[net-next,v2,02/10] netdevsim: fib: Perform the route programming in a non-atomic context

Commit Message

Ido Schimmel Feb. 1, 2021, 7:47 p.m. UTC

From: Amit Cohen <[e-mail]>

Currently, netdevsim implements dummy FIB offload and marks notified
routes with RTM_F_TRAP flag. netdevsim does not defer route notifications
to a work queue because it does not need to program any hardware.

Given that netdevsim's purpose is to both give an example implementation
and allow developers to test their code, align netdevsim to a "real"
hardware device driver like mlxsw and have it also perform the route
"programming" in a non-atomic context.

It will be used to test route flags notifications which will be added in
the next patches.

The following changes are needed when route handling is performed in WQ:
- Handle the accounting in the main context, to be able to return an
  error for adding route when all the routes are used.
  For FIB_EVENT_ENTRY_REPLACE increase the counter before scheduling
  the delayed work, and in case that this event replaces an existing route,
  decrease the counter as part of the delayed work.

- For IPv6, cannot use fen6_info->rt->fib6_siblings list because it
  might be changed during handling the delayed work.
  Save an array with the nexthops as part of fib6_event struct, and take
  a reference for each nexthop to prevent them from being freed while
  event is queued.

- Change GFP_ATOMIC allocations to GFP_KERNEL.

- Use single work item that is handling a list of ordered routes.
  Handling routes must be processed in the order they were submitted to
  avoid logical errors that could lead to unexpected failures.
