this is used when parsing the newly network namespaces. actually, to
track the link of some interfaces like vxlan interfaces, both link index
and link nsid are necessary. if a vxlan interface is moved to a new
netns, the link information is in the default network namespace, then
LINK_NSID is the value of the netns by default in the new netns. That
value of the default netns in the new netns is not known, because the
system does not automatically assign an NSID of default network
namespace in the new netns. Now a new NSID of default netns, seen from
that new netns, is created. This permits to store at netns creation the
default netns relative value for further usage.
Because the default netns value is set from the new netns perspective,
it is not needed anymore to use the NETNSA_TARGET_NSID attribute only
available in recent kernels.

when duplicate address detection is observed, some incrementation,
some timing mechanisms need to be done. For that the main evpn
configuration is retrieved. Until now, the VRF that was storing the dad
config parameters was the same VRF that hosted the VXLAN interface. With
netns backend, this is not true, as the VXLAN interface is in the
same VRF as the bridge interface. The modification takes same definition
as in BGP, that is to say that there is a single bgp evpn instance, and
this is that instance that will give the correct config settings.

this information is necessary for local information, because the
interface associated to the mac address is stored with its ifindex, and
the ifindex may not be enough to get to the right interface when it
comes with multiple network namespaces.

when working with vrf netns backend, two bridges interfaces may have the
same bridge interface index, but not the same namespace. because in vrf
netns backend mode, a bridge slave always belong to the same network
namespace, then a check with the namespace id and the ns id of the
bridge interface permits to resolve correctly the interface pointer.
The problem could occur if a same index of two bridge interfaces can be
found on two different namespaces.

when receiving a netlink API for an interface in a namespace, this
interface may come with LINK_NSID value, which means that the interface
has its link in an other namespace. Unfortunately, the link_nsid value
is self to that namespace, and there is a need to know what is its
associated nsid value from the default namespace point of view.
The information collected previously on each namespace, can then be
compared with that value to check if the link belongs to the default
namespace or not.

to be able to retrieve the network namespace identifier for each
namespace, the ns id is stored in each ns context. For default
namespace, the netns id is the same as that value.

as remind, the netns identifiers are local to a namespace. that is to
say that for instance, a vrf <vrfx> will have a netns id value in one
netns, and have an other netns id value in one other netns.
There is a need for zebra daemon to collect some cross information, like
the LINK_NETNSID information from interfaces having link layer in an
other network namespace. For that, it is needed to have a global
overview instead of a relative overview per namespace.
The first brick of this change is an API that sticks to netlink API,
that uses NETNSA_TARGET_NSID. from a given vrf vrfX, and a new vrf
created vrfY, the API returns the value of nsID from vrfX, inside the
new vrf vrfY.
The brick also gets the ns id value of default namespace in each other
namespace. An additional value in ns.h is offered, that permits to
retrieve the default namespace context.

an incoming bridge index has been found, that is linked with vxlan
interface, and the search for that bridge interface is done. In
vrf-lite, the search is done across the same default namespace, because
bridge and vxlan may not be in the same vrf. But this behaviour is wrong
when using vrf netns backend, as the bridge and the vxlan have to be in
the same vrf ( hence in the same network namespace). To comply with
that, use the netnamespace of the vxlan interface. Like that, the
appropriate nsid is passed as parameter, and consequently, the search is
correct, and the mac address passed to BGP will be ok too.

other network namespaces are parsed because bridge interface can be
bridged with vxlan interfaces with a link in the default vrf that hosts
l2vpn.

With vrf-lite mechanisms, it is possible to create layer 3 vnis by
creating a bridge interface in default vr, by creating a vxlan interface
that is attached to that bridge interface, then by moving the vxlan
interface to the wished vrf.
With vrf-netns mechanism, it is slightly different since bridged
interfaces can not be separated in different network namespaces. To make
it work, the setup consists in :
- creating a vxlan interface on default vrf.
- move the vxlan interface to the wished vrf ( with an other netns)
- create a bridge interface in the wished vrf
- attach the vxlan interface to that bridged interface
from that point, if BGP is enabled to advertise vnis in default vrf,
then vxlan interfaces are discovered appropriately in other vrfs,
provided that the link interface still resides in the vrf where l2vpn is
advertised.
to import ipv4 entries from a separate vrf, into the l2vpn, the
configuration of vni in the dedicated vrf + the advertisement of ipv4
entries in bgp vrf will import the entries in the bgp l2vpn.
the modification consists in parsing the vxlan interfaces in all network
namespaces, where the link resides in the same network namespace as the
bgp core instance where bgp l2vpn is enabled.

The RFC states:
The BGP Identifier is a 4-octet, unsigned, non-zero integer that
should be unique within an AS. The value of the BGP Identifier
for a BGP speaker is determined on startup and is the same for
every local interface and every BGP peer.
We were going slightly beyond this and ensuring that the address
was a specific range of addresses which is no longer relevant.
