After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel, but not necessarily in hardware. The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the route is installed in hardware. It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel. Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space (e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware. Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several reasons: - Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing routing daemons. - Convergence reasons in routing daemons. - The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate. - Not all users are interested in these notifications. Move fib6_info_hw_flags_set() to C file because it is no longer a short function.
