New UAPI for nexthops as standalone objects: - defines netlink ancillary header, struct nhmsg - RTM commands for nexthop objects, RTM_*NEXTHOP, - RTNLGRP for nexthop notifications, RTNLGRP_NEXTHOP, - Attributes for creating nexthops, NHA_* - Attribute for route specs to specify a nexthop by id, RTA_NH_ID. The nexthop attributes and semantics follow the route and RTA ones for device, gateway and lwt encap. Unique to nexthop objects are a blackhole and a group which contains references to other nexthop objects. With the exception of blackhole and group, nexthop objects MUST contain a device. Gateway and encap are optional. Nexthop groups can only reference other pre-existing nexthops by id. If the NHA_ID attribute is present that id is used for the nexthop. If not specified, one is auto assigned. Dump requests can include attributes: - NHA_GROUPS to return only nexthop groups, - NHA_MASTER to limit dumps to nexthops with devices enslaved to the given master (e.g., VRF) - NHA_OIF to limit dumps to nexthops using given device nlmsg_route_perms in selinux code is updated for the new RTM comands.
