Commit 32607a332c ("ipv4: prefer multipath nexthop that matches source
address") changed IPv4 nexthop selection to prefer a nexthop whose
nexthop device is assigned the specified source address for locally
generated traffic.
While the selection honors the "fib_multipath_use_neigh" sysctl and will
not choose a nexthop with an invalid neighbour, it does not honor the
"ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl and can choose a nexthop without a
carrier:
$ sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown
net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 1
$ ip route show 198.51.100.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
nexthop via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1 weight 1
nexthop via 192.0.2.18 dev dummy2 weight 1 dead linkdown
$ ip route get 198.51.100.1 from 192.0.2.17
198.51.100.1 from 192.0.2.17 via 192.0.2.18 dev dummy2 uid 0
Solve this by skipping over nexthops whose assigned hash upper bound is
minus one, which is the value assigned to nexthops that do not have a
carrier when the "ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl is set.
In practice, this probably does not matter a lot as the initial route
lookup for the source address would not choose a nexthop that does not
have a carrier in the first place, but the change does make the code
clearer.

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.
