net: ipv6: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups
Similar to 3bfd847203c6 ("net: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups")
for IPv4, if the route spec contains a table id use that to lookup the
next hop first and fall back to a full lookup if it fails (per the fix
4c9bcd117918b ("net: Fix nexthop lookups")).
Example:
root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro ls table red
local 2100:1::1 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
2100:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
local 2100:2::1 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
2100:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
local fe80::e0:f9ff:fe09:3cac dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
local fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
ff00::/8 dev red metric 256 pref medium
ff00::/8 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium
ff00::/8 dev eth2 metric 256 pref medium
unreachable default dev lo metric 240 error -113 pref medium
root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro add table red 2100:3::/64 via 2100:1::64
RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
Route add fails even though 2100:1::64 is a reachable next hop:
root@kenny:~# ping6 -I red 2100:1::64
ping6: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than red.
PING 2100:1::64(2100:1::64) from 2100:1::1 red: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2100:1::64: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.33 ms
With this patch:
root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro add table red 2100:3::/64 via 2100:1::64
root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro ls table red
