From 5be083cedc087b2d457ef2e9c2d5698c94d3d5e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 15:57:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv6: Remove redundant RTA_OIF in multipath routes Dinesh reported that RTA_MULTIPATH nexthops are 8-bytes larger with IPv6 than IPv4. The recent refactoring for multipath support in netlink messages does discriminate between non-multipath which needs the OIF and multipath which adds a rtnexthop struct for each hop making the RTA_OIF attribute redundant. Resolve by adding a flag to the info function to skip the oif for multipath.
