2019-05-28nexthop: Add support for IPv6 gatewaysDavid Ahern
Handle IPv6 gateway in a nexthop spec. If nh_family is set to AF_INET6, NHA_GATEWAY is expected to be an IPv6 address. Add ipv6 option to gw in nh_config to hold the address, add fib6_nh to nh_info to leverage the ipv6 initialization and cleanup code. Update nh_fill_node to dump the v6 address.

2019-05-28nexthop: Add support for IPv4 nexthopsDavid Ahern
Add support for IPv4 nexthops. If nh_family is set to AF_INET, then NHA_GATEWAY is expected to be an IPv4 address. Register for netdev events to be notified of admin up/down changes as well as deletes. A hash table is used to track nexthop per devices to quickly convert device events to the affected nexthops.

2019-05-28net: Initial nexthop codeDavid Ahern
Barebones start point for nexthops. Implementation for RTM commands, notifications, management of rbtree for holding nexthops by id, and kernel side data structures for nexthops and nexthop config. Nexthops are maintained in an rbtree sorted by id. Similar to routes, nexthops are configured per namespace using netns_nexthop struct added to struct net. Nexthop notifications are sent when a nexthop is added or deleted, but NOT if the delete is due to a device event or network namespace teardown (which also involves device events). Applications are expected to use the device down event to flush nexthops and any routes used by the nexthops. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
