FRR does not use the NLM_F_APPEND semantics ( in fact I would argue that
the NLM_F_APPEND semantics just introduce pain for all parties involved )
I would also argue that most people who use the kernel netlink api
have recognized that NLM_F_APPEND for a route is a recipe for disaster
that is well documented and as such it is not used as anything other
than a curiousity by operators.
See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1337855https://github.com/thom311/libnl/issues/226
Are 2 great examples of how confusing it is for anyone in user
space to know what the correct thing to do is. Given that
new fields can be added with no semantics to allow us to know
what has resulted in a change or not.
In an attempt to recognize this, let's note that FRR
believes it has gotten out of sync with the kernel.
Future commits will react to the desynchronized route
and request from the kernel a reload of that specific
route if possible.

The IPv6 version needs rtm_src_len and rtm_dst_len filled in due to
strict validation. IPv4 also has this requirement, but zebra is running
in non-strict mode there so the kernel accepts it...
Also the table ID hack is IPv4 only.

The multicast routing RTM_GETROUTE command does not use IIF/OIF
attributes, and the IPv6 version will refuse them with an error due to
being new netlink API and thus using strict validation.

zebra does not care about _notifications_ from the kernel regarding
multicast routing; we only use the MR netlink API to request stats from
the kernel by actively sending a RTM_GETROUTE.

The global vrf in zebra is always non-NULL. In general, it is bound to
default vrf by `zebra_vrf_init()`, at other times bound to some specific
vrf. Anyway, non-NULL.
So remove all redundant checkings for the returned value of
`zebra_vrf_get_evpn()`.
Additionally, remove the unnecessary check for `zvrf` in
`zebra_vxlan_cleanup_tables()`.

Store the fd that corresponds to the appropriate `struct nlsock` and pass
that around in the dplane context instead of the pointer to the nlsock.
Modify the kernel_netlink.c code to store in a hash the `struct nlsock`
with the socket fd as the key.
Why do this? The dataplane context is used to pass around the `struct nlsock`
but the zebra code has a bug where the received buffer for kernel netlink
messages from the kernel is not big enough. So we need to dynamically
grow the receive buffer per socket, instead of having a non-dynamic buffer
that we read into. By passing around the fd we can look up the `struct nlsock`
that will soon have the associated buffer and not have to worry about `const`
issues that will arise.

When using wait for install there exists situations where
zebra will issue several route change operations to the kernel
but end up in a state where we shouldn't be at the end
due to extra data being received. Example:
a) zebra receives from bgp a route change, installs sends the
route to the kernel.
b) zebra receives a route deletion from bgp, removes the
struct route entry and then sends to the kernel a deletion.
c) zebra receives an asynchronous notification that (a) succeeded
but we treat this as a new route.
This is the ships in the night problem. In this case if we receive
notification from the kernel about a route that we know nothing
about and we are not in startup and we are doing asic offload
then we can ignore this update.

With the addition of resillient hashing for nexthops, the
parsing of nexthops requires telling the decoder functions
that there may be nested attributes. This was found by
code inspection of iproute2/ipnexthop.c when trying to
understand resillient hashing as well as statistics
gathering for nexthops that are / will be in upstream
kernels in the near future.
