Daniel Borkmann 3dc20f4762 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

README 

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.
