* net: Add module reference to FIB notifiersIdo Schimmel2017-09-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a listener registers to the FIB notification chain it receives a dump of the FIB entries and rules from existing address families by invoking their dump operations. While we call into these modules we need to make sure they aren't removed. Do that by increasing their reference count before invoking their dump operations and decrease it afterwards.

* net: fib_rules: Implement notification logic in coreIdo Schimmel2017-08-031-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* net: core: Make the FIB notification chain genericIdo Schimmel2017-08-031-57/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ipv4: fib: Remove redundant argumentIdo Schimmel2017-03-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | We always pass the same event type to fib_notify() and fib_rules_notify(), so we can safely drop this argument.

* ipv4: fib: Move FIB notification code to a separate fileIdo Schimmel2017-03-101-0/+86
Most of the code concerned with the FIB notification chain currently resides in fib_trie.c, but this isn't really appropriate, as the FIB notification chain is also used for FIB rules. Therefore, it makes sense to move the common FIB notification code to a separate file and have it export the relevant functions, which can be invoked by its different users (e.g., fib_trie.c, fib_rules.c).
