Eyal Birger 2c2493b9da xfrm: lwtunnel: add lwtunnel support for xfrm interfaces in collect_md mode
Allow specifying the xfrm interface if_id and link as part of a route
metadata using the lwtunnel infrastructure.

This allows for example using a single xfrm interface in collect_md
mode as the target of multiple routes each specifying a different if_id.

With the appropriate changes to iproute2, considering an xfrm device
ipsec1 in collect_md mode one can for example add a route specifying
an if_id like so:

ip route add <SUBNET> dev ipsec1 encap xfrm if_id 1

In which case traffic routed to the device via this route would use
if_id in the xfrm interface policy lookup.

Or in the context of vrf, one can also specify the "link" property:

ip route add <SUBNET> dev ipsec1 encap xfrm if_id 1 link_dev eth15

Note: LWT_XFRM_LINK uses NLA_U32 similar to IFLA_XFRM_LINK even though
internally "link" is signed. This is consistent with other _LINK
attributes in other devices as well as in bpf and should not have an
effect as device indexes can't be negative.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
