This patch provides a new encap type for routes to insert an IOAM pre-allocated
trace:
$ ip -6 ro ad fc00::1/128 encap ioam6 trace prealloc type 0x800000 ns 1 size 12 dev eth0
where:
- "trace" and "prealloc" may appear as useless but just anticipate for future
implementations of other ioam option types.
- "type" is a bitfield (=u32) defining the IOAM pre-allocated trace type (see
the corresponding uapi).
- "ns" is an IOAM namespace ID attached to the pre-allocated trace.
- "size" is the trace pre-allocated size in bytes; must be a 4-octet multiple;
limited size (see IOAM6_TRACE_DATA_SIZE_MAX).

This patch provides support for adding, listing and removing IOAM namespaces
and schemas with iproute2. When adding an IOAM namespace, both "data" (=u32)
and "wide" (=u64) are optional. Therefore, you can either have none, one of
them, or both at the same time. When adding an IOAM schema, there is no
restriction on "DATA" except its size (see IOAM6_MAX_SCHEMA_DATA_LEN). By
default, an IOAM namespace has no active IOAM schema (meaning an IOAM namespace
is not linked to an IOAM schema), and an IOAM schema is not considered
as "active" (meaning an IOAM schema is not linked to an IOAM namespace). It is
possible to link an IOAM namespace with an IOAM schema, thanks to the last
command below (meaning the IOAM schema will be considered as "active" for the
specific IOAM namespace).
$ ip ioam
Usage: ip ioam { COMMAND | help }
ip ioam namespace show
ip ioam namespace add ID [ data DATA32 ] [ wide DATA64 ]
ip ioam namespace del ID

We started to use in-kernel filtering feature which allows to get only
needed tables (see iproute_dump_filter()). From the kernel side it's
implemented in net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c (inet_dump_fib), net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c
(inet6_dump_fib). The problem here is that behaviour of "ip route save"
was changed after
c7e6371bc ("ip route: Add protocol, table id and device to dump request").
If filters are used, then kernel returns ENOENT error if requested table
is absent, but in newly created net namespace even RT_TABLE_MAIN table
doesn't exist. It is really allocated, for instance, after issuing
"ip l set lo up".
Reproducer is fairly simple:
$ unshare -n ip route save > dump
Error: ipv4: FIB table does not exist.
Dump terminated
Expected result here is to get empty dump file (as it was before this
change).
v2: reworked, so, now it takes into account NLMSGERR_ATTR_MSG
(see nl_dump_ext_ack_done() function). We want to suppress error messages
in stderr about absent FIB table from kernel too.
v3: reworked to make code clearer. Introduced rtnl_suppressed_errors(),
rtnl_suppress_error() helpers. User may suppress up to 3 errors (may be
easily extended by changing SUPPRESS_ERRORS_INIT macro).
v4: reworked, rtnl_dump_filter_errhndlr() was introduced. Thanks
to Stephen Hemminger for comments and suggestions
v5: space fixes, commit message reformat, empty initializers

The WWAN interface for a new data channel should be created with a
command like this:
ip link add dev wwan0-2 parentdev wwan0 type wwan linkid 2
Where: wwan0 is the modem HW device name (should be taken from
/sys/class/wwan) and linkid is an identifier of the opened data

We introduce the new "End.DT46" action for supporting the SRv6 End.DT46
Behavior in iproute2.
The SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior, defined in RFC 8986 [1] section 4.8, can be
used to implement L3 VPNs based on Segment Routing over IPv6 networks in
multi-tenants environments and it is capable of handling both IPv4 and
IPv6 tenant traffic at the same time.
The SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior decapsulates the received packets and it
performs the IPv4 or IPv6 routing lookup in the routing table of the
tenant.
As for the End.DT4 and for the End.DT6 in VRF mode, the SRv6 End.DT46
Behavior leverages a VRF device in order to force the routing lookup into
the associated routing table using the "vrftable" attribute.
To make the End.DT46 work properly, it must be guaranteed that the
routing table used for routing lookup operations is bound to one and
only one VRF during the tunnel creation. Such constraint has to be
enforced by enabling the VRF strict_mode sysctl parameter, i.e.:
$ sysctl -wq net.vrf.strict_mode=1
Note that the same approach is used for the End.DT4 Behavior and for the
End.DT6 Behavior in VRF mode.
An SRv6 End.DT46 Behavior instance can be created as follows:
$ ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End.DT46 vrftable 100 dev vrf100
Standard Output:
$ ip -6 route show 2001:db8::1
2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End.DT46 vrftable 100 dev vrf100 metric 1024 pref medium
JSON Output:
$ ip -6 -j -p route show 2001:db8::1
[ {
"dst": "2001:db8::1",
"encap": "seg6local",
"action": "End.DT46",
"vrftable": 100,
"dev": "vrf100",
"metric": 1024,
"flags": [ ],
"pref": "medium"
} ]
This patch updates the route.8 man page and the ip route help with the
information related to End.DT46.
Considering that the same information was missing for the SRv6 End.DT4 and
the End.DT6 Behaviors, we have also added it.

We introduce the "count" optional attribute for supporting counters in SRv6
Behaviors as defined in [1], section 6. For each SRv6 Behavior instance,
counters defined in [1] are:
- the total number of packets that have been correctly processed;
- the total amount of traffic in bytes of all packets that have been
correctly processed;
In addition, we introduce a new counter that counts the number of packets
that have NOT been properly processed (i.e. errors) by an SRv6 Behavior
instance.
Each SRv6 Behavior instance can be configured, at the time of its creation,
to make use of counters specifing the "count" attribute as follows:
$ ip -6 route add 2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End count dev eth0
per-behavior counters can be shown by adding "-s" to the iproute2 command
line, i.e.:
$ ip -s -6 route show 2001:db8::1
2001:db8::1 encap seg6local action End packets 0 bytes 0 errors 0 dev eth0
