From 1f56a01f4ed1bbb36ff2a97f75a6e6231d790cff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin KaFai Lau Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:03:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Consider RTF_CACHE when searching the fib6 tree It is a prep work for the later bug-fix patch which will stop /128 route from disappearing after pmtu update. The later bug-fix patch will allow a /128 route and its RTF_CACHE clone both exist at the same fib6_node. To do this, we need to prepare the existing fib6 tree search to expect RTF_CACHE for /128 route. Note that the fn->leaf is sorted by rt6i_metric. Hence, RTF_CACHE (if there is any) is always at the front. This property leads to the following: 1. When doing ip6_route_del(), it should honor the RTF_CACHE flag which the caller is used to ask for deleting clone or non-clone. The rtm_to_fib6_config() should also check the RTM_F_CLONED and then set RTF_CACHE accordingly so that: - 'ip -6 r del...' will make ip6_route_del() to delete a route and all its clones. Note that its clones is flushed by fib6_del() - 'ip -6 r flush table cache' will make ip6_route_del() to only delete clone(s). 2. Exclude RTF_CACHE from addrconf_get_prefix_route() which should not configure on a cloned route. 3. No change is need for rt6_device_match() since it currently could return a RTF_CACHE clone route, so the later bug-fix patch will not affect it.
