[lustre-devel] [PATCH 15/19] lnet: set eth routes needed for multi rail

[James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>]

From: Serguei Smirnov <ssmirnov@whamcloud.com>

When ksocklnd is initialized or new ethernet interfaces
are added via lnetctl, set the routing rules using a common
shell script ksocklnd-config. This ensures control over
source interface when sending traffic.

For example, for eth0 with ip 192.168.122.142/24:
   the output of "ip route show table eth0" should be
192.168.122.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.142

This step can be omitted by specifying
   options ksocklnd skip_mr_route_setup=1
in the conf file, or by using switch
   --skip-mr-route-setup
when adding NI with lnetctl. Note that the module parameter
takes priority over the lnetctl switch: if skip-mr-route-setup
is not specified when adding NI with lnetctl, the route still
won't get created if the conf file has skip_mr_route_setup=1.

The route also won't be created if any route already exists
for the given interface, assuming advanced users who manage
routing on their own will want to continue doing so.
