nexthop: support for fdb ecmp nexthops
This patch introduces ecmp nexthops and nexthop groups for mac fdb entries. In subsequent patches this is used by the vxlan driver fdb entries. The use case is E-VPN multihoming [1,2,3] which requires bridged vxlan traffic to be load balanced to remote switches (vteps) belonging to the same multi-homed ethernet segment (This is analogous to a multi-homed LAG but over vxlan). Changes include new nexthop flag NHA_FDB for nexthops referenced by fdb entries. These nexthops only have ip. This patch includes appropriate checks to avoid routes referencing such nexthops. example: $ip nexthop add id 12 via 172.16.1.2 fdb $ip nexthop add id 13 via 172.16.1.3 fdb $ip nexthop add id 102 group 12/13 fdb $bridge fdb add 02:02:00:00:00:13 dev vxlan1000 nhid 101 self [1] E-VPN https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432 [2] E-VPN VxLAN: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8365 [3] LPC talk with mention of nexthop groups for L2 ecmp http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/scaling_bridge_fdb_database_slidesV3.pdf v4 - fixed uninitialized variable reported by kernel test robot Reported-by: kernel test robot <rong.a.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
