From 9217d8c2fe743f02a3ce6d430fe3b5d514fd5f1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2017 13:28:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Regenerate host route according to node pointer upon loopback up When the loopback device is brought back up we need to check if the host route attached to the address is still in the FIB and regenerate one in case it's not. Host routes using the loopback device are always inserted into and removed from the FIB under RTNL (under which this function is called), so we can test their node pointer instead of the reference count in order to check if the route is in the FIB or not. Tested using the following script from Nicolas mentioned in commit a220445f9f43 ("ipv6: correctly add local routes when lo goes up"): $ ip link add dummy1 type dummy $ ip link set dummy1 up $ ip link set lo down ; ip link set lo up The host route is correctly regenerated.
