net: ipv4: add sysctl for nexthop api compatibility mode
Current route nexthop API maintains user space compatibility with old route API by default. Dumps and netlink notifications support both new and old API format. In systems which have moved to the new API, this compatibility mode cancels some of the performance benefits provided by the new nexthop API. This patch adds new sysctl nexthop_compat_mode which is on by default but provides the ability to turn off compatibility mode allowing systems to run entirely with the new routing API. Old route API behaviour and support is not modified by this sysctl. Uses a single sysctl to cover both ipv4 and ipv6 following other sysctls. Covers dumps and delete notifications as suggested by David Ahern. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
