After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, fib6_lookup() could potentially return an intermediate node if other thread is doing fib6_del() on a route which is the only route on the node so that fib6_repair_tree() will be called on this node and potentially assigns fn->leaf to the its child's fn->leaf. In order to detect this situation in rt6_select(), we have to check if fn->fn_bit is consistent with the key length stored in the route. And depending on if the fn is in the subtree or not, the key is either rt->rt6i_dst or rt->rt6i_src. If any inconsistency is found, that means the node no longer holds valid routes in it. So net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry is returned. Signed-off-by:
