Merge branch 'net-More-movement-to-fib_nh_common'
David Ahern says: ==================== net: More movement to fib_nh_common Second set of three with the end goal of enabling IPv6 gateways with IPv4 routes. This set moves: - the ipv4 tracepoint to take a fib_nh_common and updates it to handle a v6 gateway. - consolidates route notifications to use the same fill functions for both ipv4 and ipv6 v4 - enhanced the commit message for patches 1 and 2 v3 - comments from Martin: + renamed FIB_RES_NH to FIB_RES_NHC + removed family check from fib_result_prefsrc + in fib_nexthop_info, renamed nexthop arg to nhc and dropped for_ipv4 arg v2 - dropped patches moving cached routes and exception buckets to fib_nh_common. The goal is allowing a fib6_nh to be used with an IPv4 route. The hold up is the need for separate exception buckets - one for v6 routes and one for v4 routes. When all of the nexthop patches are in, adding a secondi exception bucket pushes IPv6 fib6_info allocations over 256 which means fib6_info allocations roll up to 512. Hence, deferring the patches until some data mining can be done to keep the allocations at 256. ==================== Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
