With a current (5.1) kernel version, IPv6 exception routes can't be listed
(ip -6 route list cache) or flushed (ip -6 route flush cache). Kernel
support for this is being added back. Relevant net-next commits:
564c91f7e563 fib_frontend, ip6_fib: Select routes or exceptions dump from RTM_F_CLONED
ef11209d4219 Revert "net/ipv6: Bail early if user only wants cloned entries"

1e47b4837f3b ipv6: Dump route exceptions if requested
40cb35d5dc04 ip6_fib: Don't discard nodes with valid routing information in fib6_locate_1()
However, to allow the kernel to filter routes based on the RTM_F_CLONED
flag, we need to make sure this flag is always passed when we want cached
routes to be dumped, and we can also pass table and output interface
attributes to have the kernel filtering on them, if requested by the user.
Use the existing iproute_dump_filter() as a filter for the dump request in
iproute_flush(). This way, 'ip -6 route flush cache' works again.
v2: Instead of creating a separate 'filter' function dealing with
RTM_F_CACHED only, use the existing iproute_dump_filter() and get
table and oif kernel filtering for free. Suggested by David Ahern.

'ip netns exec' changes the current netns just before executing a child
process, and restores it after forking. This is needed if we're running
in batch or do_all mode.
Some cleanups must be done both in the parent and in the child: the
parent must restore the previous netns, while the child must reset any
VRF association.
Unfortunately, if do_all is set, the VRF are not reset in the child, and
the spawned processes are started with the wrong VRF context. This can
be triggered with this script:
# ip -b - <<-'EOF'
link add type vrf table 100
link set vrf0 up
link add type dummy
link set dummy0 vrf vrf0 up
netns add ns1
EOF
# ip -all -b - <<-'EOF'
vrf exec vrf0 true
netns exec setsid -f sleep 1h
EOF
# ip vrf pids vrf0
314 sleep
# ps 314
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
314 ? Ss 0:00 sleep 1h
Refactor cmd_exec() and pass to it a function pointer which is called in
the child before the final exec. In the netns exec case the function just
resets the VRF and switches netns.
Doing it in the child is less error prone and safer, because the parent
environment is always kept unaltered.
After this refactor some utility functions became unused, so remove them.

When creating a new netns or executing a program into an existing one,
the unshare() or setns() calls will change the current netns.
In batch mode, this can run commands on the wrong interfaces, as the
ifindex value is meaningful only in the current netns. For example, this
command fails because veth-c doesn't exists in the init netns:
# ip -b - <<-'EOF'
netns add client
link add name veth-c type veth peer veth-s netns client
addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev veth-c
EOF
Cannot find device "veth-c"
Command failed -:7
But if there are two devices with the same name in the init and new netns,
ip will build a wrong ll_map with indexes belonging to the new netns,
and will execute actions in the init netns using this wrong mapping.
This script will flush all eth0 addresses and bring it down, as it has
the same ifindex of veth0 in the new netns:

The same issue can be triggered by the netns exec subcommand with a
sligthy different script:
# ip netns add client
# ip -b - <<-'EOF'
netns exec client true
link add name veth0 type veth peer name veth1
link add name veth-ns type veth peer name veth0 netns client
link set veth0 down
address flush veth0
EOF
Fix this by adding two netns_{save,reset} functions, which are used
to get a file descriptor for the init netns, and restore it after
each batch command.
netns_save() is called before the unshare() or setns(),
while netns_restore() is called after each command.

ctinfo is a tc action restoring data stored in conntrack marks to
various fields. At present it has two independent modes of operation,
restoration of DSCP into IPv4/v6 diffserv and restoration of conntrack
marks into packet skb marks.
It understands a number of parameters specific to this action in
additional to the usual action syntax. Each operating mode is
independent of the other so all options are optional, however not
specifying at least one mode is a bit pointless.
Usage: ... ctinfo [dscp mask [statemask]] [cpmark [mask]] [zone ZONE]
[CONTROL] [index <INDEX>]
DSCP mode
dscp enables copying of a DSCP stored in the conntrack mark into the
ipv4/v6 diffserv field. The mask is a 32bit field and specifies where
in the conntrack mark the DSCP value is located. It must be 6
contiguous bits long. eg. 0xfc000000 would restore the DSCP from the
upper 6 bits of the conntrack mark.
The DSCP copying may be optionally controlled by a statemask. The
statemask is a 32bit field, usually with a single bit set and must not
overlap the dscp mask. The DSCP restore operation will only take place
if the corresponding bit/s in conntrack mark ANDed with the statemask
yield a non zero result.
eg. dscp 0xfc000000 0x01000000 would retrieve the DSCP from the top 6
bits, whilst using bit 25 as a flag to do so. Bit 26 is unused in this
example.
CPMARK mode
cpmark enables copying of the conntrack mark to the packet skb mark. In
this mode it is completely equivalent to the existing act_connmark
action. Additional functionality is provided by the optional mask
parameter, whereby the stored conntrack mark is logically ANDed with the
cpmark mask before being stored into skb mark. This allows shared usage
of the conntrack mark between applications.
eg. cpmark 0x00ffffff would restore only the lower 24 bits of the
conntrack mark, thus may be useful in the event that the upper 8 bits
are used by the DSCP function.
Usage: ... ctinfo [dscp mask [statemask]] [cpmark [mask]] [zone ZONE]
[CONTROL] [index <INDEX>]
where :
dscp MASK is the bitmask to restore DSCP
STATEMASK is the bitmask to determine conditional restoring
cpmark MASK mask applied to restored packet mark
ZONE is the conntrack zone
CONTROL := reclassify | pipe | drop | continue | ok |

the following TDC test case:
b776 - Replace simple action with invalid goto chain control
checks if the kernel correctly validates the 'goto chain' control action,
when it is specified in 'act_simple' rules. The test systematically fails
because the control action is hardcoded in parse_simple(), i.e. it is not
parsed by command line arguments, so its value is constantly TC_ACT_PIPE.
Because of that, the following command:
# tc action add action simple sdata "test" drop index 7
installs an 'act_simple' rule that never drops packets, and whose 'index'
is the first IDR available, plus an 'act_gact' rule with 'index' equal to
7, that drops packets.
Use parse_action_control_dflt(), like we did on many other TC actions, to
make the control action configurable also with 'act_simple'. The expected
results of test b776 are summarized below:
iproute2
v kernel->| 5.1-rc2 (and previous) | 5.1-rc3 (and subsequent)

we can teach gact to skip parsing arguments as soon as it sees 'gact'
