974ef93bf1 iplink: enable to specify a name for the link-netns
The 'link-netnsid' argument needs a number. Add 'link-netns' when the user
wants to use the iproute2 netns name instead of the nsid.

Example:
ip link add ipip1 link-netns foo type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249

65083b5fe3 ip: defer lookup interface index
The ip command would always lookup the network device index
even when not necessary. This slows down operations like creating
lots of VLAN's.

David reported the original issue, this is an alternative patch
that solves it in a slightly more general method.

Using iproute2 to create a bridge and add 4094 vlans to it can take from
2 to 3 *minutes*. The reason is the extraneous call to ll_name_to_index.
ll_name_to_index results in an ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) call which in turn
invokes dev_load. If the index does not exist, which it won't when
creating a new link, dev_load calls modprobe twice -- once for
netdev-NAME and again for NAME. This is unnecessary overhead for each
link create.

When ip link is invoked for a new device, there is no reason to
call ll_name_to_index for the new device. With this patch, creating
a bridge and adding 4094 vlans takes less than 3 *seconds*.

c58213f69c iplink: Perform most of request buffer setups and checks in iplink_parse()
To benefit other users (e.g. link_veth.c) of iplink_parse() from
additional attribute checks and setups made in iplink_modify(). This
catches most of weired cobination of parameters to peer device
configuration.

Drop @name, @dev, @link, @group and @index from iplink_parse() parameters
list: they are not needed outside.

While there change return -1 to exit(-1) for group parsing errors: we
want to stop further command processing unless -force option is given
to get error line easily.

This reverts commit 63891c7013.

It seems print_linkinfo_brief() never accepts filter different than

new change that actually do revert.

Conflicts:

	ip/iplink.c

These are caused by JSON support addition after commit we reverting.

837552b445 iplink: add support for afstats subcommand
Add support for new afstats subcommand. This uses the new
IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute of RTM_GETSTATS messages to show
per-device, AF-specific stats. At the moment the kernel only supports
MPLS AF stats, so that is all that's implemented here.

The print_num function is exposed from ipaddress.c to be used for
printing the new stats so that the human-readable option, if set, can
be respected.

Example of use:

    $ ./ip/ip -f mpls link afstats dev eth1
    3: eth1
        mpls:
            RX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped  noroute

1949f82cdf Introduce ip vrf command
'ip vrf' follows the user semnatics established by 'ip netns'.

The 'ip vrf' subcommand supports 3 usages:

1. Run a command against a given vrf:
       ip vrf exec NAME CMD

   Uses the recently committed cgroup/sock BPF option. vrf directory
   is added to cgroup2 mount. Individual vrfs are created under it. BPF
   filter attached to vrf/NAME cgroup2 to set sk_bound_dev_if to the VRF
   device index. From there the current process (ip's pid) is addded to
   the cgroups.proc file and the given command is exected. In doing so
   all AF_INET/AF_INET6 (ipv4/ipv6) sockets are automatically bound to
   the VRF domain.

   The association is inherited parent to child allowing the command to
   be a shell from which other commands are run relative to the VRF.

2. Show the VRF a process is bound to:
       ip vrf id
   This command essentially looks at /proc/pid/cgroup for a "::/vrf/"
   entry with the VRF name following.

3. Show process ids bound to a VRF
       ip vrf pids NAME
   This command dumps the file MNT/vrf/NAME/cgroup.procs since that file
   shows the process ids in the particular vrf cgroup.

d652ccbf81 netns: allow to dump and monitor nsid
Two commands are added:
 - ip netns list-id
 - ip monitor nsid

A cache is also added to remember the association between the iproute2 netns
name (from /var/run/netns/) and the nsid.
To avoid interfering with the rth socket, a new rtnl socket (rtnsh) is used to
get nsid (we may send rtnl request during listing on rth).

Example:
$ ip netns list-id
nsid 0 (iproute2 netns name: foo)
$ ip monitor nsid
Deleted nsid 0 (iproute2 netns name: foo)
nsid 16 (iproute2 netns name: bar)

50b9950dd9 link dump filter
This patch avoids a full link wildump request when the user has specified
a single link. Uses RTM_GETLINK without the NLM_F_DUMP flag.

This helps on a system with large number of interfaces.

This patch currently only uses the link ifindex in the filter.
Hoping to provide a subsequent kernel patch to do link dump filtering on
other attributes in the kernel.

In iplink_get, to be safe, this patch currently sets the answer buffer
size to the max size that libnetlink rtnl_talk can copy. The current api
does not seem to provide a way to indicate the answer buf size.

f89a2a05ff Add support to configure SR-IOV VF minimum and maximum Tx rate through ip tool
o "min_tx_rate" option has been added for minimum Tx rate. Hence, for
  consistent naming, "max_tx_rate" option has been introduced for maximum
  Tx rate.

o Change in v2: "rate" can be used along with "max_tx_rate".
  When both are specified, "max_tx_rate" should override.

o Change in v3:
  * IFLA_VF_RATE: When IFLA_VF_RATE is used, and user has given only one of
    min_tx_rate or max_tx_rate, reading of previous rate limits is done in
    userspace instead of in kernel space before ndo_set_vf_rate.

  * IFLA_VF_TX_RATE: When IFLA_VF_TX_RATE is used, min_tx_rate is always read
    in kernel space. This takes care of below scenarios:
    (1) when old tool sends "rate" but kernel is new (expects min and max)
    (2) when new tool sends only "rate" but kernel is old (expects only "rate")

o Change in v4 as suggested by Stephen Hemminger:
  * As per iproute policy, input and output formats should match. Changing display
    of max_tx_rate and min_tx_rate options accordingly.

191b60bd73 ip: ipv6: add tokenized interface identifier support
This patch adds support for tokenized IIDs, that enable
administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix
from Router Advertisements. This is the iproute2 part for
the kernel patch f53adae4eae5 (``net: ipv6: add tokenized
interface identifier support'').

Example commands with iproute2:

Setting a device token:
  # ip token set ::1a:2b:3c:4d/64 dev eth1

Getting a device token:
  # ip token get dev eth1
  token ::1a:2b:3c:4d dev eth1

Listing all tokens:
  # ip token list  (or: ip token)
  token :: dev eth0
  token ::1a:2b:3c:4d dev eth1

e34d3dcce2 ip: use rtnelink to manage mroute
mroute was using /proc/net/ip_mr_[vif|cache] to display mroute entries. Hence,
only RT_TABLE_DEFAULT was displayed and only IPv4.
With rtnetlink, it is possible to display all tables for IPv4 and IPv6. The output
format is kept. Also, like before the patch, statistics are displayed when user specify
the '-s' argument.

The patch also adds the support of 'ip monitor mroute', which is now possible.

9d0efc1048 ip: add support of 'ip link type ip6tnl'
This patch allows to manage ip6 tunnels via the interface ip link.
The syntax for parameters is the same that 'ip -6 tunnel'.

It also allows to display tunnels parameters with 'ip -details link' or
'ip -details monitor link'.

0dc34c7713 iproute2: Add processless network namespace support
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.
