Multipath routes can be rendered usesless when a device in one of the paths is deleted. For example:$ ip -f mpls ro ls 100 nexthop as to 200 via inet 172.16.2.2 dev virt12 nexthop as to 300 via inet 172.16.3.2 dev br0 101 nexthop as to 201 via inet6 2000:2::2 dev virt12 nexthop as to 301 via inet6 2000:3::2 dev br0 $ ip li del br0 When br0 is deleted the other hop is not considered in mpls_select_multipath because of the alive check -- rt_nhn_alive is 0. rt_nhn_alive is decremented once in mpls_ifdown when the device is taken down (NETDEV_DOWN) and again when it is deleted (NETDEV_UNREGISTER). For a 2 hop route, deleting one device drops the alive count to 0. Since devices are taken down before unregistering, the decrement on NETDEV_UNREGISTER is redundant.

Doesn't this leave the problem that if the device's link goes down and then the device gets deleted the alive count will be decremented twice for the same path?
Perhaps it would be better to change the condition for decrementing the alive count to be "!(nh->nh_flags & (RTNH_F_LINKDOWN | RTNH_F_DEAD))"?
Thanks, Rob
