ipvs: changes for local real server
This patch deals with local real servers: - Add support for DNAT to local address (different real server port). It needs ip_vs_out hook in LOCAL_OUT for both families because skb->protocol is not set for locally generated packets and can not be used to set 'af'. - Skip packets in ip_vs_in marked with skb->ipvs_property because ip_vs_out processing can be executed in LOCAL_OUT but we still have the conn_out_get check in ip_vs_in. - Ignore packets with inet->nodefrag from local stack - Require skb_dst(skb) != NULL because we use it to get struct net - Add support for changing the route to local IPv4 stack after DNAT depending on the source address type. Local client sets output route and the remote client sets input route. It looks like IPv6 does not need such rerouting because the replies use addresses from initial incoming header, not from skb route. - All transmitters now have strict checks for the destination address type: redirect from non-local address to local real server requires NAT method, local address can not be used as source address when talking to remote real server. - Now LOCALNODE is not set explicitly as forwarding method in real server to allow the connections to provide correct forwarding method to the backup server. Not sure if this breaks tools that expect to see 'Local' real server type. If needed, this can be supported with new flag IP_VS_DEST_F_LOCAL. Now it should be possible connections in backup that lost their fwmark information during sync to be forwarded properly to their daddr, even if it is local address in the backup server. By this way backup could be used as real server for DR or TUN, for NAT there are some restrictions because tuple collisions in conntracks can create problems for the traffic. - Call ip_vs_dst_reset when destination is updated in case some real server IP type is changed between local and remote.
