Subject: [PATCH net v4] ipv6: fib6_rules: flush route cache when rule is changed

From: Shiming Cheng <[email protected]>

When rule policy is changed, ipv6 socket cache is not refreshed.
The sock's skb still uses a outdated route cache and was sent to
a wrong interface.

To avoid this error we should update fib node's version when
rule is changed. Then skb's route will be reroute checked as
route cache version is already different with fib node version.
The route cache is refreshed to match the latest rule.

Fixes: 101367c2f8c4 ("[IPV6]: Policy Routing Rules")

v4:
- add "Fixes:" tag.
- update subject as requested.
v3:
- update patch description and name format in commit message.
v2:
- modify flush function same way as ipv4 flush cache.
- use tabs to aligh with existing code.

Doesn't apply, please rebase on top of latest net/main.

Hi Jakub,
I use master branch to make this patch. And it seems same with
main branch of kernel/git/netdev/net.git.

Could you tell me which branch should be used?

Thanks
Lena

Hi Lena,

The primary branch is main these days.
If you are using master than it may well be stale.

For reference, the current HEAD commit is.

Hi Simon,
I clone a latest netdev main branch (on the 4daa873133d3) and make a
new patch diff. However it is totally same with PATCH v4.

Could you please help to check where the stale code is?


Thanks
Lena

It's not the diff, your email setup corrupted the patch.
Please try resending with git send-email ?
