From: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com> IPv6 has a fib6_nh embedded within each fib6_info and a separate fib6_info for each path in a multipath route. A side effect is that a fib6_info is passed all the way down the stack when selecting a path on a fib lookup. Refactor the fib lookup functions and associated helper functions to take a fib6_nh when appropriate to enable IPv6 to work with nexthop objects where the fib6_nh is not directly part of a fib entry.
David Ahern (10): ipv6: only call rt6_check_neigh for nexthop with gateway ipv6: Remove rt6_check_dev ipv6: Change rt6_probe to take a fib6_nh ipv6: Pass fib6_nh and flags to rt6_score_route ipv6: Refactor find_match ipv6: Refactor find_rr_leaf ipv6: Be smarter with null_entry handling in ip6_pol_route_lookup ipv6: Move fib6_multipath_select down in ip6_pol_route ipv6: Refactor rt6_device_match ipv6: Refactor __ip6_route_redirect include/net/ip6_fib.h | 8 +- net/ipv6/route.c | 266 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- 2 files changed, 149 insertions(+), 125 deletions(-) -- 2.11.0
