Change addrconf_f6i_alloc to generate a fib6_config and call ip6_route_info_create. addrconf_f6i_alloc is the last caller to fib6_info_alloc besides ip6_route_info_create, and there is no reason for it to do its own initialization on a fib6_info. Host routes need to be created even if the device is down, so add a new flag, fc_ignore_dev_down, to fib6_config and update fib6_nh_init to not error out if device is not up. Notes on the conversion: - ip_fib_metrics_init is the same as fib6_config has fc_mx set to NULL and fc_mx_len set to 0 - dst_nocount is handled by the RTF_ADDRCONF flag - dst_host is handled by fc_dst_len = 128 nh_gw does not get set after the conversion to ip6_route_info_create but it should not be set in addrconf_f6i_alloc since this is a host route not a gateway route. Everything else is a straight forward map between fib6_info and fib6_config. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
