Miller" Cc: Nicolas Dichtel , netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Alexey Kuznetsov , James Morris , Hideaki YOSHIFUJI , Patrick McHardy , roopa Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 21:59:46 +0200 (CEST) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1636 Lines: 52 If adding a nexthop of an IPv6 multipath route fails, comment in ip6_route_multipath() says we are going to delete all nexthops already added. However, current implementation deletes even the routes it hasn't even tried to add yet. For example, running ip route add 1234:5678::/64 \ nexthop via fe80::aa dev dummy1 \ nexthop via fe80::bb dev dummy1 \ nexthop via fe80::cc dev dummy1 twice results in removing all routes first command added. Limit the second (delete) run to nexthops that succeeded in the first (add) run.
