ipv6: make ECMP route replacement less greedy
Commit 27596472473a ("ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement") introduced a loop that removes all siblings of an ECMP route that is being replaced. However, this loop doesn't stop when it has replaced siblings, and keeps removing other routes with a higher metric. We also end up triggering the WARN_ON after the loop, because after this nsiblings < 0. Instead, stop the loop when we have taken care of all routes with the same metric as the route being replaced. Reproducer: =========== #!/bin/sh ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 ip -net ns1 link set lo up for x in 0 1 2 ; do ip link add veth$x netns ns2 type veth peer name eth$x netns ns1 ip -net ns1 link set eth$x up ip -net ns2 link set veth$x up done ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::0 dev eth0 \ nexthop via fe80::1 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev eth2 ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::42 dev eth0 metric 256 ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::43 dev eth0 metric 2048 echo "before replace, 3 routes" ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00' echo ip -net ns1 -6 r c 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::4 dev eth0 \ nexthop via fe80::5 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::6 dev eth2 echo "after replace, only 2 routes, metric 2048 is gone" ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00' Fixes: 27596472473a ("ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement") Signed-off-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net> Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Reviewed-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
