====================
net: extend RTM_GETROUTE to return fib result
This series adds a new RTM_F_FIB_MATCH flag to return matched fib result
with RTM_GETROUTE. This is useful for applications and protocols in
userspace wanting to query the selected route.
examples (with patched iproute2):
ipv4:
----
$ip route show
default via 192.168.0.2 dev eth0
10.0.14.0/24
nexthop via 172.16.0.3 dev dummy0 weight 1
nexthop via 172.16.1.3 dev dummy1 weight 1
$ip route get 10.0.14.2
10.0.14.2 via 172.16.1.3 dev dummy1 src 172.16.1.1
cache
$ip route get fibmatch 10.0.14.2
10.0.14.0/24
nexthop via 172.16.0.3 dev dummy0 weight 1
nexthop via 172.16.1.3 dev dummy1 weight 1
ipv6:
