This keeps us from crashing in certain test cases where we
bring up many (1000, for instance) mac-vlans with IPv6
enabled in the kernel. This bug has been around for a
very long time.
Until a real fix is found (and for stable), maybe it
is better to return an incomplete fib walk instead
of crashing.

Does your use case that triggers this involve replacing routes? I just
noticed the route delete code in fib6_add_rt2node does not have the
'Adjust walkers' code that is in fib6_del_route.
Further, the adjust walkers code in fib6_del_route looks suspicious in
its timing with route deletes. If you have a reliable reproducer we can
try a few things with fib6_del_route and the walker code.
Yes, we replace routes, and yes we can reliably reproduce it and will
be happy to test patches.
Thanks,
Ben
