LU-12080 lnet: clean mt_eqh properly
    
There is a scenario where you have a peer on your recovery queue
that's down. So you keep pinging it, but every ping times out
after 10 seconds. In the middle of these 10 seconds you perform a
shutdown. First you try to do the rsp_tracker_clean. It goes through
and calls MDUnlink on the MD related to that ping. But because the
message has a ref count on the MD, it doesn't go away. The MD gets
zombied. And just waits for lnet_md_unlink to be called in
lnet_finalize(). Then you hit clean_peer_ni_recovery. We see the peer
on the queue, we try to call Unlink on it, but when we lookup the
MD using lnet_handle2md() we can't find it. Afterwards we try to clean
up the EQ and it asserts. Even if we remove the assert we end up with
a resource leak since the EQ is not actually freed since we won't call
LNetEQFree() again.
   
The solution is to pull the EQ create in the LNetNIInit() and deletion
happens in lnet_unprepare. By this point all the remaining messages
would've been finalized and all references on the EQ are gone,
allowing us to clean it up properly

However with Mulit-Rail a gateway could have multiple interfaces on several different networks. Instead of using a single peer_ni as the gateway we should be using the peer and let the MR selection code select the best peer_ni to send to. This patch moves the gateway from peer to peer_ni. Much of the code needs to be rewritten in the following patches to account for that change. This patch disables the routing features by disabling the code to add/delete routes.

The routing code will change quiet a bit so this patch removes most of the current routing code and then reintroduces it later.

This patch concentrates on switching the gateway from using lnet_peer_ni to using lnet_peer.

The design decision here is that a gateway is a node where LNet is started with the routing feature enabled. A gateway node can have multiple interfaces. In order to align routing with Multi-Rail, then the code should be first selecting a gateway peer, then using multi-rail to select the best peer_ni on that gateway to use.

The following functions are removed in this patch and will be introduced in later patches

The lnet_route structure is changed in the following way:

It is no longer possible to determine the local network of the route by simply looking at the gateway peer, since the peer can have multiple interfaces on different networks. Therefore the route now must define the local network and remote network. This way we are able to select and compare routes properly.

The rest of the changes concentrate on removing the use of lnet_peer_ni as the gateway and replacing it with lnet_peer

In lib-move.c there are changes in both lnet_post_routed_recv_locked() and lnet_return_rx_credits_locked()

lnet_find_route_locked() is marked as "to be implemented". As a result lnet_handle_find_routed_path() which calls lnet_find_route_locked() is also incomplete due to removal of routing functionality. There are changes there, but the changes are mainly to avoid compilation problem. It will be re-implemented in a later patch.

Routing is disabled with this patch.

LU-12344 lnet: handle remote health error
    
When a peer is dead set the health status to REMOTE_DROPPED
in order to handle health properly for the peer.
When dropping a routed message set REMOTE_ERROR. Routed messages
are dropped when the routing feature is turned off which could
be considered a configuration error if it happens in the middle
of traffic. Therefore, it's better to flag this issue at this
point without resending the message.

LU-11300 lnet: router aliveness

A route is considered alive if the gateway is able to route
messages from the local to the remote net. That means that
at least one of the network interfaces on the remote net of
the gateway is viable.

Introduced the concept of sensitivity percentage. This defaults
to 100%. It holds a dual meaning:
1. A route is considered alive if at least one of the its interfaces'
health is >= LNET_MAX_HEALTH_VALUE * router_sensitivity_percentage
100 means at least one interface has to be 100% healthy
2. On a router consider a peer_ni dead if its health is not at least
LNET_MAX_HEALTH_VALUE * router_sensitivity_percentage.
100% means the interface has to be 100% healthy.

Re-implemented lnet_notify() to decrement the health of the
peer interface if the LND reports a failure on that peer.

NOTE: break up this patch into a patch which introduces the router_sensitvity_percentage and a patch which uses the value. The changes which are in lib-msg.c do not belong to this patch. Need a separate patch for it.

NOTE: This should be titled "route aliveness"

This patch introduces a new concept on how to determine that a route is alive. A route is alive if the following two conditions are met:

  1. At least one local interface to the route is healthy
  2. At least one remote interface of the route is up

The health value of a router remote interface will always be set to MAX because we do not send to it directly, therefore we never decrement its health value. The way we know if it's up or down is when we discover it, the router response with the status of the interface which we cache and use to determine the status of the remote interface.

Protect lp_dc_pendq manipulation with lp_lock
    
Protect the peer discovery queue from concurrent manipulation by
acquiring the lp_lock.

It's possible for lnet_is_health_check() to return "true" when the
message has not hit the network. In this situation the message is
freed without detaching the MD. As a result, requests do not receive
their unlink events and these requests are stuck forever.
    
