Roopa reported attempts to delete a bond device that is referenced in a
multipath route is hanging:
$ ifdown bond2 # ifupdown2 command that deletes virtual devices
unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond2 to become free. Usage count = 2
Steps to reproduce:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/ignore_routes_with_linkdown
ip link add dev bond12 type bond
ip link add dev bond13 type bond
ip addr add 2001:db8:2::0/64 dev bond12
ip addr add 2001:db8:3::0/64 dev bond13
ip route add 2001:db8:33::0/64 nexthop via 2001:db8:2::2 nexthop via 2001:db8:3::2
ip link del dev bond12
ip link del dev bond13
The root cause is the recent change to keep routes on a linkdown. Update
the check to detect when the device is unregistering and release the
route for that case.
Fixes: a1a22c1206 ("net: ipv6: Keep nexthop of multipath route on admin down")

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.
