This patch drops the redundant description of some of ip's options in
ip-link.8's description of the 'show' subcommand, preserving the
description of -iec (but appending it to the list in ip.8 with minor
fixes).

It is hard to quickly find what you are looking for in the output of the
ip command. Color helps.
This patch adds a '-c' flag to highlight these with individual colors:
- interface name
- ip address
- mac address
- up/down state

- Pull in the uapi mpls.h
- Update rtnetlink.h to include the mpls rtnetlink notification multicast group.
- Define AF_MPLS in utils.h if it is not defined from elsewhere
as is done with AF_DECnet
The address syntax for multiple mpls labels is a complete invention.
When I looked there seemed to be no wide spread convention for talking
about an mpls label stack in text for. Sometimes people did:
"{ Label1, Label2, Label3 }", sometimes people would do:
"[ label3, label2, label1 ]", and most of the time label
stacks were not explicitly shown at all.
The syntax I wound up using, so it would not have spaces and so it
would visually distinct from other kinds of addresses is.
label1/label2/label3 Where label1 is the label at the top of the label
stack and label3 is the label at the bottom on the label stack.
When there is a single label this matches what seems to be convention
with other tools. Just print out the numeric value of the mpls label.
The netlink protocol for labels uses the on the wire format for a
label stack. The ttl and traffic class are expected to be 0. Using
the on the wire format is common and what happens with other address
types. BGP when passing label stacks also uses this technique with the
exception that the ttl byte is not included making each label in a BGP
label stack 3 bytes instead of 4.

This change allows to exec some cmd on each
named netns (except default) by specifying '-all' option:
# ip -all netns exec ip link
Each command executes synchronously.
Exit status is not considered, so there might be a case
that some CMD can fail on some netns but success on the other.
EXAMPLES:
1) Show link info on all netns:
$ ip -all netns exec ip link
netns: test_net
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
4: tap0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500
link/ether 1a:19:6f:25:eb:85 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
netns: home0
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
4: tap0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500
link/ether ea:1a:59:40:d3:29 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
netns: lan0
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
4: tap0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 500

Add ip link command parsing for VF spoof checking enable/disable
V2 - Fixed problem with parsing of dump info on kernels that don't
support the spoof checking option and also wrapped the ifla_vf_info
structure in #ifdef __KERNEL__ to prevent user space from directly
accessing the structure
V3 - Improved parsing of vfinfo
V4 - Put Makefile back to proper list of subdirs
V5 - Remove struct ifla_vf_info, it is only used by the kernel
V6 - Make sure spoof check is reported by the driver - rtnl will set
it to -1 to indicate driver didn't report a value.

Command "monitor" is unknown, try "ip route help".
(I guess what was really intended is "ip monitor route", so just remove

The goal of this code change is to implement a mechanism such that it is
simple to work with a kernel that is using multiple network namespaces
at once.
This comes in handy for interacting with vpns where there may be rfc1918
address overlaps, and different policies default routes, name servers
and the like.
Configuration specific to a network namespace that would ordinarily be
stored under /etc/ is stored under /etc/netns/<name>. For example if
the dns server configuration is different for your vpn you would create
a file /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf.
File descriptors that can be used to manipulate a network namespace can
be created by opening /var/run/netns/<NAME>.
This adds the following commands to iproute.
ip netns add NAME
ip netns delete NAME
ip netns monitor
ip netns list
ip netns exec NAME cmd ....
ip link set DEV netns NAME
ip netns exec exists to cater the vast majority of programs that only
know how to operate in a single network namespace. ip netns exec
changes the default network namespace, creates a new mount namespace,
remounts /sys and bind mounts netns specific configuration files to
their standard locations.

The ip(8) man page and the "ip xfrm [ XFRM-OBJECT ] help" command output
are updated to include missing options, fix errors, and improve grammar.
There are no functional changes made.
The documentation for the ip command has many different meanings for the
same formatting symbols (which really needs to be fixed). This patch makes
consistent use of brackets [ ] to indicate optional parameters, pipes | to
mean "OR", braces { } to group things together, and dashes - instead of
underscores _ inside of parameter names. The parameters are listed in the
order in which they are parsed in the source code.
There are several parameters and options that are still not mentioned or
need to be described more thoroughly in the "COMMAND SYNTAX" section of
the ip(8) man page. I would appreciate help from the developers with this.

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.
Add the group keyword to ip link set, which has the following meaning:
If both a group and a device name are pressent, we change the device's
group to the specified one. If only a group is present, then the
operation specified by the rest of the command should apply on an entire
group, not a single device.
So, to set eth0 to the default group, one would use
ip link set dev eth0 group default
Conversely, to set all the devices in the default group down, use
ip link set group default down

This patch adds save and restore commands to "ip route". Save dumps
the RTNL stream to stdout which can then be passed to restore later.
This may be helpful in some normal situations, and will allow C/R to
migrate the routing information in userspace. Tweaking of the stream
can be done by userspace helpers to convert between versions and adjust
things like device indexes when restoring routes in a different
environment.
By factoring out some of the common bits of print_route() into
filter_nlmsg(), the "save" command can use the same selection logic
as "list," allowing the caller to save only specific routes as
necessary.
The only change since the RFC is the addition of manpage and doc
material.

The default remains at 10 for backwards compatibility.
For instance:
# ip addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 10 rounds. ***
# ip -l 20 addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 20 rounds. ***
# ip -loops 0 addr flush dev eth2
#

Currently you can configure "equalize" and it looks all fine and dandy.
The kernel has the interface defined, but apparently there's never actually
been any implementation for it (only a never merged patch in the 2.4 era).
I'm suggesting to drop the code to give any potential users of this feature
the benefit of receiving a proper error message. I see it unlikely that
this will be implemented in the near future, but if it ever happens
reviving the iproute2 side should be as easy as git revert this patch.
