net: ipv6: Keep nexthop of multipath route on admin down IPv6 deletes route entries associated with multipath routes on an admin down where IPv4 does not. For example: $ ip ro ls vrf red unreachable default metric 8192 1.1.1.0/24 metric 64 nexthop via 10.100.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1 nexthop via 10.100.2.254 dev eth2 weight 1 10.100.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.1.4 10.100.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.2.4 $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:2:: dev red proto none metric 0 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:1::16 dev eth1 metric 1024 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:2::17 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium ... Set link down: $ ip li set eth1 down IPv4 retains the multihop route but flags eth1 route as dead: $ ip ro ls vrf red unreachable default metric 8192 1.1.1.0/24 nexthop via 10.100.1.16 dev eth1 weight 1 dead linkdown nexthop via 10.100.2.16 dev eth2 weight 1 10.100.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.100.2.4 and IPv6 deletes the route as part of flushing all routes for the device: $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:2:: dev red proto none metric 0 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:2::17 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium ... Worse, on admin up of the device the multipath route has to be deleted to get this leg of the route re-added. This patch keeps routes that are part of a multipath route if ignore_routes_with_linkdown is set with the dead and linkdown flags enabling consistency between IPv4 and IPv6: $ ip -6 ro ls vrf red 2001:db8:2:: dev red proto none metric 0 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:1::16 dev eth1 metric 1024 dead linkdown pref medium 2001:db8:11::/120 via 2001:db8:2::17 dev eth2 metric 1024 pref medium ...
