Callers of rtnl_talk check errno value for their needs. In particular, the addrs
and routes restoring code validly reports success if the EEXISTS is in there.
However, the errno value can be sometimes screwed up by the perror call. Thus
we should only set it _after_ the message was emitted.

Add a new netlink attribute type to the dump request to allow
filtering of the information returned for the respective matching
interfaces. At this time the only filter defined is to request
virtual function (VF) device info for interfaces that attached VFs.
It will also be possible to extend the request with other yet to be
defined netlink attributes in the future.

This is trivial patch for libnetlink.c in iproute2.
In iproute2/include/linux/netlink.h NLM_F_DUMP is defines as:
#define NLM_F_DUMP (NLM_F_ROOT|NLM_F_MATCH)
It is not used in libnetlink.c. If used, the code becomes a bit easier
to read.

Both rtnl_talk and rtnl_dump had a callback for handling portions
of netlink message that do not match the correct pid or seq.
But this callback was never used by any part of iproute2 so remove
it.
The get_jiffies() function retrieves rtt-type values in units of
milliseconds. This patch updates the function name accordingly,
following the pattern given by dst_metric() <=> dst_metric_rtt().
Since July 2008 (2.6.27, c1e20f7c8b9), the kernel stores the values for
RTAX_{RTT{,VAR},RTO_MIN} in milliseconds. When using a kernel > 2.6.27 with
the current iproute2, conversion of these values is broken in either way.
This patch
* updates the code to pass and retrieve milliseconds;
* since values < 1msec would be rounded up, also drops the usec/nsec variants;
* since there is no way to query kernel HZ, also drops the jiffies variant.
Arguments such as
rtt 3.23sec
rto_min 0xff
rto_min 0.200s
rttvar 25ms
now all work as expected when reading back previously set values.
User can specify device group to list by using the group keyword:
ip link show group test
If no group is specified, 0 (default) is implied.

The old 'ip addr flush' logic had several flaws:
* It reversed logic for primary v/s secondary flags
(though, it sort of worked right anyway)
* The code tried to remove secondaries and then primaries,
but in practice, it always removed one primary per loop,
which not at all efficient.
* The filter logic in the core would run only the first
filter in most cases.
* If you used '-s -s', the ifa_flags member would be
modified, which could make future filters fail
to function fine.
This patch attempts to fix all of these issues.

Recent gcc doesn't like it when you cast char pointers to uint16_t
pointers and then dereference it. So use memcpy() instead and let
gcc take care of optimizing things away (when appropriate). This
should also fix alignment issues on arches where gcc packs the char
pointer tighter than 16bits.

Unless promote_secondaries has been active deleting the primary address of
an interface will automatically delete all the secondary addresses.
In the case where ip flush requests the primary then secondary addresses to
be removed - which is the order the addresses are returned by the kernel -
this will cause an error as by the time the request to remove a secondary
address is made it will be missing as it will have been deleted in the
course of deleting the primary address.
This approach to solving this problem orders requests for the
deletion of secondary addresses before primary ones providing
rtnl_dump_filter_l(), a version of rtnl_dump_filter() that
iterates over a list of filters. And by providing two specialised
filters print_addrinfo_secondary() and print_addrinfo_primary().
rtnl_dump_filter_l() first iterates over all addresses using
print_addrinfo_secondary(), which appends secondary addresses to the
request buffer. Then again using print_addrinfo_primary() which appends
primary addresses.
This approach should work regardless of it promote_secondaries is
active or not. And regardless of if any primary of secondary addresses
are present or not.

It uses 1MB as receive buf limit by default (without
increasing /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max it will be limited by less
however) and allows to specify the size manually using "-rcvbuf X"
(-r is already used, so you need to specify at least -rc).
Additionally rtnl_listen() continues on ENOBUFS after printing the
error message.
I experienced an error, if I try to perform a
ip route flush proto 4
with many routes in a complex environment, it
gave me the following error:
Failed to send flush request: Success
Flush terminated
t's not a big problem, but it makes a better show in 'ip link show' on
CAN interfaces :-)
I also moved __PF(CAN,can) in ll_proto.c to the same position where it
can be found in if_ether.h .
The only thing i did not know if the __PF(CAN,can) in ll_types.c needs
to be put in #ifdef ARPHDR_CAN like __PF(HWX25,hwx25) is or not. You
definitely know that better than me.
Handle 10/8 as 10.0.0.0/8 and check for bogus values like 256/8.
This is a comprimise between original iproute2 parsing and standard BSD
parsing of abbreviated IPV4 addresses.

Apparently inet_pton doesn't support abbreviated/shortened/classful
ipv4 addresses at all, but inet_aton does.
Since the function only deals with AF_INET anyway maybe using
inet_aton "to increse backwards compatability" (please those
who still want to use the format) could be considered?
(This will still not restore the 10/8 format which apparently used
to work in iproute, so people would have to settle for 10.0/8)
(See http://bugs.debian.org/497011)
Some usages of rtnl_send could cause errors (ie flush requests)
others do a listen afterwards.

This fixes the problem where a bulk operation (like ip flush)
is performed as non-root user. The kernel will only send a response
if there is an error, so check for it.
If there is a problem talking to kernel, don't retry except in the
special case of signal or -EAGAIN