A little cleanup is included here:
 - The value of lnet_is_health_check() is only used in one place, so
   we don't need to save the result of it in a variable.
 - We don't need separate logic to detach the md when the send was
   successful. We'll fall through to the finalizing code after
   incrementing the health counters

that a peer_ni is considered dead if it's interface is less than

LU-11300 lnet: router aliveness

A route is considered alive if the gateway is able to route
messages from the local to the remote net. That means that
at least one of the network interfaces on the remote net of
the gateway is viable.

Introduced the concept of sensitivity percentage. This defaults
to 100%. It holds a dual meaning:
1. A route is considered alive if at least one of the its interfaces'
health is >= LNET_MAX_HEALTH_VALUE * router_sensitivity_percentage
100 means at least one interface has to be 100% healthy
2. On a router consider a peer_ni dead if its health is not at least
LNET_MAX_HEALTH_VALUE * router_sensitivity_percentage.
100% means the interface has to be 100% healthy.

Re-implemented lnet_notify() to decrement the health of the
peer interface if the LND reports a failure on that peer.

NOTE: break up this patch into a patch which introduces the router_sensitvity_percentage and a patch which uses the value. The changes which are in lib-msg.c do not belong to this patch. Need a separate patch for it.

NOTE: This should be titled "route aliveness"

This patch introduces a new concept on how to determine that a route is alive. A route is alive if the following two conditions are met:

  1. At least one local interface to the route is healthy
  2. At least one remote interface of the route is up

The health value of a router remote interface will always be set to MAX because we do not send to it directly, therefore we never decrement its health value. The way we know if it's up or down is when we discover it, the router response with the status of the interface which we cache and use to determine the status of the remote interface.

 handle health for incoming messages

In case of routers (as well as for the general case) it's important to
update the health of the ni/lpni for incoming messages. For an lpni
specifically when we receive a message is when we know that the lpni
is up.

A percentage router health is required in order to send a message to a
gateway. That defaults to 100, meaning that a router interface has to
be absolutely healthy in order to send to it. This matches the current
behavior. So if a router interface goes down an its health goes down
significantly, but then it comes back up again; either we receive a
message from it or we discover it and get a reply, then in order to
start using that router interface again we have to boost its health
all the way up to maximum.

This behavior is special cased for routers.

    For testing routers we want to be able to add a rule on the router to drop all messages arriving on that router interface from anywhere. This way we can simulate a router interface down scenario. Problem is the source and destination in the router case are not the router NID. So the rule specifies the local NID of the router.

    If the local  nid is not specific then it default to LNET_NID_ANY. Unlike source and destination it is mandatory. specifying NID any allows the drop rule to match messages in the absence of a specified local_nid

    The original discovery behavior was that if you turn off discovery then it doesn't send a PING or a PUSH. However, this causes a problem for routers. One example is Cray need to turn off discovery because it interferes with their routing setup. To handle this we changed the behavior for discovery off case. Discovery will always PING when requested. When the PING REPLY comes it'll update the existing peer_nis but not add or move peers_nis among peers. This is needed to update the router peer_ni statuses on the nodes.

    Most of the changes are spread through peer.c to change what we do when discovery on the peer is off or when it is turned off locally

    We need to do that because if we increment it by 1 only and the percentage sensitivity is set to 100 we will not use that router interface for routing. This is to keep current routing behavior

    If the local  nid is not specific then it default to LNET_NID_ANY. Unlike source and destination it is mandatory. specifying NID any allows the drop rule to match messages in the absence of a specified local_nid

    from the:
    lnetctl route add
    command to set the health sensitivity of the gateway
    lnetctl route add --net <net> --gateway <gw> --sensitivity <value>

    receive a
    PING or a PUSH. However, this causes a problem for routers. One example is Cray need to turn off discovery because it interferes with their routing setup. To handle this we changed the behavior for discovery off case. Discovery will always PING when requested. When the PING REPLY comes it'll update the existing peer_nis but not add or move peers_nis among peers. This is needed to update the router peer_ni statuses on the nodes.
    ping, a push with the updated information is pushed to all the peers. This allows peers to stop using these routers if asym router failure is enabled (it is by default).

    handle router health off Routing infrastructure depends on health infrastructure to manage route status. However, health can be turned off. Therefore, we need to enable health for gateways in order to monitor them properly. Each peer now has its own health sensitivity. When adding a route the gateway's health sensitivity can be explicitly set from lnetctl or if not specified then it'll default to 1, thereby turning health on for that gateway, allowing peer NI recovery if there is a failure.

    LU-12053 lnet: look up MR peers routes
        
    An MR peer can have multiple interfaces some of which we might
    have a route to. The primary NID of the peer might not necessarily
    specify a NID we have a route to. When looking up a route, we must
    iterate over all the nets the peer is on and select the one which
    we can route to. Taking into consideration the peer can exist on
    multiple routed networks we also have a simple round robin algorithm
    to iterate over all the networks we can reach the peer on.
