net, neigh: Enable state migration between NUD_PERMANENT and NTF_USE
Currently, it is not possible to migrate a neighbor entry between NUD_PERMANENT
state and NTF_USE flag with a dynamic NUD state from a user space control plane.
Similarly, it is not possible to add/remove NTF_EXT_LEARNED flag from an existing
neighbor entry in combination with NTF_USE flag.
This is due to the latter directly calling into neigh_event_send() without any
meta data updates as happening in __neigh_update(). Thus, to enable this use
case, extend the latter with a NEIGH_UPDATE_F_USE flag where we break the
NUD_PERMANENT state in particular so that a latter neigh_event_send() is able
to re-resolve a neighbor entry.
Before fix, NUD_PERMANENT -> NUD_* & NTF_USE:
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
[...]
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
[...]
As can be seen, despite the admin-triggered replace, the entry remains in the
NUD_PERMANENT state.
After fix, NUD_PERMANENT -> NUD_* & NTF_USE:
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
[...]
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a extern_learn REACHABLE
[...]
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a extern_learn STALE
[...]
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a PERMANENT
[...]
After the fix, the admin-triggered replace switches to a dynamic state from
the NTF_USE flag which triggered a new neighbor resolution. Likewise, we can
transition back from there, if needed, into NUD_PERMANENT.
Similar before/after behavior can be observed for below transitions:
Before fix, NTF_USE -> NTF_USE | NTF_EXT_LEARNED -> NTF_USE:
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a REACHABLE
[...]
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a REACHABLE
[...]
After fix, NTF_USE -> NTF_USE | NTF_EXT_LEARNED -> NTF_USE:
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a REACHABLE
[...]
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use extern_learn
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a extern_learn REACHABLE
[...]
# ./ip/ip n replace 192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 use
# ./ip/ip n
192.168.178.30 dev enp5s0 lladdr f4:8c:50:5e:71:9a REACHABLE
