Man page of ip-route(8) says following about route types:
unreachable - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐
carded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated. The local
senders get an EHOSTUNREACH error.
blackhole - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are dis‐
carded silently. The local senders get an EINVAL error.
prohibit - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded
and the ICMP message communication administratively prohibited is
generated. The local senders get an EACCES error.
In the inet6 address family, this was correct, except the local senders
got ENETUNREACH error instead of EHOSTUNREACH in case of unreachable route.
In the inet address family, all three route types generated ICMP message
net unreachable, and the local senders got ENETUNREACH error.
In both address families all three route types now behave consistently
with documentation.

fib_select_default considers alternative routes only when
res->fi is for the first alias in res->fa_head. In the
common case this can happen only when the initial lookup
matches the first alias with highest TOS value. This
prevents the alternative routes to require specific TOS.
This patch solves the problem as follows:
- routes that require specific TOS should be returned by
fib_select_default only when TOS matches, as already done
in fib_table_lookup. This rule implies that depending on the
TOS we can have many different lists of alternative gateways
and we have to keep the last used gateway (fa_default) in first
alias for the TOS instead of using single tb_default value.
- as the aliases are ordered by many keys (TOS desc,
fib_priority asc), we restrict the possible results to
routes with matching TOS and lowest metric (fib_priority)
and routes that match any TOS, again with lowest metric.
For example, packet with TOS 8 can not use gw3 (not lowest
metric), gw4 (different TOS) and gw6 (not lowest metric),
all other gateways can be used:
tos 8 via gw1 metric 2 <--- res->fa_head and res->fi
tos 8 via gw2 metric 2
tos 8 via gw3 metric 3
tos 4 via gw4
tos 0 via gw5
tos 0 via gw6 metric 1

This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global
sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'.
net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
...
When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is
dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib
lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be
selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace
if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it
the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would
be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the
interface has IFF_UP cleared.
With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed
(interface p8p1 is link-down):
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15
cache
While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if
needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was
cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is
down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.56.2
90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1
cache
and the output changes to what one would expect.
If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when
p8p1 is down:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that
the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.

This patch is meant to collapse local and main into one by converting
tb_data from an array to a pointer. Doing this allows us to point the
local table into the main while maintaining the same variables in the
table.
As such the tb_data was converted from an array to a pointer, and a new
array called data is added in order to still provide an object for tb_data
to point to.
In order to track the origin of the fib aliases a tb_id value was added in
a hole that existed on 64b systems. Using this we can also reverse the
merge in the event that custom FIB rules are enabled.
With this patch I am seeing an improvement of 20ns to 30ns for routing
lookups as long as custom rules are not enabled, with custom rules enabled
we fall back to split tables and the original behavior.

In recent testing I had disabled CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES and as a result
when I ran "cat /proc/net/fib_trie" the main trie was displayed multiple
times. I found that the problem line of code was in the function
fib_trie_seq_next. Specifically the line below caused the indexes to go in
the opposite direction of our traversal:
h = tb->tb_id & (FIB_TABLE_HASHSZ - 1);
This issue was that the RT tables are defined such that RT_TABLE_LOCAL is ID
255, while it is located at TABLE_LOCAL_INDEX of 0, and RT_TABLE_MAIN is 254
with a TABLE_MAIN_INDEX of 1. This means that the above line will return 1
for the local table and 0 for main. The result is that fib_trie_seq_next
will return NULL at the end of the local table, fib_trie_seq_start will
return the start of the main table, and then fib_trie_seq_next will loop on
main forever as h will always return 0.
The fix for this is to reverse the ordering of the two tables. It has the
advantage of making it so that the tables now print in the same order
regardless of if multiple tables are enabled or not. In order to make the
definition consistent with the multiple tables case I simply masked the to
RT_TABLE_XXX values by (FIB_TABLE_HASHSZ - 1). This way the two table
layouts should always stay consistent.

Commit d2d68ba9 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops)
assmued that "locally destined, and routed packets, never trigger
PMTU events or redirects that will be processed by us".
However, it seems that tunnel devices do trigger PMTU events in certain
cases. At least ip_gre, ip6_gre, sit, and ipip do use the inner flow's
skb_dst(skb)->ops->update_pmtu to propage mtu information from the
outer flows. These can cause the inner flow mtu to be decreased. If
next hop exceptions are not consulted for pmtu, IP fragmentation will
not be done properly for these routes.
It also seems that we really need to have the PMTU information always
for netfilter TCPMSS clamp-to-pmtu feature to work properly.
So for the time being, cache separate copies of input routes for
each next hop exception.

However, using rt_genid is quite heavy as it is bumped on route

happen quite often, especially if using dynamic routing protocols.
While this is ok with routes (as they are just recreated locally),
the pmtu information is learned from remote systems and the icmp

commit d2d68ba9fe (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.)
introduced a regression for forwarding.
This was hard to reproduce but the symptom was that packets were
delivered to local host instead of being forwarded.
David suggested to add fib_type to fib_info so that we dont
inadvertently share same fib_info for different purposes.
With help from Julian Anastasov who provided very helpful
hints, reproduced here :
<quote>
Can it be a problem related to fib_info reuse
from different routes. For example, when local IP address
is created for subnet we have:
broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.0/24 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
local 192.168.0.1 dev DEV proto kernel scope host src 192.168.0.1
The "dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1" is
a reused fib_info structure where we put cached routes.
The result can be same fib_info for 192.168.0.255 and
192.168.0.0/24. RTN_BROADCAST is cached only for input
routes. Incoming broadcast to 192.168.0.255 can be cached
and can cause problems for traffic forwarded to 192.168.0.0/24.
So, this patch should solve the problem because it
separates the broadcast from unicast traffic.
And the ip_route_input_slow caching will work for
local and broadcast input routes (above routes 1 and 3) just
because they differ in scope and use different fib_info.

dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.
Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.
Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)

If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache
it in the FIB info nexthop.
Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a
family of destinations, rather than just one.
The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is
adjusted to make the logic work properly.
Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception.
Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether
DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route.
Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting
route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache.

The specific destination is the host we direct unicast replies to.
Usually this is the original packet source address, but if we are
responding to a multicast or broadcast packet we have to use something
different.
Specifically we must use the source address we would use if we were to
send a packet to the unicast source of the original packet.
The routing cache precomputes this value, but we want to remove that
precomputation because it creates a hard dependency on the expensive
rpfilter source address validation which we'd like to make cheaper.
There are only three places where this matters:
1) ICMP replies.
2) pktinfo CMSG
3) IP options
Now there will be no real users of rt->rt_spec_dst and we can simply

fib_table_select_default(). This is completely unnecessary
code duplication.
Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib
alias list of the default route, we can implement one single
generic version of this routine.
Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression
that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in
the table for the default route. The truth is, it isn't, the
insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero
prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all
keys in a hash table must be unique.

This will be used later to implement fib_select_default() in a
completely generic manner, instead of the current situation where the
default route is re-looked up in the TRIE/HASH table and then the
available aliases are analyzed.
