From fe4007999599c02598c17b643e8de43e487d48e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 09:09:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fib: Provide offload indication using nexthop flags IPv6 routes currently lack nexthop flags as in IPv4. This has several implications. In the forwarding path, it requires us to check the carrier state of the nexthop device and potentially ignore a linkdown route, instead of checking for RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. It also requires capable drivers to use the user facing IPv6-specific route flags to provide offload indication, instead of using the nexthop flags as in IPv4. Add nexthop flags to IPv6 routes in the 40 bytes hole and use it to provide offload indication instead of the RTF_OFFLOAD flag, which is removed while it's still not part of any official kernel release. In the near future we would like to use the field for the RTNH_F_{LINKDOWN,DEAD} flags, but this change is more involved and might not be ready in time for the current cycle.
