFINDEX.

When the swdev device learns a new mac/vlan on a port, it sends some async
notification to the driver and the driver installs an FDB in the device.
To give a holistic system view, the learned mac/vlan should be reflected
in the bridge's FBD table, so the user, using normal iproute2 cmds, can view
what is currently learned by the device. This API on the bridge driver gives
a way for the swdev driver to install an FBD entry in the bridge FBD table.
(And remove one).
This is equivalent to the device running these cmds:
bridge fdb [add|del] <mac> dev <dev> vid <vlan id> master

(This patch was previously posted as RFC at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352677/)
This patch adds NDA_MASTER attribute to neighbour attributes enum for
bridge/master ifindex. And adds NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs.
Today bridge fdb notifications dont contain bridge information.
Userspace can derive it from the port information in the fdb
notification. However this is tricky in some scenarious.
Example, bridge port delete notification comes before bridge fdb
delete notifications. And we have seen problems in userspace
when using libnl where, the bridge fdb delete notification handling code
does not understand which bridge this fdb entry is part of because
the bridge and port association has already been deleted.
And these notifications (port membership and fdb) are generated on
separate rtnl groups.
Fixing the order of notifications could possibly solve the problem
for some cases (I can submit a separate patch for that).
This patch chooses to add NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs
because it not only solves the problem described above, but also helps
userspace avoid another lookup into link msgs to derive the master index.

This patch generalizes VXLAN forwarding table entries allowing an administrator
to:
1) specify multiple destinations for a given MAC
2) specify alternate vni's in the VXLAN header
3) specify alternate destination UDP ports
4) use multicast MAC addresses as fdb lookup keys
5) specify multicast destinations
6) specify the outgoing interface for forwarded packets
The combination allows configuration of more complex topologies using VXLAN
encapsulation.

When a user adds bridge neighbors, allow him to specify VLAN id.
If the VLAN id is not specified, the neighbor will be added
for VLANs currently in the ports filter list. If no VLANs are
configured on the port, we use vlan 0 and only add 1 entry.
