This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".

Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg
devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for
compatibility reasons.

Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.

Example usage:

- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:

uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_TABLE, &amp;table, sizeof(table));

- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:

# ip mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

Now that cache entries in unres_queue don't need to be distinguished by their
network namespace pointer anymore, we can remove it from struct mfc_cache
add pass the namespace as function argument to the functions that need it.

<title>add vif using local interface index instead of IP</title>

<content type='text'>
When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it
performs something like:

       struct vifctl vc = {
               .vifc_vifi  = 1,
               .vifc_flags = 0,
               .vifc_threshold = 1,
               .vifc_rate_limit = 0,
               .vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* &lt;--- ip address of physical
interface, e.g. eth0 */
               .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
         };
       setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &amp;vc, sizeof(vc));

This leads (in the kernel) to calling  vif_add() function call which
search the (physical) device using assigned IP address:
       dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc-&gt;vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr);

The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an
interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a
single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found.

The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface
by its index, instead of IP address:

       struct vifctl vc = {
               .vifc_vifi  = 1,
               .vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX,   /* NEW */
               .vifc_threshold = 1,
               .vifc_rate_limit = 0,
               .vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"),   /* NEW */
               .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
         };
       setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &amp;vc, sizeof(vc));

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

<title>netns: ipmr: enable namespace support in ipv4 multicast routing code</title>

This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv4 multicast routing code.

This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or
mfc_caches depending on the routines' contexts.

Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* vif_add/vif_delete
* ipmr_new_tunnel
* mroute_clean_tables
* ipmr_cache_find
* ipmr_cache_report
* ipmr_cache_unresolved
* ipmr_mfc_add/ipmr_mfc_delete
* ipmr_get_route
* rt_fill_info (in route.c)

This patch stores into struct mfc_cache the network namespace each
mfc_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc_net.

mfc_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during
the rest of the cache entry life.
A new net parameter is added to ipmr_cache_alloc/ipmr_cache_alloc_unres.

This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv4 multicast
routing code.

At the moment, all mfc_cache are allocated in init_net.

Nothing in linux/pim.h should be exported to userspace.

This should fix the XORP build failure reported by
Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer.

Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace
ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into
this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong.  If we didn't provide these
definitions for 10 years we can reasonably expect that applications
defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the
protocol definitions.  And as such the only result of this can
be conflict and userland build breakage.
