Currently, IPv6 router discovery always puts routes into
RT6_TABLE_MAIN. This makes it difficult to maintain and switch
between multiple simultaneous network connections (e.g., wifi
and wired).
To work around this connection managers typically either move
autoconfiguration to userspace entirely (e.g., dhcpcd) or take
the routes they want and re-add them to the main table as static
routes with low metrics (e.g., NetworkManager). This puts the
burden on the connection manager to watch netlink or listen to
RAs to see if the routes have changed, delete the routes when
their lifetime expires, etc. This is complex and often not
implemented correctly.
This patch adds a per-interface sysctl to have the kernel put
autoconf routes into different tables. This allows each interface
to have its own routing table if desired. Choosing the default
interface, or using different interfaces at the same time on a
per-socket or per-packet basis) can be done using policy routing
mechanisms that use as SO_BINDTODEVICE / IPV6_PKTINFO, mark-based
routing, or UID-based routing to select specific routing tables.
The sysctl behaves as follows:
- = 0: default. Put routes into RT6_TABLE_MAIN if the interface
is not in a VRF, or into the VRF table if it is.
- > 0: manual. Put routes into the specified table.
- < 0: automatic. Add the absolute value of the sysctl to the
device's ifindex, and use that table.
The automatic mode is most useful in conjunction with
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra_rt_table. A connection manager
or distribution can set this to, say, -1000 on boot, and
thereafter know that routes received on every interface will
always be in that interface's routing table, and that the mapping
between interfaces and routing tables is deterministic. It also
ensures that if an interface is created and immediately receives
an RA, the route will go into the correct routing table without
needing any intervention from userspace.
The automatic mode (with conf.default.accept_ra_rt_table = -1000)
has been used in Android since 5.0.
Tested: compiles allnoconfig, allyesconfig, allmodconfig
Tested: passes existing Android kernel unit tests
