This patch adds save and restore commands to "ip route". Save dumps the RTNL stream to stdout which can then be passed to restore later. This may be helpful in some normal situations, and will allow C/R to migrate the routing information in userspace. Tweaking of the stream can be done by userspace helpers to convert between versions and adjust things like device indexes when restoring routes in a different environment. By factoring out some of the common bits of print_route() into filter_nlmsg(), the "save" command can use the same selection logic as "list," allowing the caller to save only specific routes as necessary. The only change since the RFC is the addition of manpage and doc material. Signed-off-by: Dan Smith <danms@us.ibm.com>
