H A Dfib_rules.hdiff 7764a45a8f1fe74d4f7d301eaca2e558e7e2831a Wed Jul 31 19:17:15 CDT 2013 Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek@wertarbyte.de> fib_rules: add .suppress operation

This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the
suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its
results.

The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the
structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length
>0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more
general) routing table entries will be ignored.

When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it
is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but
omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this
can be achieved by using the following command sequence:

$ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1

$ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1
$ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink

With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing
table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can
be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the
table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to
destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.

H A Dfib6_rules.cdiff 46b3a421903aa2a4bc9731ca4663cee3ea869dab Thu Aug 01 01:54:47 CDT 2013 Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> ipv6: fib6_rules should return exact return value

With the addition of the suppress operation
(7764a45a8f1fe74d4f7d301eaca2e558e7e2831a ("fib_rules: add .suppress
operation") we rely on accurate error reporting of the fib_rules.actions.

fib6_rule_action always returned -EAGAIN in case we could not find a
matching route and 0 if a rule was matched. This also included a match
for blackhole or prohibited rule actions which could get suppressed by
the new logic.

So adapt fib6_rule_action to always return the correct error code as
its counterpart fib4_rule_action does. This also fixes a possiblity of
nullptr-deref where we don't find a table, thus rt == NULL. Because
the condition rt != ip6_null_entry still holdes it seems we could later
get a nullptr bug on dereference rt->dst.

v2:
a) Fixed a brain fart in the commit msg (the rule => a table, etc). No
changes to the patch.
