Sabrina Dubroca 67e194007b ipv6: make ECMP route replacement less greedy
Commit 2759647247 ("ipv6: fix ECMP route replacement") introduced a
loop that removes all siblings of an ECMP route that is being
replaced. However, this loop doesn't stop when it has replaced
siblings, and keeps removing other routes with a higher metric.
We also end up triggering the WARN_ON after the loop, because after
this nsiblings < 0.

Instead, stop the loop when we have taken care of all routes with the
same metric as the route being replaced.

  Reproducer:
  ===========
    #!/bin/sh

    ip netns add ns1
    ip netns add ns2
    ip -net ns1 link set lo up

    for x in 0 1 2 ; do
        ip link add veth$x netns ns2 type veth peer name eth$x netns ns1
        ip -net ns1 link set eth$x up
        ip -net ns2 link set veth$x up
    done

    ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::0 dev eth0 \
            nexthop via fe80::1 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::2 dev eth2
    ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::42 dev eth0 metric 256
    ip -net ns1 -6 r a 2000::/64 via fe80::43 dev eth0 metric 2048

    echo "before replace, 3 routes"
    ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00'
    echo

    ip -net ns1 -6 r c 2000::/64 nexthop via fe80::4 dev eth0 \
            nexthop via fe80::5 dev eth1 nexthop via fe80::6 dev eth2

    echo "after replace, only 2 routes, metric 2048 is gone"
    ip -net ns1 -6 r | grep -v '^fe80\|^ff00'

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
