ipv6: Fix nlmsg_flags when splitting a multipath route
When splitting an RTA_MULTIPATH request into multiple routes and adding the second and later components, we must not simply remove NLM_F_REPLACE but instead replace it by NLM_F_CREATE. Otherwise, it may look like the netlink message was malformed. For example, ip route add 2001:db8::1/128 dev dummy0 ip route change 2001:db8::1/128 nexthop via fe80::30:1 dev dummy0 \ nexthop via fe80::30:2 dev dummy0 results in the following warnings: [ 1035.057019] IPv6: RTM_NEWROUTE with no NLM_F_CREATE or NLM_F_REPLACE [ 1035.057517] IPv6: NLM_F_CREATE should be set when creating new route This patch makes the nlmsg sequence look equivalent for __ip6_ins_rt() to what it would get if the multipath route had been added in multiple netlink operations: ip route add 2001:db8::1/128 dev dummy0 ip route change 2001:db8::1/128 nexthop via fe80::30:1 dev dummy0 ip route append 2001:db8::1/128 nexthop via fe80::30:2 dev dummy0 Fixes: 27596472473a ("ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement") Signed-off-by: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
