ipv4: fix value of ->nlmsg_flags reported in RTM_NEWROUTE events fib_table_insert() inconsistently fills the nlmsg_flags field in its notification messages. Since commit b8f558313506 ("[RTNETLINK]: Fix sending netlink message when replace route."), the netlink message has its nlmsg_flags set to NLM_F_REPLACE if the route replaced a preexisting one. Then commit a2bb6d7d6f42 ("ipv4: include NLM_F_APPEND flag in append route notifications") started setting nlmsg_flags to NLM_F_APPEND if the route matched a preexisting one but was appended. In other cases (exclusive creation or prepend), nlmsg_flags is 0. This patch sets ->nlmsg_flags in all situations, preserving the semantic of the NLM_F_* bits: * NLM_F_CREATE: a new fib entry has been created for this route. * NLM_F_EXCL: no other fib entry existed for this route. * NLM_F_REPLACE: this route has overwritten a preexisting fib entry. * NLM_F_APPEND: the new fib entry was added after other entries for the same route. As a result, the possible flag combination can now be reported (iproute2's terminology into parentheses): * NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_EXCL: route didn't exist, exclusive creation ("add"). * NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_APPEND: route did already exist, new route added after preexisting ones ("append"). * NLM_F_CREATE: route did already exist, new route added before preexisting ones ("prepend"). * NLM_F_REPLACE: route did already exist, new route replaced the first preexisting one ("change").
