After the removal of rt->n we do not create a neighbour entry at route insertion time (rt6_bind_neighbour is gone). As long as no neighbour is created because of "useful traffic" we skip this routing entry because rt6_check_neigh cannot pick up a valid neighbour (neigh == NULL) and thus returns false. This change was introduced by commit 887c95cc ("ipv6: Complete neighbour entry removal from dst_entry.") To quote RFC4191: "If the host has no information about the router's reachability, then the host assumes the router is reachable." and also: "A host MUST NOT probe a router's reachability in the absence of useful traffic that the host would have sent to the router if it were reachable." So, just assume the router is reachable and let's rt6_probe do the rest. We don't need to create a neighbour on route insertion time. If we don't compile with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF (RFC4191 support) a neighbour is only valid if its nud_state is NUD_VALID. I did not find any references that we should probe the router on route insertion time via the other RFCs. So skip this route in that case. v2: a) use IS_ENABLED instead of #ifdefs (thanks to Sergei Shtylyov) Reported-by: Pierre Emeriaud <petrus.lt@gmail.com> Cc: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
