Merge branch 'rt6_pmtu'
Martin KaFai Lau says: ==================== ipv6: Stop /128 route from disappearing after pmtu update The series is separated from another patch series, 'ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE route after encountering pmtu exception', which can be found here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/359140 This series focus on fixing the /128 route issues. It is currently targeted for net-next due to the number of code churn but it is also applicable to net (should be without conflict). The original reported problem can be found here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/348138 Patch 01 and 02 are to prepare the fib6 search to expect both the RTF_CACHE clone and its original route exist at the same fib6_node. Patch 03 fixes the /128 route disappearing bug. Patch 04 and 05 stop rt6_info from using the inet_peer's metrics to avoid the /128 routes (like the /128 clone and its original route) from stepping on each others' metrics. The second patch is by 'Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>' which I pulled off from netdev. The third patch is also mostly by Steffen with one minor optimization. Many thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> on reviewing the patches and giving advice. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
