mpls: support for dead routes
Adds support for RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags on mpls routes due to link events. Also adds code to ignore dead routes during route selection. Unlike ip routes, mpls routes are not deleted when the route goes dead. This is current mpls behaviour and this patch does not change that. With this patch however, routes will be marked dead. dead routes are not notified to userspace (this is consistent with ipv4 routes). dead routes: ----------- $ip -f mpls route show 100 nexthop as to 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1 nexthop as to 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2 $ip link set dev swp1 down $ip link show dev swp1 4: swp1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:02:00:00:00:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ip -f mpls route show 100 nexthop as to 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1 dead linkdown nexthop as to 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2 linkdown routes: ---------------- $ip -f mpls route show 100 nexthop as to 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1 nexthop as to 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2 $ip link show dev swp1 4: swp1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:02:00:00:00:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff /* carrier goes down */ $ip link show dev swp1 4: swp1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:02:00:00:00:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ip -f mpls route show 100 nexthop as to 200 via inet 10.1.1.2 dev swp1 linkdown nexthop as to 700 via inet 10.1.1.6 dev swp2 Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Acked-by: Robert Shearman <rshearma@brocade.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
