The different parameters affecting the IPv6 route lookup are printed to
the trace buffer by the fib6_table_lookup tracepoint. Add the IPv6 flow
label for better observability as it can affect the route lookup both in
terms of multipath hash calculation and policy based routing (FIB
rules). Example:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/fib6/fib6_table_lookup/enable
# ip -6 route get ::1 flowlabel 0x12345 ipproto udp sport 12345 dport 54321 &> /dev/null
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
ip-358 [010] ..... 44.897484: fib6_table_lookup: table 255 oif 0 iif 1 proto 17 ::/12345 -> ::1/54321 flowlabel 0x12345 tos 0 scope 0 flags 0 ==> dev lo gw :: err 0

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
